Annimari Korte calls for consistency and transparency in support decisions.

Annimari Korte appeals to the administrative court about the sports grants awarded by the Ministry of Education and Culture (OKM). Aituri told about the solution on his Instagram account.
Korte, who holds the Finnish women’s 100-meter hurdles record, did not receive a grant at all. According to him, however, it is not only about the own support amount.
– This is not just about my 10,000 euros and why athletes a few years younger got it with the same or worse results, but about everyone should be treated equally, without discrimination, and decisions should be predictable and justified, he wrote on Instagram.
– In sports, the results are facts and subsidies should go based on them, not some people’s opinions.

Korte says that he consulted lawyers from morning to night and made a table of statistics and rankings. At the same time, he wrote a complaint to the administrative court.
– I hope that even though this has caused me sleepless nights and legal costs, this would promote equal treatment of athletes in the future and consistency and transparency in decisions.
– I want to coach in the future and I want my athletes to never even have to think about having to fight for their legal protection.
Iltalehti could not reach Kortte to comment on the case.
Strong criticism
PASI LEISMA
Korte is not the only top athlete who was left without a scholarship. Also Nooralotta Neziri, Samuli Samuelsson and Samuel Purola were left empty-handed.
Reetta Hurske and Viivi Lehikoinen received only half of the grant from OKM, i.e. 10,000 euros.
In February, Lehikoinen communicated to Iltalehti that he was dissatisfied with the support decision. In his opinion, the decisions showed that there was no real attempt to evaluate the things mentioned in the criteria, such as the results of a larger sample and the development of results.
– The individual result is decisive, even if the international level of that day is weaker. Within athletics alone, putting field and running sports in the same basket causes problems, because there are big differences in the international level and scope of the sports, Lehikoinen communicated.
– It would be great if the grant was not a reward for success, as the decision-makers regularly deny.
Lehikoinen ran in the 400-meter hurdles EC final in Munich last summer and improved the Finnish record for the distance on several occasions.
