    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.

  • Curling: VM-Premiär För Lag Hasselborg Idag Lördag
    Skip Anna Hasselborg vid OS i Sydkorea 2018. Foto: © WCF Richard Gray. 2018-03-17 12:09 CET Curling: VM-premiär för lag Hasselborg idag lördag För knappt tre veckor blev lag Hasselborg olympiska mästare. Nu väntar nästa stora mästerskap för Anna Hasselborg, Sara McManus, Agnes Knochenhauer, Sofia Mabergs, Jennie Wåhlin och coach Maria Prytz. VM i North Bay, Kanada startar idag lördag och med svensk premiärmatch mot Danmark. Curling.se träffade Agnes Knochenhauer några dagar innan avresan mot VM i Kanada – Vi har haft drygt två veckor hemma efter OS-guldet. Första veckan var det mycket media och andra uppdrag men även prioritet på att vila. Nu laddar vi batterierna med tid för våra familjer och genom att vara tillbaka i träning. När vi är på plats i Kanada blir det fullt fokus mot VM och det ska bli roligt att tävla igen, säger Agnes. Nyblivna olympiska mästare, favoriter och siktet inställt på medalj även i VM – Vi har ju ingen VM-medalj så det är inget snack om vad vi går för. Men som vanligt är det många tuffa lag att möta och viktigt att vi lyckas ställa om och fokusera, säger Agnes. Curling är en av världens snabbast växande vintersporter. Det återspeglas också i VM som fr.o.m i år utökas från 12 till 13 länder. Antalet speldagar är detsamma men nu väntar 12 matcher i grundserien och sedan två eller tre matcher i slutspelet. – Det är en riktigt lång turnering med många matcher så vi måste fortsätta med att vara noggranna och ha en bra planering för att hinna ladda om mellan alla matcher, säger Agnes.

  • 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.
