Annichen Kringstad

Annichen Kringstad (b. July 15, 1960 in Oslo, Norway) is a Swedish orienteer. She is considered, along with Simone Niggli-Luder, to be the best female orienteer ever. Kringstad was the first household name orienteer in Sweden, and she was a major reason for the popularisation of the sport. Kringstad won the world championships individually as well as the relay in 1981, 1983 and 1985, before retiring at the age of 25.
