Men's Gymnastics
| 1912 Stockholm | Team, free system

Klaus Uuno Suomela[1] (November 10, 1888 - April 4, 1962) was a prolific Finnish writer. One of his most successful works was the film script on which the popular 1942 film Hopeakihlajaiset ("Silver Engagement") was based. Suomela later worked his script into a novel.[2]

He competed as a gymnast in the 1912 Summer Olympics as part of the Finnish team, which won the silver medal in the gymnastics men's team, free system event. His work was also part of the literature event in the art competition at the 1924 Summer Olympics with a 4-act drama, Milo, Olympian sankari ("Milo, Olympic hero").[3][4]
