Perttu Hyvärinen’s competition outfit was sold immediately.
Former top volleyball player and Perttu Hyvärinen’s current manager Olli-Pekka “Lelu” Ojansivu announced Friday night Instagram storiessection, that Hyvärinen’s ski outfit is for sale.
Ojansivu says that after the men’s combined competition, he sent a message to Hyvärinen asking if he could sell the Finnish competition outfit.
– It came from him to let it burn. Then I sold it.
Ojansivu stresses that the sale was not a planned affair.
– No way. I asked if I could have a full injection on the roof ski boots for sale. He said to let it burn, however you want. It was 10 minutes and they were sold.
Ojansivu put the price at 3,000 euros. On Instagram, he referred to the news that Hyvärista is facing a fine of 3,000 euros for violating the athlete contract of the Ski Federation.
The fine threatens because Hyvärinen took out the product of his personal partner after Friday’s combined race and appeared with it in the finish area and in media interviews.
Founder and CEO of the investment company TMR Invest from Kuopio Tuomo Rissanen ended up being the buyer.
– I think even traditional sports need such spontaneous characters who make the sport interesting even for those who don’t necessarily follow the sport otherwise. Perttu is a real interesting athlete and sometimes you can splash when plastering, Rissanen told Iltalehte on Friday evening.

– There would probably have been more, but the person who bought them is such a good guy. I would probably have paid more, but 3,000 was a good price, Ojansivu said about the price.
Ojansivu was not surprised by how quickly the competition outfit was able to sell.
– My own life and career are now confused, so I don’t know if this surprised me in any way.
– Perttu is pretty upset, though.
Hyvärinen was the best Finn in Friday’s race when, despite his fall, he finished tenth.
Ojansivu watched his protégé from the beginning to the end of the competition.
– Ukko is fine, but damn luck. He would certainly have been in better places. I put him that damn well twisted.
