Sports: Kyykkä

My interested in kyykkä peaked in school, when we had a few classes of traditional Finnish sports, and one of them was playing kyykkä. Since then I've played several times in the academic World Championship games and other tournaments with varying success.

I've played mainly in two teams, first I was forming the HTTOS-Antit team, and I played in that team for a few years. In the spring of '02 I joined the WiO Kyykkä-club as the HTTOS-Antit was slowly winding its activities down.

Here are a few photos from the 1999-2000 winter training season for the 2000 Academic World Champioship tournament.
