Niklas Edin Swedish curler from Örnsköldsvik, Sweden

He is the first and currenly the only skip in history to win three Olympic medals – gold (2022), silver (2018), and bronze (2014). 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 three silver medals in those championships. He has won three Olympic medals, winning a gold medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics, a silver medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics and a 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-six 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 such team to win more than one Slam, as well as 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.
