Arvo Jaakko Haavisto (7 January 1900 – 22 April 1977) was a Finnish wrestler. He won a bronze medal at the 1924 Olympics and a gold medal in 1928, both in freestyle wrestling.[1]
Haavisto took up wrestling in 1918 and won four Finnish titles: in 1925–1927 in freestyle and in 1925 in Greco-Roman wrestling. After retiring from competitions he worked as a wrestling coach and referee, attending the 1936 Olympics in this capacity. Since 1992 an annual Greco-Roman wrestling tournament has been held in his honor in his native Ilmajoki.[1]
