Martti Leo Tolamo (born Topelius; 21 February 1907 – 14 March 1940) was a Finnish athlete.
[2] At the 1930 Finnish Championships at Tampere he won the pentathlon with 4011 points, an unofficial world record.
[2] He also triumphed at that year's International University Games, scoring 3979 points to secure gold ahead of Latvia's Jānis Dimza.
[3] Tolamo's world record was broken the following year by compatriot javelin thrower Matti Sippala;[2] however, with modern scoring tables Tolamo's score would have remained the record, and it eventually re-emerged as a national pentathlon best, only broken in 2007.
[3] He broke his own national long jump record in September 1934, in another dual meet (between Finland and Germany); he jumped 7.51 m and defeated both Wilhelm Leichum, who had won the European championship the previous week, and future Olympic silver medalist Luz Long.
