Life is great. You cannot appreciate the ups
without the downs. Even though this wasn't quite the "grande finale" I
might have imagined I am very thankful for all that this sport has given
to me and all the great memories I have made which I will remember for
the rest of my life. It was fantastic living the life of an athlete and I
encourage everyone who has the opportunity to take the chance. This
is what life is all about. I have achieved things I never dreamt
possible in the very beginning. Especially I want to thank all the great
people I have met along the way and the friends I have made. You have
made this a very special journey. I hope to stay in touch with as many
as possible of you. I am also very thankful for having been able to
represent one of my home countries. It was the greatest honor and I was
always proud to wear the Finnish jersey and those are the most special
memories. I am happy I was able to do it one last time. I wish you all
the best of luck. Hyvää Suomi!
