Biography
Werner Jernström was born to the son of a file cutter from Eskilstuna who lived in Stockholm. Werner later worked as a salesman. He was a two-time Olympian, in 1912 and 1920, winning bronze in the military rifle team event in the former. After his death in 1930, he bequeathed his prize collection including his bronze medal to his club, Södermalm & Liljeholmens Skf. Almost 100 years after the Stockholm Olympics, the medal was then sold for an amount of 25,000 Swedish kroner to buy new electronic equipment for the club.
