Carl Johan Silfverstrand (9 October 1885 – 2 January 1975) was a Swedish track and field athlete and gymnast who competed in the 1908 and 1912 Summer Olympics. In 1908, he finished tenth in the pole vault and twentieth long jump. In 1912, he was part of the Swedish gymnastics team that won the gold medal in the Swedish system event.[1]
Silfverstrand competed for Stockholm clubs, though he lived in Helsingborg. As an athlete, he represented Djurgårdens IF and as a gymnast, he represented Stockholms GF.[1] He finished third behind Ed Archibald in the pole jump event at the British 1908 AAA Championships.[2] [3]
