Dancer Saana Akiola was injured on dance practice on Monday. He has to take a break from dancing.
Akiola tells Iltalehti about the accident. Akiola was in practice with her dance couple when she accidentally hit her legs on the roof pipelines during a trick.
– I don’t really know what happened, but then I came down badly down my ankle. My ankle included a bump.
Akiola kept a cold ankle for a moment and went to the doctor. He does not yet know the diagnosis of his ankle, but he has already gone to magnetic resonance imaging.
Akiola has a medical time on Monday. He hopes that then he will be able to find out more about the situation in the ankle.
– At the moment I can’t walk. Now I try to be as conscientious as possible to get the foot in order quickly.
Akiola now has sticks in use and supported the ankle.

Saana Akiola is a familiar dancer dancing with the Stars program. Akiola and his dance couple Benjamin Peltonen won TTK in 2022. Akiola quit TTK in the fall of 2023. Atte Kajova
Akiola is a professional dancer. Injury also means that his income ends.
– I’m a dancer and I’ve never done any other job. I was involved in the dance dance tour of the Dance Stars and had booked it all spring. Now you have to come up with something else.
Five years ago, Akiola suffered from evil mononucleosis. He told Letat that time how the disease raised the high fever and made his face and the throat swell.
Akiola said that mononucleosis caused him liver inflammation and his spleen had expanded. Akiola was banned from exercise so that the spleen would not tear.

Now the injury of the ankle resembles Akiola for those times because he is financially in the same situation.
Akiola’s spring roads were closed on the tour and teaching dance.
– There are always entrepreneurs and athletes that if something happens, then what they do. I tried to apply for myself after mononucleosis to help in this situation, Akiola says.
– But I was not awarded it. In the insurance company, it was considered that dancing is too risky to grant me insurance.
Positive attitude
Akiola has gone ankle before, but now he injured it for the first time during dancing.
– But it always hurts. Especially when dancing, it is understandable that you have high heels. The high heel shoe is not very sturdy around the ankle.
Akiola says he is particularly annoyed by the fact that the tour is missed. However, he tries to think positively.
– Things could be worse. Although annoying, I try to be positive. However, these are such things that are still being improved. There is nothing for injury and that was not my cause, Akiola sums up.
– Now you just have to believe that this is something. I do have a lot of plans, so maybe this is a place to calm down now. I try to take things forward once there is time.
