Artur Kukk

Artur Kukk was an Estonian wrestler, speed skater, boxer and sports figure, born on 22 June 1889 and died on 19 April 1958. He is best remembered internationally for competing in the Greco-Roman heavyweight wrestling event at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, where Estonia sent its first Olympic team after independence. His record across wrestling, speed skating and boxing shows the multi-sport habit of early twentieth century Baltic athletes, who often moved between strength, combat and winter disciplines.
