A versatile sportswoman
The Crown Prince and Crown Princess happily participated in sporting events. They also provided support to sports clubs and organizations, including the 1912 Olympiad in Stockholm. Their interest in popular sports coincided with the fact that sport became increasingly organized and with an increased understanding of the importance of sport for public health.
The Crown Princess herself practiced a number of sports such as tennis, horse riding and golf. In 1908, she founded Sweden's first female bandy team (then called hockey): Kronprinsessans Hockeyklubb (The Crown Princess' Hockey Club). The team got followers and soon there was a league with six teams who all trained twice a week. In the film, the team plays at Stockholm's stadium, with the Crown Princess as forward and Gustaf Adolf as spectator.
