Karl Axel Patrik Norling (16 April 1884 – 7 May 1964) was a Swedish gymnast, diver, and tug of war competitor who participated in the 1906 Intercalated Games and 1908 and 1912 Summer Olympics.[1] He won a bronze medal in the tug of war in 1906, as well as two gold medals with the Swedish gymnastics team, in 1908 and 1912, alongside his younger brother Daniel.[2]
Norling was a member of Djurgårdens IF, which he represented in several sports.[3] He played bandy with Djurgårdens IF Bandy and football with Djurgårdens IF Fotboll, both as a centre-half.[4] For the football team, he played the 1904 and 1906 finals of Svenska Mästerskapet, both times losing to Örgryte IS.[5] As a diver, Norling represented Stockholms KK, and as a gymnast, he represented KFUM GA.[6]
