Sven Helge Hamrin (30 March 1941 – 25 January 2018)[1] was a Swedish cyclist who competed at the 1964 Olympics. He finished 50th in the individual road race and won a bronze medal in the team time trial, riding with the Fåglum brothers. The same year he won the road race at the national championships.[2][3][4]
In 1970 he was involved in an auto accident in Norway, as a result of which he remained in a coma for 45 days. Eventually he recovered and resumed cycling, even though one of his legs was six centimeters shorter as a result of multiple surgeries.
