Aki Parviainen’s body was destroyed.
Aki Parviainen won the World Championship gold in Seville in the summer of 1999. PDO
– In addition to the Achilles tendons, the shoulder and knee started to be in such a condition that the javelin throw should have been stopped completely if you plan to retire unharmed.
I saw the picture Harry Halme fresh Manager– in his book world champion Aki Parviainen problems already years before stopping.
– In Edmonton 2001, the shoulder was at the point where something had to be done. The physiotherapist who was on the way manipulated the shoulder to numb it so that Aki could throw.
Parviainen threw for World Championship silver in Edmonton. The career ended five years later.
– (Sports doctor) Ilkka Tulikouran the task remained to write Aki out of elite sports. Tulikoura wrote a letter to the insurance company in which he assured that Aki cannot continue throwing the javelin, Halme says in the book.
– This was the beginning of eight years of insurance hell.
The dispute with the Pohjola insurance company ended up in the Supreme Court.
– According to the KKO’s decision, Aki was entitled to compensation because the impact injury to his right knee in 2003 resulted in the inability to continue his career as a javelin thrower at the latest, Halme writes.
– Pohjola’s view was that Aki had several injuries, but none of them alone caused the inability to work.
According to Halmee, Parviainen had invested around 5,000 euros annually in insurance premiums.
– In 2013, with his income of 393,773 euros, Aki was the number one in all of Joensuu in terms of taxable earnings. The insurance compensation was significant.
The flock glows Manager– in the book Halme’s intransigence.
– I wouldn’t have been able to handle the eight-year insurance battle myself. Harri insisted that the lawyers continued again and again.
