Matti Nykänen, my HERO

That he was. I started my ski jumping dream at age of 7. And Matti Nykänen was the man. It was year 1984 and there were two shy guys, Jarkko and Janne. Maybe somebody recognises Janne, but that's not the issue. Matti was the man and now he's in jail. And for reason I must add but still. He's there, the man I and Janne admired...

Today Janne is the second best ski jumper in Finland (almost in world) and I, well I would say i'm well off. But I wouldn't see or even think of Janne doing those things, not even myself...Poor Matti, you had it all and you were my idol...I salute you!
