Biography
Swedish distance runner Henrik Nordström represented IFK Eskilstuna and competed at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. Nordström ran in the cross-country race but did not finish the course. Sweden won gold in the team event but as Nordström was not one of the best-three placed Swedes overall he was not awarded with a medal. He also ran in the 5,000 metres, finishing in second place in his heat to reach the final, but he did not appear on the start line for a chance to win a medal. Nordström was scheduled to run in the 10,000 metres but did not start that race either.
Personal Best: 5000 – 15:49.1 (1912).
