Guess the athlete game


Anybody recognize this iconic athlete? Probably much bigger in China than in his native Sweden. Anyway, this is who I will be spending Sweden's National Day with. Thumbs up if you -despite the bad photo- can tell me his name (and if you're not Swedish!).

    Wow. Jan Ove Waldner - loved immensely in China. An all time great - lucky you.

    Looks like Jan-Ove Waldner, although the light isn't great which makes it tough- am I right?

    Picture not very clear but based on your hint that he isn't very well known outside of China, I'm going to guess Jan-Ove Waldner :)

    Damn, this guy is legendary in the eyes of Chinese.

    A lot of local folks have great respect for him.

    My guess would be Peder Peddersen, the badminton player?

    约尔根·佩尔森 -Jörgen Persson!

    Tricky one though, because Jan Ove Waldner was here too! But not for our event.
