Carl-Erik Eriksson
Carl-Erik Mauritz "Jätten" Eriksson (born May 20, 1930 in Stockholm) is a Swedish bobsledder who was the first person to compete in Bobsleigh at six Olympic Games (1964 to 1984).
The only other bobsledder to compete at six Olympics is Italian Gerda Weissensteiner, although only two of her six appearances were in Bobsleigh (the other four were luge). Eriksson was flag-bearer for Sweden at the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck.
In the Bobsled Two-Man Sled, Eriksson came sixth (with Jan Johansson) at the 1972 Winter Olympics and ninth (with Kenth Rönn) at the 1976 Winter Olympics.
