Marie Lehmann is one of the debutants in this year's "På spåret" which starts on Friday, October 24. She has previously been considered for a special episode of the program, but then said no.
That episode never happened - now the question came again. Then the answer was different.
One "safears" so much through life. But what are you afraid of, I thought. I want to be involved, I think it seems fun, she says.
Sport pair
Marie Lehmann forms a pair with Jonas Dahlquist, also a well-known sports reporter, at HBO Max. They may seem to have a similar background, but complement each other in the game.
Jonas is good at a lot of things. And he is extremely good at one thing that I don't know anything about and that's music.
Marie Lehmann went thoroughly to prepare herself for "På spåret". Among other things, she took help from new technology to learn those typical Gothenburg puns that usually are part of the clues.
My kids helped me get AI to construct "På spåret" questions.
How did it go then?
It didn't go so well. I want the questions to sound like in "På spåret". But AI was not quite with it. AI is not a man from Gothenburg, simply.
Been cowardly
Marie Lehmann has been a reporter and program leader on SVT-sporten since the mid-1990s and is a well-known face on the screen from major championships and competitions.
There are many profiles from the sports world who have moved on and become program leaders for broader TV ventures. Marie Lehmann says that there have been times when it has been relevant, but that other things have come in between.
I've been a bit cowardly there, too. Of course, I would have done it. But I haven't. So this will be a first step into the unknown, she says.
