MAGNUS OLSSON AWARD FOR BURLING
Kiwi sailor Peter Burling is the 2020 winner of the prestigious Magnus Olsson Prize, awarded annually by Sweden’s Mange Olsson Foundation to an individual who has made an indelible contribution to the world of sailing.
Previous recipients include Torben Grael, Sir Ben Ainslie, Stan Honey, Santiago Lange, Grant Dalton and Carolijn Brouwer.
Burling (29) is by far the youngest winner of the prize. The Mange Olsson Memorial Foundation was created to continue the essence of enthusiasm, passion, and determination that Mange (Magnus) brought to the sport of sailing.
