David Toivo Teivonen (born 6 June 1889, Vyborg, Grand Duchy of Finland, Russian Empire; died 1937) was a Finnish gymnast who competed at the 1908 Summer Olympics men's artistic individual all-around event. His score or rank were not officially recorded, and it is only known that he was not the best Finn in the event, meaning he did not place in the top 75.
He received the Mercantile Marine War Medal.[1]
He moved to Soviet Union in the 1920s and became its citizen in 1937.[2] He died that year.[3]
