Career

In February 1951 he became the first non-Norwegian to win the youth ski jumping competition in Holmenkollen, Oslo.

On 2 March 1951 he set a new world record at 139 metres (456 ft) on Heini-Klopfer-Skiflugschanze in Oberstdorf, West Germany, which remained unbeaten until 1961.[1][2][3]

He competed in the individual large hill event at the 1952 Winter Olympics and tied for 18th place.[4][5]

Luiro suffered from diabetes, and died of lung tuberculosis in 1955, aged 23. His younger brother Erkki Luiro was an Olympic Nordic combined competitor, while his nephew Tauno Käyhkö became an Olympic ski jumper.[4]
