This winter it is time for Tove – help her win the award! Together we put some extra light on our sport!
Do you think that Tove Alexandersson was the greatest Swedish athlete in 2019? If so – vote for the Queen of Orienteering in the Jerring Prize voting!
In 1981 Annichen Kringstad won the Jerring Prize, and that was the last and to this point only time that an orienteer has been awarded this prize, “Jerringpriset” in Swedish. It is the most prestigious award for sport achievements in Sweden and it is often referred to as “the Award of the People”.
Once again Tove Alexandersson is one of the top candidates, and if she gets this award it would mean a lot for orienteering in Sweden, and of course, for the visibility of orienteering in general.
There are 11 candidates and it is the people – within or outside Sweden – who decide. The winner will be presented at a big annual gala which is broadcast and seen by millions of viewers.
