Torsten Ullman (27 July 1908 – 11 May 1993) was a Swedish pistol shooter and entrepreneur, most famous for his gold medal in the 1936 Berlin Olympics,[1] where the Germans were favourites in the free pistol competition but Ullman won by a margin of 15 points.
He entered the first World Championship in 25 m Center-Fire Pistol in 1947, surprisingly with a Smith & Wesson revolver, and won by seven points, causing a worldwide revolver hype.
Ullman was one of the first sport shooters to take practice and preparation to a scientific level, which he himself always claimed was a main reason for his success.
In 1937, he received the Svenska Dagbladet gold medal for the greatest Swedish sports achievement of the year.
His youngest daughter Marie-Louise Ullman won the European Junior Championships in 10 m air pistol in 1992.
