Johan Gustaf Anton Gustafsson (6 February 1877 – 16 November 1943) was a Swedish athlete who won a bronze medal in the tug of war competition at the 1906 Intercalated Games. Gustafsson was a Swedish weightlifting champion in 1905–1907, and it is unclear why he did not compete in weightlifting at the 1906 Games. [1] [2]
