Events from the year 2011 in Sweden
The Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal is an annual award "for the most significant Swedish sports achievement of the year". It has been awarded by a jury led by the Swedish morning paper Svenska Dagbladet since 1925. According to its statutes the Medal may be awarded in November or December to either an individual sportsperson or a team. An individual can be awarded the Medal no more than twice, and to receive a second medal, that athlete must be "regarded a class of his own".
Sweden competed at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, Mexico. 100 competitors, 86 men and 14 women, took part in 95 events in 13 sports.
Sweden competed at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Italy. 134 competitors, 115 men and 19 women, took part in 100 events in 15 sports.

Rönnlund was the anchorman of the Swedish 4 × 10 km relay team at the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, bringing the team from fourth place to victory.
