Whatever happened to Kim Kallstrom?
Kim Kallstrom's short spell in north London is remembered for his broken back and one kick of a ball. Over a decade later, he is shaping the future of Swedish football. Photo byFew signings in Arsenal's modern era have been as infamous as Kim Kallstrom's move. Brought in on loan from Spartak Moscow in January 2014, the Sweden international arrived with a fractured vertebra sustained during a beach football session at a Spartak training camp. Arsène Wenger, dealing with an injury crisis and no time for alternatives, pushed through a cheap deal knowing the midfielder would be unavailable for six weeks. 'It crossed my mind to not do the deal,' Wenger later admitted. 'I wouldn't have signed him if we had another two or three days, but it was on Friday at 5pm.' Photo byKallstrom made only four Arsenal appearances but earned cult status for one moment: a perfectly struck penalty in the FA Cup semi-final shootout against Wigan Athletic, a kick that helped send Arsenal to their first FA Cup final in nine years. For a player who described his brief stint as 'walking in, hitting the penalty, winning a trophy and walking out again', that contribution secured an unlikely place in Arsenal folklore. After returning to Spartak, Kallstrom spent time with Grasshopper and finished his career at Djurgårdens IF, retiring in 2017 with 131 caps for Sweden, an FA Cup, three French league titles, two French Cups, two Swedish league titles, a Swedish Cup and a reputation as one of his country's most gifted midfielders. Retirement did not take him far from the game. After a period as a stay-at-home parent while his wife attended medical school, Kallstrom completed UEFA's Executive Master for International Players, preparing him for senior football administration. Photo by Nils Petter Nilsson/Ombrello/Getty Images At the end of 2023, he was appointed as Head of Football at the Swedish Football Association, overseeing national teams and development strategies. It is a role he has embraced. Speaking recently after Viktor Gyökeres's Swedish record-breaking transfer to Arsenal, Kallstrom said: 'When they take the step to bigger clubs, it not only strengthens their own careers but also the national team for the upcoming World Cup qualification and in the long term. Photo by Yong'Swedish players have long been highly valued internationally. They are well trained, physically strong and tactically skilled. The fact that our clubs succeed in fostering so many talents is a result of long-term work and that we have built up good conditions in Swedish football.' Kallstrom also praised the financial boost Gyökeres's move will deliver to grassroots football through solidarity payments, highlighting how even a modest Stockholm club such as IFK Aspudden-Tellus will double its annual revenue thanks to its early role in the striker's development. 'Money comes back to the grassroots. It has great value, it is very important,' he said. From that one, improbable penalty at Wembley to shaping the future of Swedish football, Kallstrom's career has come full circle. Once a short-term emergency signing with a broken back, he is now one of the most influential voices in his country's game, focused on building a sustainable pipeline of talent capable of succeeding at the highest level.

Yamashita struggles and sees her Women's British Open lead shrink to 1 shot over Kim
Associated Press PORTHCAWL, Wales (AP) — Miyu Yamashita was crooked off the tee and struggled on the greens, a rough combination that led to a hard-fought round of 2-over 74 on Saturday that shrunk her lead to one shot over A Lim Kim in the Women's British Open. Yamashita, who led by three shots going into the third round, did not hit a fairway over the last 11 holes and still managed to stay in front at Royal Porthcawl, though it wasn't easy. She was on the verge of losing the lead on the 17th when she blasted out of a pot bunker all the way across the green to the fringe, some 40 feet away. She holed that putt for par, and then missed a birdie chance from just inside 6 feet on the par-5 closing hole. That put Yamashita — who turned 24 on Saturday — at 9-under 207. 'Today I'll be just looking at what went wrong and what went right and analyzing the day and make the improvements that hopefully will lead to a better round tomorrow,' Yamashita said. Kim put on a fabulous display as the wind got stronger with a 5-under 67. She had a chance to tie for the lead when she hit a 335-yard drive on the 18th hole with a helping wind and fast links turf. She went just long, used her putter from off the green and took three putts for par. Even so, it puts her in the final group with Yamashita as Lim goes for her second major, having won the U.S. Women's Open in 2020 in Houston without fans during the COVID-19 pandemic. 'Honestly I'm not focused on the leader. I focus on my process and my shot and then my position,' Kim said. And it's not just Kim with a chance. Yamashita's struggles brought several possibilities in the final round, including the always entertaining Charley Hull of England. She shot a 66, going from 11 shots behind to within three shots of the lead as Hull goes for her first major. 'I just kind of enjoy chasing,' Hull said of playing from behind. 'It's more fun that way.' Andrea Lee had a 67 and was two shots behind, followed by Hull, Megan Khang (68), Rio Takeda (74) and Minami Katsu, whose 65 matched the low score of the tournament. 'I think there will be a little bit of extra pressure on whoever is the 54-hole leader,' Lee said. 'Tomorrow is going to be pretty tough. Anything can happen out there. I think anyone within five shots has a chance at this championship honestly, so I'm just going to try and keep my head down and stick to my own game plan and try not to look at the leaderboard.' The Women's British Open had the look of a Japanese duel, with Yamashita three shots ahead of Takeda and no one else closer than seven shots. But it was a struggle for Yamashita early with her putting, and then one of the straightest drivers lost her way. She steadied herself with an approach — from the rough, of course — into 3 feet for birdie on No. 11, and a tee shot that settled 3 feet away for another birdie on the par-3 12th. But playing out of the fescue caught up with her, and except for that 40-foot par putt on the 17th to keep her in the lead, it was a struggle to get done with the round. Takeda wasn't much better, with two bogeys in four holes at the start and two more bogeys over the final five holes. Lottie Woad, the rising English star who won last week in her professional debut, birdied the last hole for a 71 and wound up six shots behind. Nelly Korda, the No. 1 player in women's golf, is likely to end the major championship season without a title. She shot 74 and fell nine shots behind. Korda has gone 13 tournaments without winning and risks losing her No. 1 ranking to Jeeno Thitikul depending on the final round. The LPGA Tour already is off to a historic start by not having a multiple winner through 19 tournaments, a streak that could continue. Only Kim and Takeda from the top 10 on the leaderboard have won this year. ___ AP golf:
