Sportlovsvecka
If you are living in Sweden and have a kid, or if you are studying yourself, you already know this. But otherwise you might not, so here we go.
This week is what is known as sportlov or sportlovsveckan (in Stockholm, every region has their own)
- Sport = Sport
- Lov = Permission / Leave
- Vecka = Week
This does not mean this is the only week when you have permission to do sports of course. It is a week when students have “lov” (leave AKA holidays), and the main argument behind it is to go do sports.
Not just any kinds of sports, winter sports of course! Sportlovsveckan should be by definition, the coldest week of the year. Which normally means that there is lots of snow all over the place. Making it troublesome to go to school. And the perfect opportunity to do some skiing, pulka, or whatever sport you enjoy.
Not that much snow this year though.
