Pertti Karppinen 3 Olympic Gold. What a A amazing man 🇫🇮. I remember this when i was kid.

Perhaps the best competition in the single of all time . Karppinen undoubtedly the best.

Don’t think many people understand how much mental and physical torture they’d both be going through with 500m to go.

The olimpic gold was denied to kolbe 2 times for karppinen and 1 for the great thomas lange but he's considered one of the greatest sculler of all times

When I saw that had no idea a few months later I would begin rowing in college, barely having been on any water in my life. It was a subliminal message something about that motion, you could just see he was a cool headed shark waiting. Later, if I saw a guy that tall around boathouse I thought there was no point. Once the coach put me in a pair with a guy 6'7 once who was two years older, I had never rowed a pair. What a day I could not adapt.

Obviously, material doesn't matter. Well done Karppinen.
