Simeon Galvez Toribio (September 3, 1905 – June 5, 1969) was a Filipino high jumper and politician.
In 1928, he cleared the same height as the silver and bronze medalists Benjamin Hedges and Claude Ménard, but lost the jump-off and placed fourth.
[2][5] According to author Jorge Afable, Toribio could have won the gold medal, if not only for the "call of nature".
Toribio, who once made the jump, failed to overcome it the second time because he was distressed by call of nature.
[1] Toribio was the recipient of the 1930 Helms World Trophy for being Asia's greatest athlete, the only Filipino to be awarded this honor.
