Jerring Award
The Jerring Award (Swedish : Jerringpriset or "Radiosportens Jerringpris") is a prize established by Radiosporten (the sport section of Sveriges Radio ) and voted by its radio audience who choose the best performing Swedish athlete or team of the year. The prize is named after Swedish radio personality Sven Jerring . It is also called "the prize of the people", since it is the radio audience who vote. Criticism was made between 2010-2019 regarding a lack of amateur sport awards, leading to awards being given in golf and horse jumping
The prize was first awarded in 1979, the inaugural winner being the alpine skier Ingemar Stenmark . Biathlete Magdalena Forsberg holds the record number of wins with four awards. Biathlon is also the sport has had the winner the most times with 6.
