Finnish Athletics Championships 1910

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Finnish Athletics Championships 1910 , also called Kaleva competition 1910 ( Finnish Kalevan-ottelu 1910 ), took place on July 2nd and 3rd, 1910 in Viipuri . The hourly and decathlon championships were held separately in August in Helsinki .

It was the first Finnish athletics championship in which the insurance company Kaleva donated a trophy ("Kalevan malja") for the best participating club. Since then, the championship has been named Kalevas.

The competition program has been enriched with several new disciplines, such as the 200 and 800 meter run and the hammer throw.

Finland's first relay championships took place on July 30 and 31, 1910 in Pori.
