Yes, count Folke Bernadotte is also much celebrated by the Swedes while the memory of Dag Hammarskjöld is pretty faded.
Björn Borg and Ingemar Stenmark were about on one level in Sweden and as Slalom for one individual doesnt take as long as a tennis match, when I was a school child there the lessons were interrupted for 15 minutes so all could go to watch next door in TV how Ingemar Stenmark made his run. When there was a competition, it happened kind of twice a day, I think.
Solander was totally unknown to me. Funny to get that information from far away Australia.
EDIT: I just now reflect that Ingemar Stenmark looks a little bit atypical for Sweden:
