Who Is Torger Nergård From Norway?
When Thomas Ulsrud had to return home for family reasons, Torger Nergard took over as skip at the 2010 World Curling Championship in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.
Team Nergard won the silver medal after some memorable matches, including a 9–8 victory over Canada’s Team Kevin Koe in the final round-robin game, which put Norway first in the rankings (10–1), and a 9–7 victory over Scotland’s Team Warwick Smith in the semi-final.

The award is given to an athlete who “best exemplifies the traditional curling values of skill, honesty, fair play, friendship, and sportsmanship by deed and action in the course of their performance.”
