Timeline

1919

John Arthur Ljunggren (9 September 1919 – 13 January 2000) was a Swedish race walker.

1946

At the European Championships he won a gold medal in 1946, a silver medal in 1950, and finished fourth in 1954 and fifth in 1962.

Ljunggren got used to long walks as a child, along with his brothers Verner and Gunnar, as they did not have bicycles.

He was known for his walking technique, and was never disqualified during his 499 races.

He also competed nationally in cycling, orienteering, running and cross-country skiing.

1948

He competed in the 50 kilometer event at the 1948, 1952, 1956, 1960 and 1964 Olympics and finished in first, ninth, third, second and 16th place, respectively.

1952

Ljunggren was used to hot, but not cold weather; so he got cramps in the cold Helsinki at the 1952 Olympics and finished ninth.

1956

At the 1956 Olympics he got a bad infection in a toe before the final race, yet managed to finish third.

1960

At the 1960 Games in Rome, a friendly race official poured a bucket of ice water close to the finish; Ljunggren cramped again and finished second.

1984

Ljunggren continued race walking until 1984, and won the 20 km event at the 1977 World Championships in the masters category.

An accountant by trade, he was deeply religious.
