Knut Andreas "Knatten" Lindberg (2 February 1882 – 6 April 1961) was a Swedish athlete who competed at the 1906 Intercalated Games and the 1908 and 1912 Summer Olympics.[1] He had his best results in 1906 when he won a silver medal in javelin throw and finished fifth in ancient pentathlon[2] and sixth in the 100 m race. He won another silver medal in 1912, with the Swedish 4 × 100 m relay team, but failed to reach the finals in all his other events in 1908 and 1912, which included sprint and javelin throw.[3]
Lindberg won 15 national athletics titles: nine over 100 m (1902, 1904–1909, 1911 and 1912); three over 200 m (1908–1909 and 1912) and three over 110 m hurdles (1907–1909). He was also part of the Örgryte IS football team that won the Swedish championships in 1902 and 1904–1907. In 1910, he beat a taxi driver to death, but his defense lawyer managed to lower his sentence to seven months.[4]
