Sorry - in Swedish:

But here is a translation:
Two World Championship medals and victory in five days (O-Ringen) was sufficient for the jury. Orienteering Helena Jansson gets GP's (Gothenburg Post) major sporting prize.

She had every medal going before last season - except for one, but it hung around the neck of Miskolc, in Hungary last summer. A World Championship gold in the sprint and Helena Jansson, from Tibro and Skövde, was so happy, so happy. A few weeks earlier this 24-year-old girl gave a historic performance in Småland Eksjö - she won not only O-Ringen in total, but each day (every stage). For her performance in 2009, Jansson received GP's major sporting prize.

- "Very nice, beautiful, and cool" says the award winner, who in addition to the honor, receives 40 000 SEK which seems to her as:

- "It's a sick amount of money and means alot for me. I do not have to work and it provides some security in everyday life."

On Monday, Helena Jansson may win another award, Jerringpris candidate, but she did not really think about it.

- "No, it is probably a no" she says.

The article also lists some of her merits, etc.

Hip Hip Hurrah for Helena!
