Johan Sundkvist

Johan Adolf Sundkvist (22 June 1889 – 16 December 1977) was a Swedish long-distance runner who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics.^[3] He finished tenth in the individual cross country competition. This was the fifth-best Swedish result, so he was not awarded a medal in the team cross country competition, where only the best three were honoured. The course was rather hilly and ca. 12 km long; it was not made known to competitors before the race.^[1][4][5]
