Finn Tugwell (born 18 March 1976) is a Danish table tennis player who currently plays for Roskilde BTK.[3][4] He paired up with Danish Michael Maze in doubles, with whom he won the bronze medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics, beating the Russian pair Dmitry Mazunov/Alexey Smirnov.[5][6]

His highest world ranking was 65th in October 2004.[7][8]

Forgery

[edit]

In 2009, Finn Tugwell was given a suspended 40 day prison sentence for document forgery.[9] He had been driving around with a parking card for the disabled in his window that he wasn't eligible for. While in court, Finn explained that he had picked up the sign and put it in his window temporarily because he wanted to find some place to hand it in.
