Tøien Turnforening was a Norwegian sports club from Tøyen, Oslo.
The club saw its heyday in the 1920s and 1930s. Birger Rasmussen was the Norwegian 800 metres champion in 1925,[1] and won a silver medal in the 1500 metres in the same year. Nils Andersen won silver and bronze medals in the 1500 and 5000 metres,[2][3] and was also an Olympian.
In jumps, Rolf Johansen became triple jump champion in 1932[4] whereas Erling Møller won a bronze medal in the standing long jump in 1934.[5] The club arranged the Norwegian championships in standing jumps, at Møllergaten School, in 1954.[6]
Moreover, the club was early in organizing athletics for women. Norway's first known 100 metres record for women was set by Tøien's Annie Grønkvist at Dælenenga stadion in 1922.[7] Norway did not organize women's national championships until 1947.
