Tuffield A. Latour

Tuffield A. Latour was an American bobsledder who competed in the late 1940s. He finished ninth in the two-man event at the 1948 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz.

Latour's grandson, also named Tuffield "Tuffy" (born 1968), later became a bobsledder for the US in the 1990s and coach, leading the American women as coach to gold in the two-woman event at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
