Orienteering is a big sport in the Nordic countries. You have already seen the winners of the 25manna race, Halden from Norway. Today I will show you three photos with a Finnish connection. First up is Anni-Maija Fincke from the Finnish team Tampereen Pyrintö. Anni-Maija ran the last leg for her team, and they finished in second place. Pyrintö is the girl in the background. The girl in the foreground is Erica Andersson from Lunds OK. Second photo shows members of the Tampereen Pyrintö club celebrating and posing for the media . On the third photo you can see Juha from another Finnish club, Turun Suunnistajat, or if it is Turun Metsänkävijät. I met him as he was making his way back to his teams tent after he had finished his leg. Juha was very tired and had a bad hangover, not a good combination for an athlete I think!
Cheery looking team!
ReplyDeleteA Finn with black hair? I think not ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnother triple crown of portraits.
ReplyDeleteAre you saying that the Finns failed to finish first?
ReplyDeleteSheesh!
Love the photos, Steffe!
bravo pour la première photo, on voit toute la force et la volonté du coureur
ReplyDeleteThe Finnish team at the finish line. Sorry, couldn't help it.
ReplyDeleteCan you get the name of the babe in the background wearing shades for me, Steffe? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove these colorful action shots. By the way, you've piqued my curiosity. I'd love to see your Coke photo and learn how to make money from a hobby.
ReplyDeleteSome "quality" jokes here!
