Karl-Erik Åström (18 April 1924 - 9 December 1993[ 1] ) was a Swedish cross-country skier who competed in the 1950s. He won two gold medals at the 1950 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in the 18 km and the 4 x 10 km.
Career
Karl-Erik Åström made his only appearance in the international stage during the 1950 Nordic World Ski Championship which was held in Rumford , Maine . After being a reserve for the Swedish team in the 1948 Winter Olympics held in St. Moritz , he was selected in the same spot in 1950 but was then granted a spot in the men's cross country which was held on 3 February where he claimed the gold medal ahead of fellow Swedish competitor Enar Josefsson who was the favourite leading into the race.[ 2] Two days later, he would be part of the Swedish team that won the 4x10km relay with Nils Täpp , Martin Lundström and Enar Josefsson.[ 3]
