Andrea Brodin and Cedric Notz arrived on Friday to Åre. Andrea tells at her blog that they would look at the Alpine championships, do some different events, meet different representatives from the unions, take pictures and document.
As soon as they arrived, they went straight to "Swiss House" which is Switzerland's own meeting point with food, entertainment, sponsors, Swiss food and even Swiss staff. Cedric, who has competed in slalom and giant slalom at the Olympic Games, was of course happy to meet everyone. In the evening they attended at an event with Skistar and Bode Miller.

Andrea Brodin gave yesterday morning at TV4 News morning advice how you shop smart at the flea markets in the summer.
 
The king and queen's friend Anki (Ann-Christine) Wallenberg, 68, died in a boat accident on Lake Geneva in Switzerland last Saturday.
Her brother Stefan Magnusson confirms it.
- She was out in a sailboat when it suddenly broke out a violent storm that overturned the boat that sank. Anki seems to be stuck in ropes, he says.
Margareta Thorgren said to Expressen:
- It's extremely tragic. The royal family is informed about the tragic accident.
For the royal family, Anki Wallenberg became an important contact when Princess Madeleine moved to London with her friend Louise Gottlieb. The two 19-year-old girls lived then at Anki's home for a period between 2001 and 2002.
Anki Wallenberg attended Madeleine and Chris's wedding in 2013.

Svensk Damtidning tells that Victoria's good friend Martina Liska, 42, has received a new position of responsibility. She becomes the new chairman of the board of the prestigious school Fredrikshovs Slotts Skola in Östermalm.
- That's right, says Maia Möller, the school's headmaster.
Martina herself says that she looks forward to the assignment as chairman of the board.
- It feels great to go in as chairman of the board in such a fantastic school as Fredrikshovs Slotts school. I am very honored about the trust and look forward with great joy to the assignment, says Martina to Svensk Damtidning.
Martina Liska is a trained economist and criminologist and works everyday at Arvid Wærner's Funeral Home in Stockholm. At the same time she runs her own company where she works with Act therapy. But she is now also investing in the children's school.
Martina and her husband Karl Liska have daughter Henrietta, who is six months younger than Estelle, and daughter Wilhelmina, one month younger than Oscar. Martina has also daughter Antonia, 13, from her previous marriage.

I did find strange the explanation that no member of the royal family "had the opportunity" to attend the funeral of a close friend, especially during the summertime.

Joakim Génetay, 45, is one of the royal family's closest friends. The other day he suffered a stroke at home in his flat in Umeå
- I collapsed on the floor but managed to get hold of my phone and then crawled to my front door, well aware that I had to unlock it to be able to get help quickly, says Joakim Génetey on his Facebook page.
He managed to retrieve his cellphone and called a colleague who called an ambulance. When the ambulance staff arrived, they began treatment before Joakim Génetay was rushed to hospital.
- I have now spent almost two days at the Stroke unit, cared for and nursed by wonderfully knowledgeable and friendly nurses, doctors and occupational therapists. There is a reason that Norrlands University Hospital is considered to be Sweden's best, he writes.
According to Allt om kungligt, the entire royal family is informed about the serious condition of the friend and when the message came they naturally became both sad and worried.
Joakim Génetay's father is Tim Génetay, 74, who since the 1960s has been a close friend of King Carl Gustaf. They studied at Uppsala University at the same time and have spent many holidays together. The king has, among other things, visited Tim in the exclusive ski resort Gstaad in Switzerland where he owns a chalet.
Joakim's late mother Agneta Génetay was also one of Queen Silvia's best friends before she passed away in 1985 in cancer. Joakim's sister Josephine Génetay, 42, is the goddaughter of Silvia and one of Crown Princess Victoria's best friends.
Tim Génetay is today married to his wife Kerstin and the couple lives in Vilan, a grand residence erected in 1792 a stone's throw from Drottningholm Palace.
Joakim Génetay, who is trained in the military and captain of the army, works as an extremely successful consultant in management and public affairs in Sweden but also internationally. He is also a great animal lover and partner in a veterinary clinic.
- Yesterday my beloved big brother came here and tomorrow my beloved future wife comes here from London. In a few days I will be discharged and receive care and rehabilitation at home, Joakim Génetay says.
Joakim's wedding is scheduled for August 24, but now the question is whether the ceremony will take place or be postponed due to his serious illness.

Lee Lewenhaupt, the widow of king Carl Gustaf's friend count Carl Adam "Noppe" Lewenhaupt, has told to Gala Magazine (quoted by Expressen) that she is ready to start dating again and that Noppe wouldn't have wanted her to live the rest of her life alone.
She told also that her son Leonard Johansson (31) and his girlfriend Linnea Taube (29) are getting married in September. They got engaged in January in Thailand.
Lee says that the family is charging for the wedding and that there can be anything between traditional church wedding and "Jurassic Park" style wedding. And she hopes that there she will have grandchildren soon.
- The wedding will take place on September 28 at Steninge Castle and it will be great fun. They are so cute together.

Linnea Taube is the daughter of king Carl Gustaf and queen Silvia's friends baron Per Taube and baroness Åsa Taube. The king and queen were seen in a yacht in St. Tropez in the beginning of July with Per and Åsa Taube and the happy couple Linnea and Leonard. Per Taube owns Steninge Castle. Linnea and Leonard are living at Taube family estate in Steninge.

King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia have lost a dear friend. Egon Zimmermann, who has been close to the King since the 1980s, has passed away.
The royal couple have always had a close circle of friends they could trust in all situations. Loyal. Discreet.
But now they have lost another friend from the circle. Egon Zimmermann. The former alpine skier was previously married to Silvia's girlfriend Charlotte Klingspor and became a close friend of the King. Egon was present when the king celebrated his 70th birthday, and became one of those who witnessed Carl Gustaf playing electric guitar in the Palace halls in the middle of the night. But he was also present when the Queen was involved in a skiing accident in Klosters in 2015, when Silvia was so badly injured that she was forced to have an emergency operation in Davos.
But now the royal friend has passed away. Austrian Egon Zimmermann turned 80, and managed to achieve a number of fantastic things during his life and as a skier, with the Olympic gold on downhill as the crown of his career.
Egon was born in Lech and always dreamed of a life on the slopes, but was forced to acquire a "real" profession and therefore trained as a chef in Paris.
As an 18-year-old he resumed skiing and became a big star. He his love for Lech stayed, and for example he owned a hotel in the alpine village, a hotel he operated for several years with his Swedish wife.
He married Swedish Charlotte Klingspor in 1981, a friend of the king since school and one of Queen Silvia's best friends.
Egon, Charlotte, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia often went skiing together, and the skiing legend has previously commented on the King's skiing.
"He is a good skier", Zimmermann said of Carl Gustaf to Svenska Dagbladet in 2004.
Even after the divorce from Charlotte, Egon remained one of the king's close friends, and they always shared the love of the alpine peaks. But Egon Zimmermann was affected by the disease MS. On Friday, August 23, he passed away, and is now mourned by his loved ones.

The King has lost four close friends in just four months. Most recently Egon Zimmermann, who was part of the royal couple's circle of friends for more than 40 years.
- The king became sad when he was told. He thinks of Egon's family and close relatives, says Margareta Thorgren.

The stroke is too serious.
Now the royal family's friend Joakim Génetay is forced to cancel his grand wedding party. Instead, he and his fiancée get married in front of their immediate family.
On August 24, Joakim Génetay, 45, and his British fiancée should have gotten married at Ekerö in front of family, good friends and acquaintances.
However, there will not be a lavish wedding. The royal family's close friend was recently hit by a stroke in his home in Umeå and now plans have to be changed.
- It is clear that there will be no big wedding with royals and other dignitaries. On the other hand, Joakim and his fiancée will get married but then it only happens in the circle of the family and the closest. There will be about twenty people instead of the lavish wedding that was originally planned, says Allt om kungligt's source
It may be that the couple is planning to have a bigger party later when Joakim Génetay has recovered from the serious streak.

As told at the previous post, Joakim Génetay got married with his british girlfriend Shanna Fraser at a smaller wedding than it was originally planned. Behind the happy couple we see Joakim's sister, Victoria's friend Josephine Zapata Génetay.
The wedding ceremony was held in Lovö church on Ekerö and thereafter it was a lunch reception in Joakim Génetay's father's home, Vilan, which is near Drottningholm Palace.
About twenty relatives enjoyed a nice lunch but the event was dimmed without any speeches. An hired string quartet played in one of the lounges for the drinks, but otherwise there was no entertainment for lunch where pigeons with citrus potatoes and honey were served.

Did you know this about Victoria's unknown friend?
H&M daughter Charlotte Söderström is extremely concerned about her private life - but sometimes she offers a glimpse of her life with the family and all the horses.
She is Sweden's fifth richest woman, sister to H&M's CEO Karl-Johan Persson and of course in the circle around Crown Princess Victoria. But Charlotte Söderström, 42, prefers to stay in the background and put the gun on her horses.
Charlotte, who runs Stuteri Arch in Båstad with her mother Pamela Collett, is the woman behind half of the star horses in the Swedish National Equestrian team - not least Peder Fredrickson's gold medal horse All In. It is also in her role as a horse owner that she has arranged for an interview in Dagens Nyheter.
But does she ride her top horses herself, no she actually does not:
- I'm happy to pat them!
Charlotte is 42, and has three children with her husband Martin "HP" Söderström (who was a schoolmate with Crown Princess Victoria in Enskilda Gymnasiet).
When Charlotte describes herself in DN, you get a little picture of a mother hen. Anyone who happens to call her a little unexpected must always start the conversation by saying that everything is okay with the kids and the horses.
- It's kind of like when the kids were young and they called from preschool. If they didn't start by saying that the kids were fine, I didn't hear a word of what they said.
Charlotte Söderström always looks for promising young horses and often sits on the stands when there are big equestrian races. She also works with H & M's sponsorship.

Svenska Dagbladet's Perfect Guide has interviewed Peter "Foppa" Forsberg when he was in Philadelpia.
Here, too, the famous competition temperament emerges. A winning instinct that resulted in two Olympic golds, two World Cup golds, two Stanley Cup wins and now an investor career stretching from an international shoe company to a Swedish watch brand.
- I can be half-hearted in business if someone does something questionable legally, he says. As if someone was stealing a deal in front of his nose. But as a player I was more aggressive because everything was so black and white. You won or lost. After all, business is about getting both parties happy.
Two hours earlier, he walked through the Philadelphia Flyers' home arena. In the parking lot, a bunch of hockey fans raise their eyes from the gas grill, knocking out their arms and shouting "FORSBERG!" Down in the catacombs, a caretaker with the mop in the bucket stops, suddenly gets a glimpse of Foppa and gives Forsberg a hug. Outside the dressing room, a coach exclaims “Godfather!” And takes the Swede in his arms. Although Forsberg only played under two seasons in the Philadelphia Flyers, he was treated like a legend. When the Gritty mascot enters with a TV team in the box, the audience cheers louder than when the home team enters.
Peter Forsberg himself sits with his hand in a popcorn bowl and philosophizes on his entrepreneurial philosophy.
- Those I go into business with must have the same passion as myself. If you played hockey with someone who didn't want to cover shots with the skull, it was not good. There must be the same passion.
In 2018, he joined as co-owner of the Swedish watch brand Carl Edmond, founded by Stockholm-based entrepreneur Ali Nouri 2017.
With 13 NHL seasons and a place in the Hockey Hall of Fame, Peter Forsberg is one of the greatest Swedish sports icons of all time. Growing up in Örnsköldsvik, ice hockey became a way to be able to be yourself.
- Outside the rink, I was incredibly shy and didn't dare say anything. But on the ice there were clear rules to follow and I understood how things worked. There I got an outlet for my feelings. Hockey has helped me a lot. Just having a safe place where you feel you belong.
Many big sports stars find it difficult to find their identity after the career. For Peter Forsberg - who, as an active player, started investing in real estate and importing a new kind of rubber boats that were nicknamed Foppa Slippers - the transition was easier.
- I got involved in activities outside the hockey ten years before I stopped playing. But when I temporarily quit in 2001, I felt it. I was home all year and it was depressing. It was hard to walk the streets of Denver and meet people. I could play, but didn't. I understand those who get it a little difficult in their everyday lives when they leave.
When the career ended in 2011, Peter Forsberg sat in the school bench.
- I went to a so-called MDA - a management and financial education for athletes who will start their new lives. It was good, not just for the education, but for getting a sense of belonging and not being alone in that.
In the fall 2018, Peter Forsberg moved with his family to Switzerland. The shoe brand Inuikii is headquartered in Zurich and together with fiance Nicole Nordin he is a co-owner and partner. He describes a cautious attitude in business.
- I can't go back and play hockey. When the career is over, the money stops coming. I won't end up on the street. But then we have a real estate company as a safe investment, so we have been able to take some risks with startups.
Peter Forsberg sits on the bus north. He wonders if, in his quest to constantly improve, he may have been tough on himself.
- I never thought I was good. I never watched videos with myself and thought I was good. I was good in two games in my career. "God how good I was today" I had never been able to say.
