Finland Ice Marathon

I was watching Ice Marathon at the harbour. These four guys had a fierce battle for the 1st position on men's 200 km skating. They were still quite even when the last 200 metres began. In this photo (which was taken about one hour and 25 kilometres before goal) they happen to be in the correct finishing order: (L to R) Hotze Zandstra, Antero Kotijärvi, Yoeri Takken and Jarkko Koponen.

A few more pics of the event.

I was watching the event also 2 years ago.
