Niklas Edin Swedish curler from Örnsköldsvik, Sweden

Johan Niklas Edin is a Swedish curler. He currently resides in Karlstad, which has been his curling home base since 2008. He is a five-time World champion and, thus, the first and only skip in history to skip teams to five World Men's Curling Championship medals. He has curled solely in the role of skip since 2008 and, thus, all of the international medals he has won in that role since then have earned him more of these medals than any other skip in history. He is also a seven-time European Curling Champion, additionally winning two silver medals in those championships. He has won two Olympic medals, winning a silver medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics and the bronze medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Taking into account his combined junior and senior career, he has also won the most medals in international competitions of all curlers as recognized by the World Curling Federation. He has also made the playoffs in thirty-four Grand Slam of Curling events and skipped his team to become the first non-Canadian men's team to win any Slam, as well as the first and only men's team to win more than one Slam and the Pinty's Cup. With the same lineup in 2021, Edin and his teammates also became the first men's curling team ever to win three straight World Curling Championships. Edin has played exclusively in the position of skip since 2007. The team bearing his name has been ranked on the World Curling Tour as high as No. 1, including for most of the 2017–18 season. As of the end of the 2020-21 Curling Season, Team Edin is ranked among the Top 10 teams in the world.

Having also won two World Mixed Doubles Championship medals, he is the first and the only curler to have six World Curling Championship gold medals in the senior men's division and, as of the end of the 2020-21 curling season, has won eleven World Curling Championship medals in that division. He also holds the record for most gold medals in international competitions as recognized by the World Curling Federation. He is the only member of Team Sweden to have competed in all of the World Men's Curling Championships from 2011 to 2021. He won medals in all but one of these championships, as well as playing in multiple positions – as skip, third, second, and as an alternate. He also has reached twenty-five playoffs at Grand Slam of Curling events, including winning three Grand Slam tournaments and the Pinty's Cup as part of Team Niklas Edin, the first non-Canadian men's team to do so. In 2021, Eriksson and his teammates also became the first men's team in history to win three consecutive World Men's Curling Championships, with Eriksson and Niklas Edin the first two curlers in history to have five gold World Men's Curling Championship medals.
