Armand Duplantis and Sarah Sjöström will become stamps. The Swedish superstars are being recognized as Svenska Dagbladet's Swedish Gold for outstanding athletic achievements celebrates 100 years.

Aside from Duplantis and Sjöström, Björn Borg, Ingemar Stenmark and Anja Pärson will also be depicted. The quintet is the athletes who have individually been awarded the Bragdguldet twice over the years.

Very nice. If you look at the list of those who have received the Bragdguldet twice, they are the greatest Swedish athletes of all time. To myself be on that list is very big and a little unreal, says Duplantis to Svenska Dagbladet.

Tennis legend Björn Borg is also pleased to become a stamp for his exploits.

An honor. And I am in fine company, says Borg, Bragd medalist in 1974 and 1978, to SvD.
