Another Flying Finn?

This person won the 5000m race in 1972 Munich Olympics beating Steve Prefontaine and a host of other accomplished athletes and also won the 10000m after falling down during the race. He went on to win the races again in 1976 and is the only man to have won the two events in two olympics.Who was this person?
