The nominees for the Jerring Prize were announced today.
As always, it has aroused strong reactions in our elongated country.
Because one of Swedish sports’ world stars has been completely snubbed.
When the nominations for the Sports Gala came, strong opinions were raised for the Swedish NHL star Erik Karlsson as well as the skiing heroes Ebba Andersson and Jonna Sundling was missing despite fantastic efforts this year. Now the nominations for the glorious Jerring Prize have also arrived and it also arouses emotions.
Sundling nobbes
In any case, the aforementioned Karlsson and Andersson get revenge by being included as candidates for what is called the “People’s Prize” at the Sports Gala. But Jonna Sundling is again completely overlooked despite double WC gold in 2023.

Nor the biathlete Sebastian Samuelsson or the orienteer Tove Alexandersson is on the list, which you can see below. In addition, another Swedish world star gets snubbed and the SVT expert gets it Lotta Björe to react strongly.
The expert’s critique
Henrik von Eckermann is not even included despite the fact that he won European Championship gold and the individual World Cup in 2023.
– He has also set a record as world number one after riding several different horses, which is very unusual, says Björe to SVT Sport.

Von Eckermann was part of the national jumping team that won the Jerring Prize in 2021 and he should have been one of the twelve nominees for this year’s prize, according to the SVT expert.
– It is very sad and he would absolutely have been there, even though I am colored by my sport, Lotta Björe admits to the TV channel.
