Bo "Ronny" Michael Persson[1] (born (1966-08-11)August 11, 1966 in Kramfors, Västernorrland County, Sweden) is a Swedish para alpine skier and wheelchair curler.[2]

Sports career

As a para alpine skier (LW10 class: sitting, paraplegia with no or some upper abdominal function and no functional sitting balance) he participated at the 1998 Winter Paralympics (won a bronze medal in downhill) and at the 2002 Winter Paralympics (won three silver medals - in slalom, giant slalom and super-G - and a bronze medal in downhill).

Before the 2006 Winter Paralympics, the idea was that Ronny would end his alpine career by winning a Paralympic gold, which he did at most of the World Cups. But an injury that led to a serious infection and blood poisoning put an end to these plans.

After some years without sport he started wheelchair curling at 2013.[3]

As a wheelchair curler he participated at the 2018 Winter Paralympics where Swedish team finished on tenth place.

He was a Swedish flag bearer at the 2018 Winter Paralympics opening ceremony.[4]

In 2004 he had a nomination for the Laureus World Sportsperson of the Year with Disability Award.
