Sportscast
BY
Sara Sjölin

In Sjölin’s first Sportscast, Sweden meets Switzerland during the World Cup in football 2018. As a dual citizen, Sjölin felt entitled to provide the game with an alternative commentary track, but the lack of interest in the sport allows Sjölin to go off track with anecdotes from her childhood, which alternates between humor and seriousness.
