At the 1920 Summer Olympics he was entered in the 100 m, 200 m and 400 m events. He did not start the 100 m and competed in only the first rounds of the longer sprints, although his estimated time of 51.6 in the 400 m heat was a national record.[1] He also represented Estonia in bandy nine times in 1916–1918. Following his retirement from active competition he entered sports administration, serving as a club treasurer and a representative to the Estonian Olympic Committee. He died aged 41 in his native Tallinn in 1936.[2]
