Biography

Eino Löppönen was a Finnish amateur wrestler who was active in the early 1950s. In 1952 Löppönen was one of three Finnish wrestlers to qualify in the 87 kg class for the Helsinki Olympics. At the Games, however, he was only listed as an alternate in the light-heavyweight freestyle and Greco-Roman events, and therefore did not compete. Four years after the Games he finished third in the +87 kg class in Greco-Roman wrestling at the Finnish championships.
