He already competed at Berlin in the Swedish three-day event team, but his successes would come in the dressage. Sweden did finish first in the Team dressage at London as well, but the team were later disqualified. The third rider, Gehnäll Persson, was not an officer, but had been promoted to that rank especially for the Games. Because they had failed to change his outfit, this ruse was found out and the Swedish team was disqualified more than a year after the games. Subsequently, the rule was scrapped.
In 1956 he took the Olympic oath for the participants for the Equestrian events which were held separately at Stockholm because of Australian quarantaine laws.
He was the oldest gold medallist during the 1956 Olympics.
