==Sailing career==
He started out in 1920 as a crew member on the Swedish boat ''Sif'', where he won the gold medal in the 40 m<sup>2</sup> class and eight years later he conquered the bronze medal, as a crew member on the ''Sylvia'' in the 8 metre class. In 1932 he won his second gold medal, this time being on the crew of the ''Bissbi'', in the 6 metre class. At the Olympic Games in Berlin, 1936, he did not win a medal after finishing fourth in the 8 metre class competition. He finished his Olympic career in 1948 on the 6 metre class with his fourth medal, and second bronze, as part of the crew on the ''Ali Baba II''.
==Yacht designer==
In the early 1920s, the Holm boatyard at Gamleby designed and built a number of boats in the Skerry Cruiser (or Square Metre Rule) Class. In the later 1920s and 1930s several more designs came to fruition built to the International or Metre Rule, particularly in the 6m, 8m and 10m classes.<ref name=svanevit>{{cite web |url=http://www.svanevit.de/Tore_Holm.html |title=Tore Holms Varv |work=svanevit.de |access-date=12 April 2018}}</ref>
