Why It Matters

The article summarizes several short sports news from various fields such as football, tennis, skiing and hockey, focusing on coaching changes, matches and individual performances.

1) The coaching change.

Last year, Mjällby's Karl Marius Aksum was an assistant coach who loved to talk about his own importance and excellence. This year he was mainly responsible for a crashed champion. This week he had to go.

In the organization was Anders Torstensson. The golden coach has jumped in and saved the club in crisis before. The fact that Torstensson did NOT become the new head coach was a major blow in the deal. It was Andreas Brännström instead, he is now doing his second turn at the club.

2) The night mangling.

It was 3:33 a.m. local time when Ben Shelton won the record late US Open match against Carlos Alcaraz.

3) The tennis bot.

Argentine Luisina Giovannini was fined the equivalent of 190,000 for breaking a match in the US Open after just 17 minutes.

4) The history of tennis.

For the first time in 150 years, the year's four biggest tournaments have been played without anyone with a one-handed backhand reaching the semi-finals.

5) The soccer quote.

"After this announcement, I started crying in the executive room." BK Häcken's Elena Sadiku after being nominated for the Ballon d'Or coaching award. Man City's Swedish Andrée Jeglertz is also nominated.

6) The training pair.

Under the personal trainer Ola Ravald, Linn Svahn and Edvin Anger form an exciting training duo and in Expressen the riders say:

7) The ski quotes.

"Linn is extremely serious, takes everything very seriously and is very progressive. It's driving for me to be around her." Indicates about Svahn.

"It's not a dick measurement in his training. And that's a strength to have. Then you rarely get lost." Svahn about Anger.

8) The ski listing.

Friend of order nevertheless states that Anger lost his way in his training before the Olympics.

9) The hockey start.

The hockey season is on. The highest women's series started this week. Finally.

10) The hockey star.

For Sidney Crosby, age is just a number. The 39-year-old aims to play until 2028, at least.

11) JO notification.

The supporter organization SFSU JO reports to the police region West after supporter groups were classified as criminal networks. The report feels like Don Quixote's fight against the windmills.

This week I am looking forward to:

Wednesday 16 September: Graham Potter names his first squad after the World Cup.
