Egil Danielsen
Egil Danielsen (9 November 1933 – 29 July 2019) was a Norway, Norwegian javelin thrower. He competed at the 1956 and 1960 Olympics and won the gold medal in 1956. Danielsen, who used an old-type wooden javelin, did poorly in the 1956 final, which was led by his Polish friend Janusz Sidło.

Danielsen finished tenth at the 1954 European Championships in Athletics, 1954 European Championships and won a silver medal in 1958 European Championships in Athletics, 1958, behind Sidło. He became Norwegian champion in 1953–1957. Danielsen was an avid cross-country skier before changing to javelin throw.
