Among the sports that are getting a real boost are table tennis and shooting.

Come along inside the new state-of-the-art arena and hear more about how it will be paid for in the clip.
Unclear how the budget will come together
In total, the construction has cost SEK 22.5 million, compared to the budgeted SEK 20 million, but there is more to worry about.
On the one hand, they have not received the contributions they had hoped for, including from the General Heritage Fund, and on the other hand, both the interest rate and electricity prices are significantly higher than when the construction was planned.
- It is very worrying.
We'll see if it works out, says Bengt Engborg.
At the same time, he is proud of the new opportunities that the arena construction gives the residents of Storfors.
- Nothing is certain in today's situation.
Sometimes you have to take a little chance, he says.
