Lindén began wrestling at the age of eleven, and competitively in 1904, when he won the Häme Province lightweight championship.[1]
He won Finnish wrestling championship in Greco-Roman under 60 kg class in 1908.[2][3]
He won bronze at the 1908 Olympics, which was a single-elimination tournament:
| Round | Opponent | Result |

Win by fall at 2:33 |
| Second round |  Carl Carlsen (DEN) |
Win by fall at 4:15 |

His Olympic medal was auctioned for 3 500 euros in 2015.[5]
He won the Russian championship twice. In 1909, it was split between him, Emil Väre and Nikolay Orlov. In 1910, he won it exclusively.[6]
Soon after, neuropathic pain forced him to retire from wrestling.[7]
He returned to wrestling by taking part in professional events in Port Arthur, Ontario in 1923, training and coaching at the Nahjus Athletic Club.[8]
Diving
He won the Finnish Workers' Sports Federation championship in plain platform jumps in 1929.[9][10]
