Ture Rosvall

Ture Rosvall was a rower from Malmö RK. Together with two of his club mates and two rowers from Helsingborgs RK, Rosvall took part in the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm as part of the Roddklubben af 1912 team. In the inriggers coxed fours, the boat eliminated the two Norwegian boats in the first two rounds, but lost in the final against the Danish team from Nykjøbings paa Falster to win silver. All five team members also rowed in the eights. In this event the team of the Roddklubben af 1912 lost to the eventual silver medallists from the New College, Oxford in the quarter-final.

Before the final in the inriggers coxed fours, Rosvall was plagued by an abscess on his left leg. His team-mate Bruhn-Möller was of the opinion that he should not compete. But Jack Farrell, the English coach of the Swedes, himself a successful rower for the London Rowing Club in the time before the revival of the Olympic Games, did not hesitate - he wanted the best four rowers to compete.

Rosvall was the son of a baker. He started his professional career as an office assistant. Later he became an engineer and managed for many years a Swedish match factory located in Budapest. For his services he was appointed Knight of the Vasa Order in 1938. He married Klara Margareta Södermark in 1923 and had two daughters and one son.
