Olympics + Helsinki

With the upcoming summer Olympic games and Singapore playing host to the Youth Olympics in 2010, I was just wondering if I had ever taken any Olympic-related picture anywhere?

Umm (running through album pages)…here it is!

The statue of Paavo Nurmi, standing outside the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki, Finland.

Paavo Nurmi, one of Finland’s greatest long-distance runner, won 9 golds at the Olympics in the 1920s and set more than 20 world records. Wow!

Picture taken on: 31 November 1997
