Gustaf Vilhelm Klarén (30 March 1906 – 27 September 1984) was a Swedish freestyle wrestler who won a bronze medal in the lightweight division at the 1932 Summer Olympics.[1][2]
He initially could not afford traveling to the Olympics, but the inhabitants of Borås helped him by raising money. He later owned and ran a cigar store in Borås.[1][2][3]
