Stockholm/Åre or Milan/Cortina? Ullenhag or Sabuni? Two make-or-break decisions dominating the news in Sweden this week.

We speak to the mayor of Åre who cried when it was announced that the Winter Olympics for 2026 would not go to Sweden. This was the 11th Olympic bid that the town has lost. Only one person is left in the leadership race for the Liberal Party. How will electing Nyamko Sabuni change the party and the Swedish political landscape? Plus: a landmark ruling that could change the use of social media platforms; the new, extended smoking ban that could change the scene in many outdoor cafés and restaurants; and Sweden is through to the quarter finals in the women's World Cup - we look ahead to this weekend's football game.
