Biography

Gösta Bergström was a Swedish long-distance runner who represented Fredrikshofs IF. At the 1924 Paris Olympics Bergström ran in both the 10,000 metres and the cross-country event but did not finish in either race. The individual performances in the cross-country race counted towards the standings in the team event, but none of the Swedish athletes finished the course.
