Lennart Jähkel's Enchanting Encounter with Ingemar Stenmark
Sparks fly when Lennart Jähkel recounts his meeting with Ove Sundberg in Sommar i P1. Anna Gullberg wishes she could live next door to the Pistvakt legend.
Lennart Jähkel is so pleasant to listen to that he could talk about anything. And he does.
In classic summer talk fashion, he shares a bit of childhood, school days, acting memories, and music he loves. It's a summer talk perfect for multitasking—enhancing the time without demanding full attention.
I wish he were my neighbor, so we could meet over the hedge and he could philosophize about life while we pull weeds.
He recounts spending seven hours with Ingemar Stenmark, saying just one word: "Yes."
Slightly awkward, yet warm and funny. With an eye and ear for what's happening around him. Sharp. He describes himself as "slow-wittedly funny," but his humility doesn't ring false in the slightest.
Afterward, I try to remember what I heard. Anything more than it being mildly amusing and quite well-crafted? I fail.
Oh, one thing. The anecdote about the principal Ove Sundberg in Timrå, and the passion with which Jähkel describes discovering Led Zeppelin.
Then it doesn't just simmer, it truly ignites.
