Sven Emil Lundgren (29 September 1896 – 18 June 1960) was a Swedish middle-distance runner who competed in the 800 m, 1500 and 3000 m events at the 1920 and 1924 Olympics.[3] He had his best results in 1920, when he won a bronze medal in the 3000 m team contest and finished fifth in the 1500 m. He failed to reach the finals in all other events.[1]
Lundgren won eight Swedish titles, four over 800 m and four over 1500 m, six of them in 1919–1921. From 1922 to 1926 he held the world record in the 1000 m, and from 1919 to 1925 in the 4 × 1500 m relay. In retirement Lundgren worked as warehouse manager in Stockholm.[1][4][5]
