Kristian Hellström (24 July 1880 – 14 June 1946) was a Swedish middle-distance runner and a sports administrator. He competed at the 1906 Intercalated Games in the 800 m and 1500 m events and finished in fifth and third place, respectively. At the 1908 Summer Olympics, he failed to reach the final of the 800 m event.[1][2][3]
Nationally, he won the 1500 m title in 1900 and 1901 and the 10,000 m title in 1902. He was also the German champion for the 1500 m in 1905.[1]
Hellström was a prolific sports administrator who founded his first sports club, IF Sleipner Stockholm, in 1897 at age 17. In 1901, he launched the first cross-country race in Sweden. In 1912, Hellström became Secretary-General of the Organizing Committee of the Stockholm Olympics. He was also a founding member of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), becoming its first Secretary-General from 1913 to 1914.[1]
Hellström finished second behind Ivo Fairbairn-Crawford in the 880 yards event at the British 1907 AAA Championships.[4][5][6]
