Nils Gustav von Kantzow (30 August 1885 – 7 November 1967) was a Swedish gymnast who competed in the 1908 Summer Olympics.[1] He was a member of the Swedish team that won the all-around gold medal.[2] He was born in a noble family and reached the rank of captain in the Swedish Army in 1916.[3]
In 1910 von Kantzow married Carin Axelina Hulda Fock, but they were later separated. Their only child, Thomas von Kantzow, was born in 1913. A few days after their divorce in December 1922, Carin married the German airline pilot Hermann Göring, who later became a leader of the Nazi Party.[3]
