Ivar Valentin Johansson (31 January 1903 – 4 August 1979) was a Swedish wrestler who competed at the 1928, 1932 and 1936 Summer Olympics.

For this purpose he shed five kilograms of bodyweight by fasting and sweating in a sauna, yet relatively easily won all four bouts.

[1][4] Johansson grew up in a rural area near Norrköping, where he built his strength by manual labor at a farm.

He then moved to Norrköping city to work as a police officer and then as a wrestling coach.

The annual wrestling award "Ivars Guldsko" was established in Sweden in his honor after his death.
