Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox sportsperson

Sven Anders Gärderud (born 28 August 1946) is a Swedish former track and field athlete, winner of the 3000 m steeplechase event at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Gärderud was born to an orienteering competitor, and was an accomplished orienteer himself, winning a team gold medal at the 1977 Swedish Championships. He initially trained in orienteering and changed sports by chance – he was banned from running in the woods in autumn 1961 due to a jaundice epidemic and wandered into an athletic hall.^[2]

Gärderud experimented with several events before focusing on the 3000 m steeplechase.^[1] His first major competition were the 1968 Summer Olympics, where he was eliminated in the heats of 800 m and 1500 m. In the following years, Gärderud concentrated on the steeplechase, and was already a main favorite at the 1972 Summer Olympics, but, suffering from a cold, he was eliminated in his heat. Gärderud was also eliminated in the heats of the 5000 m at the Olympics,^[1] but only seven days later, he set a new 3000 m steeplechase world record at 8:20.8.^[4]

At the 1974 European Championships in Rome, Gärderud was beaten by Bronisław Malinowski of Poland,^[5] yet next year he broke the 3000 m steeplechase world record three times.^[4]^[6]

The culmination of Gärderud's career was at the 1976 Summer Olympics, where after a stirring contest with Malinowski and Frank Baumgartl, Gärderud won the gold medal in a new world record of 8:08.02.^[1] His victory in that event would earn him a share of the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal with cyclist Bernt Johansson.

After retiring from competitions Gärderud worked as a TV commentator of athletics events and as the head coach of the Swedish athletics team.^[1]^[2]^[3] In 1986 he married Annika Johansson.^[7]
