Biography

Axel Lindahl was a Swedish long-distance runner who represented Karlskoga IF. At the 1912 Stockholm Olympics Lindahl ran in the cross-country race but did not finish. The individual placements in the race were used to determine the result in the team event in which Sweden won the gold medal. Unfortunately for Lindahl only the top three placings counted, meaning he was not awarded with a medal.
