In 1988 Loof started sailing Finn to qualify for the 1992 Summer Olympics. He finished fifth in Finn in the 1992 Summer Olympics and the 1996 Summer Olympics. In 2000, he won a bronze medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics. In addition he won three Finn World Championships and finished on the podium another four times.

In the decisive race Loof and Salminen made a good effort, while the other boats helmed by Iain Percy and Robert Scheidt were guarding each other.
