For me, it’s always a special occasion to come back to Finland, the land where I achieved the most important victory in my running career back in 1971. I often trained in Finland during the summer, and I’m really happy to once again connect KARHU to its Finnish roots. I wish all the best to the athletes that will bring their passion for sport to Tampere, and I hope they will discover the quality of the KARHU products in our booth!”

Against the background of the war in Ukraine combined with the effects of the pandemic, some countries were able to plan participation only very late. To give them the opportunity to register correctly WMA Council and LOC Tampere have agreed to an extension of 5 days for all.
The deadline in the registration system will stay open until the end of the day on 2nd May everywhere in the world.
However, after that the registration system must be closed to ensure proper preparation of the championship for all.
