The medal is mostly awarded to skiers in the Nordic events. Ingemar Stenmark of Sweden earned the medal in 1979 as one of only eleven non-Nordic skiers to ever earn this honor. Stein Eriksen, King Haakon VII, Boghild Niskin, Inger Bjørnbakken, Astrid Sandvik, King Olav V, Erik Håker, and Jacob Vaage, King Harald V, and Queen Sonja, all from Norway, are the others.
