I&#8217;m doing this as a representative of FightBack association. This is such an honor, it feels unbelievable.<\/p>\n<p>When I was a professional athlete, actually even before my sport was even announced as an Olympic discipline, I had a dream of participating the Winter Olympics one day. When I got injured this seriously, I thought I had to completely let go of that dream. I could never see the Olympic flame in my life&#8230; I was wrong.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the same, of course, but it&#8217;s incredible. I feel myself very honored and grateful. This also gives me so much motivation to continue working this hard for FightBack. I want to give so much back for people. Thank you Finland &lt;3 Together we can do anything.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_59577\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59577\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-59577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fightback.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_4367-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fightback.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_4367-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fightback.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_4367-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fightback.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_4367-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fightback.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_4367-306x229.jpg 306w, https:\/\/www.fightback.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_4367-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.fightback.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_4367-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.fightback.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_4367.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-59577\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I was in a live Finnish charity show yesterday with Kaj Kunnas, another Finnish torch bearer.
