}} Sven Anders Gärderud (born 28 August 1946) is a Swedish former track and field athlete, winner of the 3000 m steeplechase event at the 1976 Summer Olympics.〔〔〔 Gärderud experimented with several events before rising to athletic greatness in the 3000 m steeplechase.〔 His first major competition were the 1968 Summer Olympics, where he was eliminated in the heats of 800 m and 1500 m. In the following years, Gärderud concentrated only to the 3000 m steeplechase, and was already a main favourite at the 1972 Summer Olympics, but, suffering from a cold, he was eliminated in his heat. Gärderud was also eliminated in the heats of the 5000 m at the Olympics,〔 but only seven days later, he set a new 3000 m steeplechase world record of 8:20.8. At the 1974 European Championships, Gärderud was narrowly beaten by Bronisław Malinowski of Poland,〔(European Championships (Men) ). GBR Athletics. Retrieved on 2015-01-13.〕 but managed to break the 3000 m steeplechase world record twice in 1975. At first he ran 8:10.4 and only six days later 8:09.8 minutes. The culmination of Gärderud's career was at the 1976 Summer Olympics, where after a stirring contest with Malinowski and Frank Baumgartl, Gärderud won the gold medal in a new world record of 8:08.02.〔(Anders Gärderud ). sports-reference. Retrieved on 2015-01-13.〕 His stirring victory in that event would earn him a share of the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal with cyclist Bernt Johansson. Gärderud is also an accomplished orienteer and was a member of the winning relay team at the 1977 Swedish Orienteering Championships. After retiring from competitions Gärderud worked as a TV commentator of athletics events and as the head coach of the Swedish women’s athletics team.〔〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anders Gärderud」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
