At the 1920 Olympic Games, Tuulos won a gold medal in the
triple jump. The 14.50-meter jumps he made during the qualifying round were counted for the main event and were enough for the win. Tuulos won the British
AAA Championships title in the triple jump event and finished third behind
Charles Hoff in the long jump event at the
1922 AAA Championships. Tuulos won bronze medals at the
1924 and
1928 Olympics. In the long jump, his best result was a fourth place at the
1924 Olympics. Tuulos improved the
European record in triple jump twice: on 20 July 1919 in
Tampere with a result of 15.30 meters and on 6 July 1923 in
Borås with 15.48 metres. The latter result stayed as the European record for over sixteen years, until
Kaare Strøm jumped 15.49 metres in 1939. Tuulos also won 12 Finnish titles, nine in the triple jump (1919–25, 1927–28), two in the long jump (1921, 1923), and one in the high jump (1923). Tuulos was the uncle of the Olympic figure skater
Kalle Tuulos. He died in Tampere, aged 72. ==References==
