Viktor Balck
Viktor Gustaf Balck KCMG (April 25, 1844 – May 31, 1928) was a Swedish Army officer and sports personality who was one of the original members of the International Olympic Committee and who is often called "the father of Swedish sports".
==Military career==
Balck was born in Karlskrona, Sweden, and was a sailor in his youth. In 1861, he joined the Swedish War Academy at Karlberg in Stockholm as an officer cadet of the Swedish Navy. After a while, he switched track to become a cadet for the Swedish army, and was active in fencing and gymnastics. He stayed on as assistant gymnastics instructor at Karlberg for a while, and in 1866 was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Närke regiment. He was promoted to lieutenant in 1875, in the same regiment, and to captain in 1884.〔(Nordisk familjebok, band 2 (1904), sp. 754-755: Balck, Viktor Gustaf ) 〕
However, Balck's military career came to be devoted almost entirely to gymnastics and sports. He was assistant instructor at Karlberg from 1868 to 1870, then gymnastics teacher at the Swedish cavalry riding school at Strömsholm, 1870-1872. He became an instructor of military gymnastics and fencing at the Swedish Central Institute of Gymnastics in 1885, was chief instructor in the same subject, 1887-1909, and the Institute's director 1907-1909.〔(Nordisk familjebok, supplementband 34 (1922), sp. 433: Balck, Viktor Gustaf ) 〕 He was promoted to major in the Swedish Army in 1894, to lieutenant colonel in 1900, and to colonel in 1904.〔 In 1909 he transferred to the reserve list and in 1914 received an honorary promotion to major general.〔
