Rolf Arfwidsson
Rolf Arfwidsson (11 May 1928 – 2 August 2021) was the skip of the Norrköpings CK, a Swedish curling team, during the 1962 Scotch Cup, the first Swedish team to play at the World Curling Championships. (look for "Arfwidsson, Rolf") Arfwidsson and his team won his lone Swedish Men's Curling Championship in 1962, and represented Sweden at the 1962 Scotch Cup World Championships. There, they lost all their games. One factor that was to their disfavour was the fact that the Swedes were used to a rule where they had to release the rock before the tee-line, which was not the rule in international play. Arfwidsson would not win another Swedish men's championships, but won a national seniors championship in 1975 and a national masters title in 2012. He was a board member of the Swedish Curling Association (SCA) from 1964 to 1970 and SCA chairman from 1966 to 1970. In 1971 he was inducted into the Swedish Curling Hall of Fame.
