Bergström qualified for his first and only Swedish squad in the last Olympic running target competition at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[4] He finished behind U.S. shooter and three-time Olympian Adam Saathoff in a runner-up position at the ISSF World Cup meet a year earlier in Suhl, Germany to secure an Olympic berth for Sweden, and eventually join with fellow marksman Emil Andersson for the national team.[5][6] Bergstrom marked a steady 286 in the slow-target portion and 285 in the fast-moving round to accumulate a total score of 571 points in the qualifying round, shutting him out of the Olympic final to twelfth in a 19-shooter field.[7][8]
At the 2009 World Running Target Championships in Vierumäki, Finland, Bergström held off a strenuous challenge from Russia's Igor Kolessov to capture his first ever Worlds medal in a bronze medal duel 20 to 19, finishing third at 391 points.[9]
