  1. First in Swedish, but the group are from Finland (the Swedish speaking part)😄 A bit refreshing to send something different to the regular radio pop hit actually
  2. Oh I missed that this was not an olympic event 😞
  3. Surprised that the Swedish odds of winning Eurovision hasn't changed After Måns Zelmerlövs unexpected loss in Melodifestivalen
  4. What an athlete Tove Alexandersson. Finally she can compete for olympic medals after her previous 21 world championship golds in orienteering, 10 WCH golds in ski orienteering, 1 WCH gold in sky running and 1 previous gold in skimo.
  5. Yes. Norwegian sounds like a swede that is unreasonably happy that you can´t take it seriously. And Danish sounds like a drunk swede with a potato stuck in their throat.
  6. Ebba Andersson almost "died" of chock when she saw Sundling had reduced 39 seconds to 15 seconds already to First intermediate 😅 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DG5krCWNRKQ/?igsh=MTN1b2FtMmJoY2RlbQ==
  7. Norway put their weakest card on 4th in the womens relay! H Weng-Slind-Johaug-Fosnaes But I can understand. They Will lose a final sprint against Jonna anyway so their chance is to leave Sweden behind.
  8. Interesting to see what tactics are best today. Sundling and Skistad Will not go the same legs in the team sprint. Dahlqvist Will finish for Sweden. I have not seen the skiss team yet but Kaelin/Fähndrich could be an outsider?
  9. 9 individual WCH medals but when Will the First individual gold come from Frida😅
  10. USA are allowed to start with 5 (Free spot for Diggins) and only Brennan and Sonnsyn to start
  11. I think she had some limitations to be all round and consistent enough. She has good results in classic but her technique was more dependent on good grip then others, which made her results in classical style less consistent. Also she was obviously a good sprinter enough to win an olympic relay and be one of the most successfull team sprinters ever, but in indivual sprints, or in mass starts as most of the world cup races have been she has not been good enough compared to Björgen etc. Better in individual starts and especially freestyle. Around the 2010 olympic she was unbeatable in 10 km freestyle individual start but not at all the same in other disciplines and even if she improved in classic, others cathed her and she lost her advantage as the best technical freestyle skiier as I think she was back then. She has actually a podcast together with Jonna Sundling, Hanna Öberg and Elvira Öberg where they just recently discussed this. Some listeners questioned why the cross country skiiers and in particular some swedish women doesn´t seem to prioritize the world cup compared to the biathles. Also the Öberg sisters questioned that. Kalla said she really tried in the beginning of her career but her only sprint win was in that Tour de Ski 2008 and she had to accept she would be better and wouldn´t have the chance to win the overall world cup and then the championships became more important and she become a bit of a championship specialist, especially in olympics where she is the most decorated winter olympic athlete from Sweden (9 medals). but not so many WC wins. Sundling is a bit similar with the difference that they have different qualities and that Sundling was quite old when she broke through. Much because of many seasons destroyed by sickness and injuries, and she has finally found the recipe on how to succeed at championships and try to avoid the long sickness periods and that she has to try to follow the plan what is best for her even if she pointed out that she felt a bit guilty against the sport when she skips tour de ski and also a few other weekends.
  12. Skidskyttekampen, a single mixed event at Stockholm Olympic stadium with big parts of the top athletes tonight 18.00 CET https://www.svtplay.se/skidskyttekampen
  13. Her husband says we shouldnt be too sure about that
  14. She (and Ebba) should be very happy that it was the two best sprint finishers among the top-4 (at the moment, Karlsson catched Weng later) who fell, or I am not sure she would have medalled at al.
  15. Reigning world Champions Wranå/Wranå lost the Swedish qualifiers and the former world mixed doubles Champions Anna Hasselborg and Oskar Eriksson Will represent Sweden this year!
  16. Without the fall I think Sundling would have won, Weng 2nd and Andersson 3rd! but wow what a race!
  17. She is the Swedish lady with most WC wins in cross country, she was the sprint Queen and Olympic Champion and also one time biathlon world cup podium-finisher. Now it looks like the ski speed that she most often didnt find in biathlon is back. Stina Nilsson won the most traditional of cross country races, the 90 km long Vasaloppet by over 5 minutes! And 18 year old Alvar Myhlback, world junior champion last year but this year not selected to the team, becomes the youngest man to win in the 101 years history of the race.
  18. The 101st edition of the 90km long Vasaloppet is going on right now with 15800 skiiers. https://www.svt.se/sport/vintersport/vinterstudion-20242025-folj-sasongens-tavlingar-och-fa-senaste-nytt
  19. To start a music career and release a song the same day was obviously not a distraction
  20. 4th consecutive global championship sprint gold for Jonna and 6th for Johannes! Jonna really saved what could have been a nightmare dat for Sweden. also actually the First ever medal for Skistad. Great day for the sport too with 5 nations sharing the 6 medals.
  21. 16,23 seconds behind is enough to qualify! Still think that Skistad will win. Svahn would have been the best contender on this course. In the qualification Sundling can benefit from her higher capacity in the uphill but in the heats when the uphill is in the beginning of the course, it will be enough time for Skistad to glide back in to the top and win on better speed in the final sprint.
  22. Might be a record in time difference enough to qualify?
  23. Concussion. And she has already missed out on most of the season and was finally back in top shape in Falun and then this
  24. She is cursed! Never been in a championship without problems. could be a loss of 3 swedish golds, I had her as the best swedish chance in the sprint, and the relay and team sprint will be weaker now. Also Valnes crashed and miss at least the sprint
