Taavi Peetre (5 July 1983 – 11 September 2010)[1] was an Estonian shot putter and discus thrower.
He represented his country at two Olympic Games (in 2004 and 2008) and also took part in the World Championships in Athletics on two occasions.
[3] Having changed his focus to primarily the shot put, the 2005 season marked a further breakthrough into the senior ranks.
[3] He returned to top form in 2008, throwing over sixty metres in the discus for the first time and putting a season's best of 20.22 m in the shot just prior to the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
In 2009 he regained the national shot put title and gave his best performance at a global event at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics: his mark of 19.91 m was the fifth best of his qualification group, but this was not enough to progress to the final.
