Bo Ronny Michael Persson [1] (born 11 August 1966) is a Swedish para alpine skier and wheelchair curler. [2]
As a para-alpine skier (LW10 class: sitting, paraplegia with no or some upper abdominal function and no functional sitting balance) he participated at the 1998 Winter Paralympics (won a bronze medal in downhill) and at the 2002 Winter Paralympics (won three silver medals - in slalom, giant slalom and super-G - and a bronze medal in downhill).
Before the 2006 Winter Paralympics, the idea was that Ronny would end his alpine career by winning a Paralympic gold, which he did at most of the World Cups. But an injury that led to a serious infection and sepsis put an end to these plans.
After some years without sport, he started wheelchair curling at 2013. [3]
As a wheelchair curler he participated in the 2018 Winter Paralympics where Swedish team finished on tenth place.
He was a Swedish flag bearer at the 2018 Winter Paralympics opening ceremony. [4]
In 2004 he had a nomination for the Laureus World Sportsperson of the Year with Disability Award.
