OLLI TARVAINEN
Birthday: 1993
Where are you from: Jyväskylä, Finland
Sport: CrossFit
When did you start: 2015
Instagram: @ollitarvainen
How & why did you start:
I stopped playing floorball and I wanted to do something new & different. CrossFit was not my first choice because I had a long background in group sport, and first I thought CrossFit more like Body Pump type group training. It wasn’t until my parents persuaded me to try out and signed in for an OnRamp course.
Your coolest sport memory:
In elementary school, I lost in the country skiing competition by one second. I practiced a lot and wanted to improve and next year, I won by one minute.
Your biggest goal:
After some injuries, I want to learn to train in a way that doesn’t break me. I’m not obsessed with qualifying for competitions but I want to listen to my body. My biggest aim is to train without injuries.
Motto:
You don’t need to make coffee because of me.
- Hunting is my hobby.
- I love to be in nature (peace for soul).
- I love plants! I have green plants, I have planted tomatoes and chilis.
- I’m obsessed with planting oaks.
- I’m dreaming of moving to Lapland (for a couple of years).
- I’m dreaming of owning a piece of forest (my girlfriend is asking, what about an apartment?).
- I drink my coffee with cream.
- I eat mustard with almost every meal.
- I love karaoke and I always suggest it as a weekend activity.
- When I train, I listen to schlager music.
