• Joe said:

  Here is another Bain photo of Finnish wrestler Nestori Tuominen.

• Harry Angstrom said:

  photo title seems to be mis-spelled here (compared to what is written on the negative) and compared to other Bain photo cited above.

• The Library of Congress said:

  Thanks for spotting the typo. We'll fix the source data and reload the description.

  Nestori won the Greco-Roman wrestling gold in 1911 in the 67 kg weight class. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1911_World_Wrestling_Championships

• George Oates said:

  I had a look for this chap on the web - trying to work out what sport he played. I think there's a typo in your title here - "Tuominen"? - but it seems like his name might be "Tueminen," and in fact, there's another LOC record that says as much.

• Joe said:

  This is probably Finnish wrestler Nestori Tuominen, who won the gold medal (note: annoying popup ad with audio at that link) in the 67.0kg class in the Greco-Roman style at the Wrestling World Championships in 1911. Also, note that the surname is spelled correctly by Bain on this negative.

• George Oates said:

  Righto... misspelled in other places then :)

• The Library of Congress said:

  whyaduck: Thanks for the heads up! You're correct, this is Nestori Tuominen, a Finnish Greco-Roman wrestler. We're going to change the source data and reload the description here in Flickr to match. (And we'll be fixing that other LOC record depicting him as well, George!)
