Bruno Liljefors Swedish artist

Bruno Andreas Liljefors was a Swedish artist. He is perhaps best known for his nature and animal motifs, especially with dramatic situations.

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 holds several sport distinctions. The World Curling Federation (WCF) recognizes that his combined junior and senior career title achievements are the most of any curlier and skip in the history of the organization. He is the first and the only skip in WCF history to win three Olympic medals – gold (2022), silver (2018), and bronze (2014). He is the first and only six-time World WCF titleholder. He is the first and only curler in WCF history to skip teams to six World Men's Curling Championship medals. He has curled solely as skip since 2008 and all of the international title medals he has won since then have earned him more of these medals than any other skip in WCF history. He is also a seven-time European Curling titleholder, 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. He made the playoffs in thirty-seven Grand Slam of Curling events and skipped his team when they became the first men's team to deny the title favorites Canada the slam win twice. They won the Pinty's Cup. With the same lineup in 2022, Edin and his teammates also became the first and only men's curling team to title four consecutive 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.

Oskar Ingemar Eriksson is a Swedish curler from Karlstad. He currently plays third for the Niklas Edin rink. He is the first curler in history to win four Olympic medals – gold, silver, and two bronze – and the first to secure two Olympic medals in different curling disciplines in the same Olympic Games. He is also a six-time World Men's Curling Champion, seven-time European Men's Curling Champion, and the first curler in history to win three gold medals in major international curling championships in a single calendar year – the World Men's Curling Championship, the European Curling Championship, and the World Mixed Doubles Championship. Having also won two World Mixed Doubles Championship medals, he is the first and the only curler to have seven World Curling Championship gold medals in the senior men's division and has won twelve World Curling Championship medals overall 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. In 2022, Eriksson and his teammates also became the first men's team in history to win four consecutive World Men's Curling Championships, with Eriksson and Niklas Edin becoming the first and only two curlers in history to have six career gold World Men's Curling Championship medals.

Malmberg is a Swedish surname. Malmberg means "Iron Mountain", with Malm referring to iron ore and Berg referring to mountain. Berg could also reference town or village, so the name would then be "the village in which iron is mined", or "the mountain where we mine iron ore".

Kjell Tommy Christoffer Sundgren is a Swedish curler. He currently plays lead for the Swedish national team, skipped by Niklas Edin. The World Curling Federation historical records rank Sundgren as one of the most successful curlers of all time, both in the medals that he has received and his lifetime performance in individual championships. He is one of only three curlers in history to have won both the Olympic Gold medal and five World Championship gold medals. In 2022, he surpassed the previous record holders for World Men's Curling Championship medals, winning his fifth gold medal, in addition to his and European Men's Curling Championship, placing him third of all time on both lists behind his teammates Edin and Oskar Eriksson. He also has reached twenty-seven 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 2017, Sundgren and his teammates also became the first men's team in history to win four consecutive European Men's Curling Championships, and in 2021, he and his teammates became the first men's team in history to win four consecutive World Men's Curling Championships.
