Christfried Burmeister

Christfried Burmeister (later Christfried Puurmeister, 26 May 1898 in Reval, Estonia – 12 July 1965 in Bradford, England) was an Estonian speed skater and bandy player who competed in the 1928 Winter Olympics.

He was also sent to take part of the speed skating event of the 1924 Winter Olympics in Chamonix but later withdrawn.

The message about his withdrawal wasn't sent by Estonian sports officials to the Olympics organizers so Estonian flag was still represented at the opening ceremony.
