Carl Hårleman (23 June 1886 – 20 August 1948) was a Swedish gymnast and track and field athlete who competed in the 1908 and 1912 Summer Olympics.[2]
Career
[edit]At the 1908 Olympic Games he was part of the Swedish gymnastics team that won the all-around gold medal. Four years later in 1912, he finished twelfth in the pole vault competition at his home Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden.[3][4]
The following year, he finished second behind fellow Swede Clas Gille in the pole jump event at the British 1913 AAA Championships.[5][6][7]
In 1917, he won the Swedish pole vault title and set a national record that stood until 1921.[3][4]
Hårleman was born into a noble family. He worked in insurance, served in the Swedish Army, reached the rank of captain, and acted as secretary-general of several sports associations.[3]
