A beautiful Finn - Markus Pöyhönen

Last summer Helsinki hosted the 10th IAAF World Championships in Athletics. Sprinter Markus Pöyhönen was one of the guys in the Finnish 4x100 metres relay team. He is now 27 years old. First a picture of him a couple of years back, surrounded by young admirers. The second photo is more recent.



Markus with teammate Jarkko Ruostekivi, after the race in which the team failed to qualify for the final.

They are still posing happily for the photographers, here with Tommi Hartonen. The fourth guy in the team was Nghi Tran.

Watch the guys being interviewed (in Finnish!!) for the Finnish Yle TV-channel just after these pictures were taken.
