The documentary about Börje and Bianca Salming was released a few days ago.
A series that was difficult for her to record, Bianca tells in a message to her late father.
“It’s still about you and me, but not in the way I wanted,” she writes on Instagram.
The filming of the documentary about Bianca Salming and Börje Salming began to follow Bianca’s sports career and her path to learn more about her father. The series “Salminggenen” began to be recorded in the fall of 2021. Shortly thereafter, Börje Salming was diagnosed with ALS.
Börje and Bianca
Just over a year later, Börje died as a result of the disease. The documentary thus took a sudden turn and the end result was something other than what anyone had imagined from the beginning. The recording ended in September 2023, and Salminggenen was released in the days on SVT Play.

Now Bianca Salming talks about the difficulties during the recording of the documentary.
“I’ve had a hard time finishing this, or looking at all of this without feeling like I’m going to break from missing inside. But I feel a relief now, that with the help of everyone around me, that I completed it,” writes the athlete on his Instagram.
Nice words
Bianca writes further, in a message to Börje.
“A documentary that you and I, father, started making together, where I would find out everything you’ve been through in your life while we would get to follow me and my career. It would be a documentary about you and me, who you are as a father and who I am as a daughter. How you were my best friend and how I somehow wanted to figure out how to be exactly like you one day. It’s still about you and me, but not in the way I wanted.”

In the series, you can accompany Bianca to the athletics European Championships in Munich and her decision to change from all-around to high jump. Other people who appear in the documentary include Börje’s sons as well as Bianca’s brothers Rasmus and Andersbut also Börje’s brother Stig Salming and the wife Pia Salming.
“I’m glad that I got all the happy moments, when you and I are as usual. Memories that I will be able to look back on forever. I’m glad I get to show off a small part of why you were the best father, and person I’ve ever met. The second mostly just hurts me. It became a documentary that is honest and shows how life can be. Sadness, joy, family, sport and the desire to get somewhere.”
“Thank you dad for being you and my dad,” Bianca concludes.
