At the World Cup in Japan in December, Linn Blohm was one of Sweden's best goal scorers and was also named the championship's best middle man.
In the Danish league, where she plays in Copenhagen, she had a shooting percentage of 80 and was eliminated in the league's all-star team.
The motivation from the jury, which consists of the Swedish Handball League's elite council and the national team captain Henrik Signell, states:
"After becoming a mother, she has returned to the handball field and been better than ever. With a strong defense game and impressive efficiency offensively, she has been one of the most important players in both club and national team this past season and has taken the step to the extreme world top. "
The motivation continues:
"She was the best in the World Cup in her position in December, she was the Danish league's foremost middle sex and the choice to appoint her as the player of the year in Swedish handball was obvious."
