Delete - The fi.wp sources are not great. Based on the name, the Siukkonen book (Urheilukunniamme puolustajat – Suomen olympiaedustajat 1906–2000) sounds like it contains a short description of literally every olympic athlete in Finnish history. It might be fine, but I'd expect it to be a rather short entry. The Tilastopaja website (again, based on the name:
transl. "statistics hut" or something like that) is presumably just stats. A search of the Finnish National Archive's newspaper archive doesn't surface much of interest.
This article by Hufvudstadsbladet and
this article from Helsingin Sanomat (both still under copyright, so access only with a researcher account) are a good examples: a few hits for the name, but the content is just your bog-standard sports event coverage without going to the subject in any real detail. There might be additional sourcing, but we generally disregard
hypothetical sourcing in these discussions. Please ping me if further sources are identified, and I'll happily reconsider. -
