SVT Sport has shown that misconduct occurs in several sports through several reviews in recent years.

A few months ago, a former elite gymnast appeared and told about threats and violations in rhythmic gymnastics.

And last week, SVT Sport was able to tell about a survey conducted by Swedish swimming where 25 of 32 coaches with experience of the national team testified about a culture of silence and lack of leadership.

When SVT Sport met Minister of Sports Anders Ygeman (S) at the beginning of the summer, he was asked whether the review of sports is sufficient, given what SVT Sports' reviews have shown.

- No, obviously not, because we have seen these irregularities in a number of sports.

There, sports have a homework lesson.

You come to sports to feel good and have fun and instead you get tormented and start to feel bad and get sick.

The sports movement must take a much stronger grip on this, says Ygeman.

Kristersson: "Big and important thing"

What grips are you referring to then?

- It is about not pushing training, competition and food to such a level that it hurts the practitioners.

Without having to put the well-being of practitioners first.

The Moderates' party leader says that the work of counteracting misconduct in sports is important because it often affects children and young people.

- It is good that it is noticed, but it is a pity that it needs attention.

It takes a lot more of leadership training, to discover people who are in the sport for the wrong reasons.

It is a big and important thing, but I feel that sports take it very seriously, he says.

Leadership culture from the east an explanation

When asked how Sweden should work to solve the problems, Ygeman answers that an important first step is to bring the problems to the surface.

- I think the reviews you have done are a very important first step.

That we address the problem, that we talk about it and that leaders themselves reason about how we behave and how we make children thrive and develop in these sports without creating agitation and exclusion.

He believes that old cultures and influences from nations in the east are some of the explanations for the mismanagement that exists in Sweden.

- There they have had a different view of leadership than we have traditionally seen in the West.

And then it has unfortunately been the case that at the elite level it has paid off with unhealthy behavior and therefore not enough has been done to curb this.

Is there no fear then that Sweden will get worse if you remove the "tough" leadership style?

- I think Sweden will be better because more people will practice their sports longer, more talents will emerge and not be knocked out.
