Kuopio Ski jumping
Originally uploaded by Ant G.
I was once interviewed just under that ski jump next to the tower by Savon sanomat. I never understood what would make someone invent a sport, especially like this one. --"Hey Pekka, let's ski really fast down this hill and when we get to the bottom flatten ourselves out and see who can make it furthest down the flatter continuation of the hill" --"OK Juha, that sounds like an amazing idea."
And of course you've all heard of the famous Finnish ski jumper, Mr. Matti Nykänen? Worth googling for a good laugh if you are bored.
