Biography

Bo Åhlen was a Swedish track and field athlete who specialised as a sprinter. Åhlen was the runner-up in the 200 metres at the Swedish championships in 1950. Two years later he won gold in the same event, which led to him being selected on the Swedish team for the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. Åhlen was a reserve for the 100 metres and the 4 × 400 metres relay at the Helsinki Games, however, and did not compete.
