Biography

He was awarded an individual gold medal in 1920 in the military rifle, prone, 600 metres, beating three other contestants in a shoot-out. Johansson’s career ran parallel to that of Mauritz Eriksson, with whom Johansson won his team event gold medal in the free rifle, three positions, 300 metres in 1912.
