Alfred Johan "Alpo" Asikainen (2 November 1888 – 7 January 1942) was a Finnish wrestler who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics, winning the bronze medal.

[1] Asikainen won the Greco-Roman middleweight event at the 1911 World Wrestling Championships in Helsinki.

[2] At the 1912 Olympics, Asikainen won against his first four opponents, including the eventual winner Claes Johanson.

In the semifinal, he wrestled Estonian Martin Klein,[3] who was forced to represent Russia,[4] for eleven hours and forty minutes (time limits were introduced to wrestling in 1924) on a blisteringly sunny day outdoors in the Stockholm Olympic Stadium.

[5] Asikainen lost by pin, and Klein withdrew from the final due to exhaustion, resulting in Johansson winning the gold medal by default.
