  • Press Release (12/20/2005)
    PRESS RELEASE 7 March 2012 Vattenfall sponsors future Olympians In a unique collaboration, Vattenfall and the Swedish Olympic Committee (SOC) are working together to increase the number of medals in future Olympic Games. Today, Wednesday, Vattenfall and SOC presented the eight Olympic athletes and 33 promising talents who will be receiving sponsorship over the next few years. This is a unique partnership focusing on long- term commitment. “Our partnership unites the National Olympic Committees in all our core markets – Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands. Its starting-point is local collaboration in our core markets and it opens the way to a European platform,” says Elisabeth Ström, Head of Communications at Vattenfall. Vattenfall’s and SOC’s partnership includes Team Vattenfall which consists of eight athletes in winter and summer sports, and Olympic Talent Support Vattenfall, which supports 33 promising talents on their way to Olympic Games and World Cup medals. Thanks to Vattenfall’s sponsorship, young promising athletes are given the opportunity to devote themselves fully to their sport and develop into future Olympians. Two promising sportspeople – Johan Eurén, wrestling, and Therese Lundqvist, shooting – are included in the Vattenfall talent programme. Team Vattenfall includes Anette Norberg, curling, Anna Holmlund, ski cross, Frida Svensson, rowing, Rolf- Göran Bengtsson, equestrian, Fredrik Lööf, sailing, Lisa Nordén, triathlon, Charlotte Kalla, cross country skiing and André Myhrer, alpine skiing. “What Vattenfall is doing is unique. No other company has got involved in this type of partnership. It provides direct financial support to each individual, but also means a long-term investment, not just in established athletes, but also an investment in young talent that will win medals in future years,” says Stefan Lindeberg, SOC Chairman.

  • Nordic Cooperation on Civil Security: the ‘Haga’ Process 2009-2014
    This study is the result of the fi rst detailed research project to 2009-2014 process The ‘Haga’ Security: onCivil Cooperation Nordic examine the progress of the ‘Haga’ non-military security coope- ration between the fi ve Nordic states since 2009. It reviews the history of Nordic cross-border cooperation on civil emergency preparedness and management, and discusses why Nordic Ministers chose to raise this work to high political level with a meeting at Haga (near Stockholm) in 2009. Since then, regular meetings at Ministerial and working levels have looked at a whole range of shared Nordic challenges, from search and rescue, to informing the public and the role of volunteers. They have sought cost-effective solutions for pooling Nordic resources and making their territories a truly ‘frontier-free’ area in this context. But what has actually been achieved? Based on extensive practitioner interviews, the two authors of this report stress the practical and political timeliness of ‘Haga’ cooperation, but also question whether it has yet become comprehensive and far-reaching enough to overcome the real obstacles existing even between close Nordic neighbours. They also assess the inter-relationship of Haga with EU efforts, Nordic-Baltic and Baltic regional relation- ships, and Arctic security-related cooperation in the relevant fi elds. This report is a joint publication by the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) and Centre for Small State Studies (CSSS) at the University of Iceland.

  • Kravanalys - I Ett Olympiskt Medaljperspektiv
    Kravanalys - i ett olympiskt medaljperspektiv Freeskiing - slopestyle skidor Författare: Patric Nyberg Datum: 2014-06-19 Övergripande innehåll: • Beskrivning av den egna grenen • Nyckelfaktorer/kvaliteter för framgång • Internationell omvärlds- & kapacitetsanalys • Nationell kapacitetsprofil; individer & lag • Uppföljningsprogram: tester & utvärdering; hur?, när? • Framtida utveckling: prognos & möjligheter 1-2 olympiader framåt Inledning Skidåkning i park har sedan den officiella upptakten i slutet av 1990-talet genomgått en omfattande begreppsförvirring. Istället för Freestyle har namnen New School, Freeride, Twin Tip och Jibb används för att förklara företeelsen. Begreppen handlar efter ordningsföljden om något nytt, något fritt, skidans utformning och att åka slarvigt/svårdefinierat eller att visa motstånd. Idag heter sporten Freeskiing. Begreppet Freeskiing syftar som det låter på fri skidåkning och tävlingar genomförs med stor hänsyn till den frihetliga principen. En del av sportens rötter härstammar från Freestyle och dess grenar Aerials (hopp) och Moguls (puckelpist) samt tidigare Acro Ski (skidbalett). Ytterligare en del härstammar från snowboardåkning där tävlingar idag hålls i likadana eller liknande tävlingsarenor som för Freeskiing. En viktig punkt som skiljer Freeskiing från Freestyle och för det närmare snowboard är bedömd åkning och framför allt rotationer åt två håll. Detta utgör en konkret del av bedömningsgrunden där variation och progression omöjliggör en förbestämd högst poäng. Tävlingsgrenarna inom Freeskiing inbegriper inom parkskidåkning Big Air, Halfpipe och Slopestyle. I en större kontext omfattas också Big Mountain (storabergsåkning) och andra, mindre tävlingsformat. Av nämnda grenar är Halfpipe och Slopestyle discipliner i de Olympiska Spelen sedan den 22:a upplagan i Sotji, Ryssland. I dagsläget förs en diskussion inom den Internationella Olympiska Kommittén, IOK och det Internationella Skidförbundet, FIS att inkludera Big Air i nästkommande OS 2018 i Peyongchang, Sydkorea.
