Both Svenska Dagbladet and Radiosporten plan to distribute their heavy prizes, Bragdguldet and Jerringpriset, despite the fact that the corona pandemic has reduced the number of sports achievements in 2020 drastically.

- We should definitely try to hand out a Gold of Gold. Partly because things have actually happened. I think of Duplanti's world record in the pole, Linn Svahn's victory in the sprint cup and Frida Karlsson in Holmenkollen, says Anders Lindblad, chronicler in the Swedish SVD and secretary of the beast, and continues:

- There were still achievements that are fully accomplished winners. Plus we hope the sport will get started so that there will be more candidates.

"Only one needed"

He says that they have already had in-depth discussions, he together with both the jury and Anna Careborg, who is chairman of the board and the SVD's chief editor. And certainly it will be special.

Will the price feel just as great and nice this year?

- That's the question. If it really does when only a few have had the chance to do their deeds. But then it is also the case that to have a winner you really only need a really good performance, if you see it crashed.

There, the beast can thank Armand Duplantis for his show before the corona pandemic struck.

- That performance would have been very high even though it had been the Olympics, I think. It was, after all, extremely good.

The process can change

At the end of April, SVT Sport wrote that the Jerring Prize for 2020 will be awarded.

Radio sports Bengt Skött, longtime editor of the Jerring Prize, is used to picking between 10 and 15 candidates. This year, he will be satisfied if he comes in at five.

- I still have about eight events on my list that are not canceled after the summer. We are seeing two candidates now (Duplantis and Svahn plus possibly Karlsson) and hope we can come up in four to five pieces. That can be enough, says Skött.

Just like the Sports Gala, which opened to make changes due to the fact that you may not get enough nominations, Skött sees that the Jerring Prize can get a new layout.

- Our change can be that we shorten the journey ahead, either that we shorten the voting period or let all the few candidates that exist throughout the process. But there is no doubt that the price will be available this year as well. And the people will still get their case.
