Lundgren completed his mandatory military service
in his native Sweden at the Amphibious Ranger School. He left this
elite marine unit (Kustjägarna) with the rank of conscript corporal.
Lundgren holds a 3rd Dan (3rd Degree Black Belt) in Kyokushin Karate
and won the European championships in 1980 and 1981 as well as a
heavyweight tournament in Australia in 1982 [5]. He was also captain
of the Swedish Kyokushin
Karate team, and was a formidable challenger
at the 1979 World Open Tournament (arranged by the Kyokushin Karate
Organization) when he was only a green belt.
Lundgren was selected to serve as the Team Leader of the 1996 U.S.
Olympic Modern pentathlon Team during the Atlanta Games where he
coordinated planning and other details between the team and the United
States Olympic Committee. He is actively involved in promoting the
image of the sport. "Over the past few years, my involvement with
modern pentathlon has grown from pure interest to an opportunity to
raise the visibility of the sport, increase recruitment of young
talent and make sure that this event, originated by the founder of the
Olympics, Baron de Coubertin, will remain in the Games," Lundgren has
said
