Sven Agge won the bronze medal in the only official race, the individual , at the 1959 Biathlon World Championships in Courmayeur, behind Vladimir Melanin and Dmitri Sokolow . With Adolf Wiklund and Sture Ohlin , he also won the silver medal in the unofficial relay race with the Swedish relay team behind the representation from the Soviet Union, which was held for the first time as a real relay race at this second world championship. The following year, Agge took part in the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley , which was the first time that biathlon was Olympic. With nine shooting errors and the resulting 18 penalty minutes, which were added to the running time of one hour and 30: 21.7 minutes, the Swede placed 16th out of 30 places in midfield.
