Nils Sandström (9 August 1893 – 17 June 1973) was a Swedish sprinter who competed at the 1920 Summer Olympics.[3] He won a bronze medal in the 4 × 100 m relay, but failed to reach the finals of individual 100 m and 200 m events.[1][4]
Between 1917 and 1925 Sandström collected 23 medals at the Swedish Championships. He was the 1919–20 champion in the 100 m, and won eight titles in the 4 × 100 m (1919–21, 1923) and 4 × 400 m relays (1919–22). He never won the 200 m Swedish title despite holding the national record in this event in 1917–1920.[1]
