Career
In a fantastic evening of 1957, in the Finnish city of Turku, there was an extraordinary event (but also a strange coincidence), for the sport of athletics. Three Finnish athletes have gone under the previous world record of 1500 meters, all three were called by first name Olavi and all three were born in 1933. Foreign this reason, the three athletes are today remembered as "the three Olavis".
1500 metres: 3:40.42 - Turku, 11 July 1957.
