Svenska sportklassiker
 1000 known and unknown moments from 1912 to today (2016)
 
 Sweden is a sports-mad nation. The national football and hockey team attracts many millions of spectators to the TV couches. Few topics - except for the weather - are more common in a conversation than sports. Sports geeks can count in the hundreds of thousands - yes, maybe millions. 
 So far, Sweden has lacked a masterpiece of classic sporting events where all sports coexist. Swedish sports classics have all the prerequisites to change that. The book is as much a nostalgia trip as modern sports history and depicts a thousand Swedish sports classics, large and small, successes and failures, high and low.
 Staffan Tapper's penalty against Poland in 1974, Bernt Johansson's cycling triumph, Jan Boklöv's v-style and Toini Gustafsson's double Olympic gold, Annika Sörenstam's golf dominance and Zlatan Ibrahimovic's art goals are obvious elements. More unexpected texts are about Hans Alsér's ping pong racket, the first table hockey game, the comic book Buster and Bengt "Cidden" Andersson's collection of poems The whole ball should lie still. All with a connection to the world of Swedish sports.
