From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
C. E. John Johansen (February 26, 1883 – October 15, 1947) was a Norwegian sprinter. He represented Ørnulf IF in Kristiania and later SK Brage in Trondheim.
Participating at the 1908 Summer Olympics, Johansen placed second in his first round 100 metres heat with a time of 11.7 seconds. His loss to Robert Cloughen, who had run the course in 11.0 seconds, resulted in Johansen's elimination from competition. Johansen also competed in the javelin throw and freestyle javelin throw events, albeit with unknown results.[1] He became Norwegian champion in 100 metres in 1906 and 1909.[2]
