Carl-Erik Asplund (14 September 1923 – 8 January 2024) was a Swedish speed skater who won a bronze medal in the 10000 m event at the 1952 Olympics. In the 1500 metres event he finished fourth and in the 5000 metres competition he finished sixth.[1]
Asplund specialised in long distances and won medals in the 5000 and 10000 m at European and world championships. He never finished within the podium overall; in 1951 he was fourth at the European Championships and sixth at the world championships. Nationally he won nine Swedish titles: 1500 m (1951–1953), 3000 m (1951–1952), 5000 m (1951–1952) and 10,000 m (1951, 1953). In 1953, he won the discontinued Nordic championship, having finished second in 1951.[1][2]
