Harri Juhani Olli (born January 15, 1985 in Rovaniemi ) is a former Finnish ski jumper . He last started for the club in his hometown, the Ounasvaara Ski Club .

Career

Harri Olli made his first international appearances in the 2001/02 season. He made his debut on December 15, 2001 with a 31st place in the Continental Cup in Lahti. In January 2002 he became world champion with the team at the Junior World Championships in Schonach in the Black Forest .

On November 29, 2002, the Finn made his debut in the ski jumping World Cup at the competition in Kuusamo, Finland . Almost a year later, on November 28, 2003, he got his first World Cup points with a 25th place. In the Junior World Championship 2003 in Sweden Sollefteå he was bronze medalist with the team in an individual, he was eleventh.

From the 2005/06 season he was regularly used in the World Cup, but in between he also started again and again in the Continental Cup, where he was able to jump out three of his four victories in this competition class in the said season. It was also the season of his first Four Hills Tournament participation , where he qualified for two of the four competitions.

In the 2006/07 season, the Finn qualified for all four competitions in the Four Hills Tournament. He celebrated his first major success when he won the silver medal in the individual competition on the large hill at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Sapporo in 2007 and only had to admit defeat to Swiss Simon Ammann by 0.2 points . He took fourth place with the team and placed 31st in the individual competition on the normal hill.

At the ski flying world championship in 2008 on the Heini-Klopfer ski jumping hill in Oberstdorf , he won the silver medal in the team competition with the Finnish team. In the individual jumping he came in sixth place. Because of gross misconduct during this event, which also included alcohol, he was suspended until the end of the season.

At the Summer Grand Prix 2008 he was allowed to start again for the Finnish national team for the first time. Here he was able to win the jumping in Courchevel and reach a third place in Pragelato . After this jump, however, he was suspended again after he had previously become conspicuous again in Einsiedeln .

In consultation with the new head coach Janne Väätäinen , Harri Olli trained at home in Rovaniemi during his suspension. At the Finnish championship in 2008 he reached a third place, which prompted Väätäinen to nominate Olli under certain conditions for the start of the 2008/2009 season .

The 2008/09 season has been the Finn's most successful so far. At the New Year's competition in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, he took third place in the individual World Cup podium. With the team he won the team competitions on the large hill in Kuusamo and the flying hill in Oberstdorf . There he won his first individual competition in the World Cup on February 14th, 2009, where he improved the previous hill record of the Norwegian Roar Ljøkelsøy by two and a half meters in the first round with a width of 225.5 meters . At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2009 in Liberec , Czech Republic , he finished sixth with the Finnish team and was ranked 13th (normal hill) and 21st (large hill) in the individual competitions.

At the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver , Canada , he was fourth with the team and 18th in the individual competition on the large hill, after he had been disqualified from the normal hill. He then won the bronze medal with the Finnish team at the 2010 Ski Flying World Championships in Harrachov, Slovenia, and came eleventh in the individual competition.

The Finn opened the 2010/11 season with gross unsportsmanlike conduct. When jumping in Kuusamo , after the unsuccessful qualification for jumping, he raised his middle finger in the direction of the jury at the ski jump tower because, in his opinion, he had to jump in very poor conditions. He was banned from jumping by the FIS. Shortly thereafter, the national coach Pekka Niemelä announced that Harri Olli had been excluded from the Finnish World Cup team until further notice. A few days later, his long-time personal trainer, Kimmo Kykkänen , also ended his collaboration with Olli, because “as his trainer he couldn’t change anything about the jumper’s character”.

Although he was suspended as a result, he jumped in the Engelberg Continental Cup on December 27 and 28, 2010 . In the first competition he was disqualified, in the second competition he was fourteenth. At the jumping on January 15 and 16, 2011 in Sapporo , he was allowed to compete again in the World Cup team. In the first jumping he reached the second round and finished 30th, in the second jumping he was eliminated in the first round. Olli then announced that he wanted to end his career immediately.

On April 19, 2012 it was announced that Olli was planning a comeback. Accordingly, he is actively training again and may return to the international ski jumping stage in the summer. He made his first appearance at the Finnish Summer Championships in Lahti in September 2012 , where he took tenth place on the large hill and won the bronze medal in the team competition with Lahden Hiihtoseura's team.

At the end of March 2013, Olli announced that he would resume his comeback attempt because he would like to start at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi . A little later it became known that the former Finnish ski jumper Matti Nykänen will train him. A few months later, Olli took 20th place in a national competition in Rovaniemi . On December 21, 2013, Olli competed in Lahti in his first competition in over two years in the Continental Cup. There he missed the second round after jumping to 36th place in the first round.

On November 28, 2014, Olli competed in his first World Cup competition in almost 4 years in Kuusamo. In the first round he was eliminated in 45th place. Overall, he qualified for five individual competitions in the World Cup in the 2014/15 season . In ski flying in Vikersund he reached a World Cup point in 30th place.

At the Finnish Championships in 2015, Olli came in 15th. Nevertheless, he was nominated for the 2015 World Championships in Falun, Sweden , but only used there in the individual competition on the large hill, in which he was eliminated as 43rd of the first round. A year later he took part in the ski flying world championship 2016 in Bad Mitterndorf, Austria, and finished seventh with the Finnish and 35th in the individual competition.

In the 2017/2018 season he jumped to 9th place at the Finnish championships on October 22, 2017 in Lahti with 117.5 and 113 m.

Private

In addition to sports, Harri Olli studied mathematics at the University of Rovaniemi . Since the beginning of 2009 he has been engaged to Carolina, with whom he moved to Lahti.

Off the hill, the Finn repeatedly attracted attention with his antics, which already earned him the reputation of a new Matti Nykänen in the media . After his abnormalities during the Ski Flying World Championships in 2008, when he stayed away from the team hotel on the night between the individual and team competition and when he returned in the morning, while under the influence of alcohol, insulted team supervisor Janne Marvaila, he became conspicuous again in June 2008, when he was flashed with the car in a zone with a maximum speed of 80 km / h with 141 km / h and 0.65 per thousand alcohol. Unlike before, however, this initially had no sporting consequences.

Before the start of the 2009/10 season, Harri Olli again became suspicious of alcohol when there was a violent argument between him and his fiancée in a bar in Lahti.

In late August 2012, Olli was given a 30-day suspended sentence after physically assaulting a woman. The appearance of Ollis at the court hearing also caused a stir, and the various people involved with sometimes violent insults.

At the beginning of January 2013, Olli was sentenced to four and a half months in prison for assault and driving under the influence of alcohol, which he can serve as a substitute for 130 days of social service.

Shortly before the upcoming 2016/17 season, Olli was kicked out of the Finnish national team because he appeared in a promotional video for a foreign betting company, which a competing company is one of the main sponsors of the Finnish ski jumpers. The 31-year-old denied the allegations at a press conference because, according to his statements, it was not a promotional video, but a reality television format. In the event of an imminent termination of his contract by the Finnish Ski Association, Olli announced legal action.
