Final update from the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics Final update from the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics. Wrapping it up with images from what, together with the men’s hockey final, became the true highlights for me. The hockey delivered intensity and atmosphere at the highest level. But the Figure Skating Exhibition Gala was my photographic favorite. Taking a few days off now before we go again. This time on home soil #bildbyran #bildbyrån
Men’s Olympic Hockey Final between Canada and the Men’s Olympic Hockey Final between Canada and the USA, my final event of these Games. An intense battle from start to finish, with USA’s goaltending proving decisive when it mattered most. Even if nothing went according to plan for me image-wise, it was an incredible game to experience and a fitting way to close out the Olympics #bildbyrån #bildbyran

Day 14, I think. Speed skating day! Men’s team pur Day 14, I think. Speed skating day! Men’s team pursuit and the women’s 500m. Was this the last walk out to Milano Speed Skating Stadium? #bildbyrån #bildbyran
Last group stage game for the Swedish men in the O Last group stage game for the Swedish men in the Olympic hockey tournament. It looked like a direct ticket to the quarterfinals was within reach, but with just a couple of minutes left, Slovakia pulled one back and pushed Sweden down to the qualification round instead. Wrapped up the day with the men’s 500m speed skating, and by now we all know what a visit to the Milano Speed Skating Stadium means; At least 3,500 extra steps on the counter. #bildbyrån #bildbyran
Day… I’m not sure at the moment. Hockey, figure sk Day… I’m not sure at the moment. Hockey, figure skating and speed skating on the schedule. What was supposed to be Ilia Malinin’s big Olympic moment ended in two falls. Sweden also came up short against Finland in the men’s hockey tournament. At the speed skating arena, at least, no one hit the ice while I was there. #bildbyrån #bildbyran

The beginning of the Olympics means press conferen The beginning of the Olympics means press conferences where you get about one minute to do your thing Sometimes it also means an hour of transport just to photograph an athlete walking from one door to another before you’re asked to leave again You have to take the chance when it presents itself #bildbyrån #bildbyran
