Jukka Keskisalo
Jukka Pekka Sakari Keskisalo (born March 27, 1981 in Varkaus ) is a Finnish athlete who is successful in medium and long-distance running. At the 2006 European Championships in Gothenburg , he won the gold medal in the 3000 meter obstacle course (8: 24.89 min). He benefited from the fact that the competition led the run too slowly, so that he was able to achieve victory with a good second advantage in a hard sprint.
As early as 2003 he finished 9th in the 3000 meter obstacle course during the World Championships in Paris . In the following two years he got out of shape due to injuries. At the 2009 World Championships in Berlin , he finished 8th.
In Finland, Jukka Keskisalo became national champion in the 1500 meter (2003, 2006), obstacle course (2003, 2005, 2006) and cross country (2003, short distance) courses.
