Ossi Mildh

Sven Osvald "Ossi" Mildh (12 May 1930 – 16 September 2015[1]) was a Finnish hurdler.

[2] At the 1954 European Championships in Bern he won an unexpected bronze medal in the 400 m hurdles in 51.5.

[4] He won another bronze in the 4 × 400 metres relay as part of the Finnish team; Finland originally finished fourth, but moved up a spot when Great Britain was disqualified.

[5] He never managed to qualify from the first round; although he ran 52.19 in the hurdles at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, it was only good enough for third in his heat behind Yuriy Lituyev and Gert Potgieter, and only the top two made it to the semi-finals.
