An ex-hockey player who participated in the 60-meter running competition of the Tähtie Taisto match against Sweden Jere Karalahti took all the joy out of the event.
– It’s great that athletics is doing well in this way. This Finland-Sweden international match is always so traditional.
Karalahti finished fourth. In the goal area, he threw his shirt into the stands of the Olympic Stadium.
– Of course, if the supporters are asked to show their searches. Yes, we have to leave a memory for them, Karalahti laughed after his run to IL.
The Men’s Battle of the Stars was won by a radio host and actor Janne Saarinen at 8,12.
– Damn, it was sad when I was fourth off the podium. The main thing is that we are doing a good thing in supporting sports for children and young people, Karalahti said.
The background of the celebrity race is a charity project in which Dinox, in cooperation with the Finnish Sports Federation, donates athletics equipment to those who need it.
Karalahti took the event in stride. Before dawn, he had only been lounging in the hot tub at home.
Calculated time elapsed
The ex-hockey player is expecting an addition to the family at any moment. His spouse Nanna Karalahti announced already a few days ago the calculated time has arrived.
– The calculated time was already three days over, and there are still no signs. Let’s wait, they usually come out of there, Karalahti said.
There has been a discussion about the baby’s name. Karalahti wants the letter x to be included with the new child as well.
– In the previous ones in Jax and in Alexia are the letters x. They are still trying to continue the X-team, but it is a bit difficult to find such a name for the girl. Yes, it can still be found there.
