Swedish biathlete Tage Lundin first began to compete in ski championships when he was 14-years-old. In 1957 Lundin began a job in the forest, but suffered a serious leg injury in a chainsaw accident, leaving him in a cast for six weeks. He made a full recovery, becoming a three-time national biathlon champion (1959, 1965–66). In 1960 Lundin was selected to represent Sweden in the individual event at the Squaw Valley Olympics, where he came 12th. One year later he won bronze in the 3 x 7.5 km relay at the Biathlon World Championships, although it was deemed an unofficial event. In 1984 Lundin competed at the Winter Paralympics in Innsbruck as a sighted guide to the visually impaired skier Sven-Ivar Marthin.
