Rasmus Wranå
Rasmus Bele Åke Wranå (born 15 November 1994) is a Swedish curler from Karlstad.[2] He currently plays second for the Swedish national team, skipped by Niklas Edin. With his teammates Edin, Oskar Eriksson, and Christoffer Sundgren, Wranå became part of the first and only team in history to win four consecutive gold medals at the World Men's Curling Championship (2018, 2019, 2021, 2022). In 2017, Wranå and these same teammates also became the first non-Canadian men's curling team to win three Grand Slam tournaments and the Pinty's Cup. Along with Anders Kraupp, he is one of only two male curlers in Sweden to have won all three Swedish national championships in which he was eligible to compete in the senior division – men's team curling, mixed curling, and mixed doubles. In 2018 he was inducted into the Swedish Curling Hall of Fame.
