Eduard Hiiop

Eduard Hiiop (19 December 1889 – 24 August 1941) was an Estonian figure skater and athlete.

He participated in the 1928 Winter Olympics as the flag bearer for Estonia[1] and competed in 1936, placing 18th with Helene Michelson in pair skating.

[2] Hiiop started training in skating, gymnastics, athletics and cycling while living in Tartu in 1908.

He then moved to Tallinn, and in 1912–13 focused on figure skating, tennis, and athletics: winning multiple Estonian titles in all these disciplines.

After retiring as a competitive athlete, he worked as a coach and sports functionary in Helsinki (1937–39) and Tallinn (1940–41).
