Achievements

Ivan Lund competed in four Olympic Games. In 1952 in Helsinki, he competed in all individual and team competitions with the foil, epee and sabre, but did not reach the finals in any competition. Four years later in Melbourne he was eliminated with the Sword again in the preliminary round of the singles and with the team, also in 1960 in Rome in the foil singles and with the Epee team. At the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Lund, who was the flag bearer of the Australian delegation at the opening ceremony, competed individually and with the team with the foil and the epee. In all competitions he did not make it past the first round.

Lund won a total of 13 medals at the Commonwealth Games between 1950 and 1962, winning gold three times, twice in the eoee singles and once with the epee team.[2] He also won six silver medals and four bronze medals, of which he also won several with the foil and the sabre.
