Kristian Lindström (born November 4, 1989) is a Swedish curler from Karlstad.[1] He currently plays second for Team Edin.
As a junior curler, Lindström played in three World Junior Curling Championships. His first was the 2007 World Junior Curling Championships playing alternate for the Niklas Edin team which won a silver medal at the event. Lindström then played in the 2009 World Junior Curling Championships throwing last stones for Eriksson's team. The team finished in fourth place after losing to the United States in both the playoffs and the bronze medal game. The Eriksson rink would return to the World Juniors in 2011 with Lindström continuing to throw last stones. The team ran through the round robin in first place, with just one loss before winning both of their playoff games, including the final against Switzerland's Peter de Cruz. Lindström was also a member of the Eriksson rink (this time as third) at the 2013 Winter Universiade where they won a gold medal.
On the World Curling Tour, Lindström has won three events as a member of the Eriksson rink, the 2009 Radisson SAS Oslo Cup, the 2012 Swiss Cup Basel and the 2013 European Masters. The team has played in two Grand Slam events, the 2013 Canadian Open of Curling where they went 1-4, and the 2014 Syncrude National where they made it to the quarter final.
Lindström also coached the Spanish women's team at the 2012 European Curling Championships.
