"Janne Hartikainen (two-time winner of WSM under 105 kg) won his fifth Finnish title -105-kg class," reported Jyrki Rantanen.

"Hartikainen was followed by LP Mikkonen and Marko Valo in the two-day competition in Tornio, Finland today," Rantanen said.

Rantanen, a former top 105-kg competitor himself, is a longtime member of the society of Finnish strongmen - as an athlete, official and, when duty called, private driver par excellence.
