Biography

Leo Suni competed at the Stockholm 1912 Olympic Games in platform diving and plain high diving but was eliminated in round one in both events. At Finnish championships, he placed third in platform diving (1910, 1920) and in springboard diving in 1911. In 1916, newspapers mentioned that he performed a “tiger dive” from a 15 m high platform during a promotion event for aquatic sports.
