Special forcesNoora Toivo, who took part in the TV show, shows on Instagram the huge bruises she got during the filming of the show.
– This is what it looked like on trial 9 when I got home. So the bruises have almost healed, that is, I had really much worse bruises. My legs looked really sick there on swimming day when I saw them in the mirror, Toivo writes.
The former hurdler and current sports reporter for Yle received a lot of instructions from the doctor after he got home.
– Doctor Antti called me again and said that the 3-week ban on movement came after the camp, because it was such a harsh set on our bodies.
In addition to the bruises, Toivo lost weight during the filming trip. He told in his Instagram stories having immediately ordered chicken wings and hash browns at home.
– I lost 4 kg in the camp and 2 kg in the next 3 weeks, even though I was constantly eating junk food. The feeling of hunger lasted almost a month, he wonders.
Toivo finished fourth in the competition.
Fans and Finnish athletics stars were sold on Toivo’s guts and competitive performances. Hearts rained from, among others, Lotta Harala, Nooralotta Neziri and Miia Sillman.
– You were amazing! Neziri beamed in the comments.
