[2] Saulmann was a five-time Estonian champion in track and field events including the sprints and the 400 metres hurdles.

He also held the Estonian records in the 150 m, 300 m, 400 m and 400 m hurdles.

He did not start the 100 m and competed in only the first rounds of the longer sprints, although his estimated time of 51.6 in the 400 m heat was a national record.

Following his retirement from active competition he entered sports administration, serving as a club treasurer and a representative to the Estonian Olympic Committee.

He died aged 41 in his native Tallinn in 1936 and was buried at Rahumäe Cemetery.
