Oskar Eriksson
Swedish curler
Oskar Ingemar Eriksson (born 29 May 1991) is a Swedish curler from Karlstad. He was the longtime third on Team Niklas Edin before taking over the team as skip following Edin's retirement in 2026. 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 an eight-time World Men's Curling Champion, eight-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 (gold and bronze), he is the first and the only curler to win eight World Curling Championship gold medals in the senior men's division and has won thirteen 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 2026. He won medals in all but four of these championships, as well as playing in multiple positions – as skip (silver, 2014), third (gold, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2026, and silver, 2017), second (bronze, 2012), and as an alternate (gold, 2013 and bronze, 2011). In 2022, Eriksson and his teammates also became the first men's team in history to win four consecutive World Men's Curling Championships. In 2026, Eriksson and Niklas Edin became the first and only two curlers in history to have eight career gold World Men's Curling Championship medals.

Why this record matters
“Oskar Eriksson” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Oskar, Eriksson and Swedish provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2033648. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1991, 2026, 2011 and 2014.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
