Jouko Sihveri Törmänen was a Finnish ski jumper, born on 10 April 1954 and died on 3 January 2015. His best-known success was at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, where he won the gold medal in the individual large hill event. Olympedia lists his birth and death as both in Rovaniemi in Lapland, and records that he competed at the Olympic Games for Finland. The English Wikipedia article on him is brief and names no other titles, so this entry records only the Olympic win that the article states.
