Our Swedish skiers have had fantastic seasons.
A lot of podium places and WC medals have resulted in million rain.
Now it is revealed who has earned the most during the ski season.
The season for winter sports is officially over and we can look back to a fantastic winter for our blue and yellow national team skiers. Where WC medals, podium places at the World Cup and incredible efforts have gilded the otherwise so dark winter half year.
They have earned the most
In cross-country skiing, there was no championship and instead full focus on the World Cup and Tour de Ski, while the biathletes have once again had a WC. Many fine efforts in the various sports have now resulted in millions of rain for our Swedish skiing heroes.

As usual, it is cross-country skiing and biathlon that have the most skiers on the top list of the Swedes who have earned the most in prize money during the past season. But this year we surprisingly find an alpine skier in the top three places.
Svahn’s great success
The cross-country skiers Lynn Svahn and Frida Karlsson have had fantastic seasons and lined up successes in the tracks, which is clearly visible in the money list that SVT has compiled. Svahn, who won the overall sprint cup, takes care of a superior first place with a whopping 2,650,000 kroner in prize money earned during the season.
