The Wranå siblings have gained fame during the Olympics, celebrated by Zlatan Ibrahimovic who expressed his excitement on social media after their victory.
During the Olympics, the Wranå siblings have transformed from relative unknowns to national stars, leading to a surge of interest in curling in Sweden. Their recent victory has not gone unnoticed, with fans across the country and beyond, such as in Milan, tuning in closely to their performances. On social media, the renowned footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic shared his enthusiasm following the siblings' gold medal win by posting a video of himself celebrating while watching their event on SVT.
Ibrahimovic's shoutout highlights not only his own support for the Swedish Olympic team but also emphasizes the growing prominence of the Wranå siblings in the sporting scene. Earlier in the week, he congratulated fellow Swedish athletes, including Linn Svahn after her gold win, and Frida Karlsson after her skiathlon victory, showcasing his ongoing engagement with Sweden's Olympic representatives. This indicates a strong sense of camaraderie and national pride fostered around the events.
The attention from Ibrahimovic and the excitement surrounding the Wranå siblings is significant as it can potentially inspire a new generation to take up curling and foster greater interest in winter sports in Sweden ahead of the upcoming 2026 Olympics. Their emergence and recognition could lead to increased support and resources for curling programs, benefiting the sport at all levels.
