Biography

Aarne Lindholm was a Finnish long-distance runner who competed at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. Lindholm ran in the cross-country event but did not finish the race. Finland won the silver medal in the team cross-country but only the three-best individual results counted towards the result. Therefore Lindholm was not awarded with a medal. He also ran in the 5,000 metres and the 3,000 metres team race but was eliminated in the heats in both.

Personal Bests: 3000 – unknown; 5000 – 15:57.8 (1912).
