karl emil lindgren -lrb- born 4 may 1985 in falun -rrb- is a swedish professional mountain biker .
riding the sport for more than 15 years , lindgren has won ten swedish national championship titles in men 's mountain biking -lrb- both under the men 's junior and elite categories -rrb- , and later represented his nation sweden at the 2008 summer olympics .
in 2009 , lindgren reached the summit of his mountain biking career by grabbing a first-place trophy and a yellow jersey at the afxentia stage race , also known as the `` sunshine cup '' , in cyprus .
lindgren currently trains and races professionally for the 2013 season on the giant pro xc team , although he has appeared short stints on bianchi , full-dynamix , de brink-ten tusscher , and cycling teams .
lindgren qualified for the swedish squad , along with his teammate and two-time olympian fredrik kessiakoff , in the men 's cross-country race at the 2008 summer olympics in beijing by receiving one of the nation 's two available berths from the swedish cycling federation -lrb- -rrb- and the international cycling union -lrb- uci -rrb- , based on his best performance at the world cup series , world and european championships , and mountain biking world series .
lindgren could not upgrade a much stellar ride to complete a 4.8-km sturdy , treacherous cross-country course , as he decided to end his course with only two laps left and a thirty-eighth place finish because of bike problems .
