Kaljo-Feliks Raag (3 June 1892 – 10 April 1967) was an Estonian heavyweight weightlifter who won a bronze medal at the 1922 World Championships and placed seventh at the 1924 Summer Olympics.[1][2] He won the national heavyweight title in 1925 and 1927 and set six national records.[3]
After retiring from competitions Raag acted as a weightlifting coach, referee and official. Besides wrestling he was known as a singer and theater actor. He performed as an actor at the Valga theatre from 1919 until 1922 and as a choral singer and soloist at the Estonia Theatre from 1928 until 1933. He appeared in two Estonian silent films: Õnnelik korterikriisi lahendus (1924), directed by Konstantin Märska, and Tšeka komissar Miroštšenko (1925), directed by Paul Sehnert.[3]
