As such he was a grandnephew of Mads Langaard, and a first cousin once removed of Christian Langaard and a second cousin of Johan Henrik Langaard.[2][3]
He represented the club Oslo TK. He participated at the Summer Olympics in 1912, 1920 and 1924. In 1912 he placed fifth in doubles, and in 1920 he placed fifth in doubles together with Jack Nielsen.[1]
