Eduard Hiiop (19 December 1889 – 24 August 1941) was an Estonian figure skater and athlete. He participated in the 1928 Winter Olympics as the flag bearer for Estonia[1] and competed in 1936, placing 18th with Helene Michelson in pair skating.[2]
Hiiop started training in skating, gymnastics, athletics and cycling while living in Tartu in 1908. He then moved to Tallinn, and in 1912–13 focused on figure skating, tennis, and athletics: winning multiple Estonian titles in all these disciplines. He competed at the Estonian and Russian championships in most athletic events, including the decathlon. After retiring as a competitive athlete, he worked as a coach and sports functionary in Helsinki (1937–39) and Tallinn (1940–41). In August 1941 he was arrested by the Soviet authorities and presumedly died the same month.[3][4]
