It gives the best summary of "what went wrong" with Matti Nykänen that I have ever read ..Good stuff WLM kiitos.
I found these lines the most sad...
"It was often necessary to explain to Nykänen over and over again why something needed to be done exactly..... It was obvious that the temperamental ski-jumper who had barely finished the mandatory years of school needed outside assistance.
Nykänen's coach Eino Kirjonen asked his old friend Antero Verto, shortly before he died to "take care of the boy".
By the way Maippi tells me that he his "peforming" at her hotel week end after next and all tickets are alreay sold out.
