On the Move

Sports are pursued in four different ways. The largest group consists of spectators, followed by those involved in organizing sports activities, a large number of volunteers handling various officiating tasks at competitions, and finally, the athletes themselves.

I belong to the latter two groups. I participate in master athletics competitions; my most recent medal is a Finnish Championship silver in the decathlon from last September. Four days later, I won World Championship gold in weightlifting in Rovaniemi. During the summer, I orienteer weekly. In officiating roles, I’ve been involved in competitions organized by Espoon Tapiot. I’ve referee licences in two sports.
