Bror Viking Palm (13 October 1923 – 19 January 2009[1]) was a Swedish light-heavyweight freestyle wrestler. He competed at the 1952, 1956 and 1960 Olympics and won a gold medal in 1952, finishing fourth in 1960. In 1960 his bronze medal match against Anatoly Albul ended in a draw, but Albul had a lower body weight.[2] Palm won two medals at the world championships, in 1951 and 1954.[3]
Palm was born to a farmer and started training in wrestling aged 16, together with his elder brother Evert. He had a long wrestling career and reached the final of his last national championships aged 47. He was a firefighter by profession, but in 1972 began working as a policeman in Solna.[4]
