The places are extremely attractive.

Some attend national sports high school (RIG), others nationally approved sports education (NIU).

Common is that many students are only 15 or 16 years old when they move far from home.

It is a big change to live on your own or in a boarding school, cook and wash yourself, train six days a week and study hard.  

The Swedish Sports High School for water skiing and wakeboarding in Fagersta was for 20 years one of all these sports high schools.

Here, EC and WC medalists were educated.

But in August last year, the education was closed with immediate effect.

The students' safety could not be ensured.  

What just happened?  

For several months, SVT Sports' reporters, Therese Bosta and Viktoria Berggren, have examined a school environment that turned out to contain sexism, bullying and harassment.

Misconduct that lasted for almost 20 years - without responsible adults putting a stop to it.  

You can see the entire review in the program "In deep water" which is on SVT Play and which is broadcast on SVT1 on 12 June.

Elements from the program will also be published on svtsport.se, in Sportnytt and in Sportspegeln.  

Over the past year, we at SVT Sport have worked actively and purposefully to develop the work with in-depth journalism and reviews.

The work is led by our news director Johanna Bäckström Lerneby, who for almost 20 years has worked with investigative journalism for various media, including SVT's Assignment Review.

Johanna is also a producer for the program about the sports high school in Fagersta.   

Several of our reviews have received national attention.

We have done a series and a program about match fixing, had a series of revelations in ice hockey, figure skating, skiing and motorsport.

In addition, we did a major review of how sports were affected during the Corona pandemic.

This summer, another initiative will be made in collaboration with Assignment Review and during the autumn even more.  

What do you want us to review?

Tip us via sporten-granskning@svt.se or get in touch with news director Johanna Bäckström Lerneby.  

Have you been to a sports high school yourself and have a story you want to share with us?

Contact our reporter Therese Bosta.  

And do not miss "In deep water".

Especially not if you yourself go to a sports high school or have a child who dreams of combining an elite investment in sports with studies.
