Eetu Kumpulainen and Fygstermedia has a sponsorship for Nordic Champion competition.
Here you can find Inka`s interview!
Some how September is over and it is October already! I have been very very busy but yet doing some new things still coming up. Fygstermedia made a little sponsorship with one athlete, Eetu Kumpulainen. Eetu is going to Nordic championships for the first time so I wanted to help out. And for that reason I am coming to Tampere cup 10.10.2026 to do media with Eetu. And ofcourse I am selling my services in that competition for other athletes too. Only that when Eetu is up, that group is only for him that day, we are making an cool youtube video about Eetu`s competition day. And I am trying to get to Parkano, Parinin Puntit competition and I am going to produce livestream from there. I am rehersing this and I am hoping to make a different kinda live, I hope to get some interviews and backroom action too in that live. Everything is set for it, only thing that troubles me is the internet connection in the site. I have a mobile station for it but still, will it be enough? We will see.
I did an interview with one of Finlands rising female lifter, Inka Tiainen. She is currently battling an injury, she is my chosen Young SISU lifter of the year and she is an amazing athlete. You can watch the interview in my Youtube and in Finlands weightlifting federations Youtube too. On that note, also in 10.10.2026 at 08:00 AM , I am going to publish Youtube video called After Batumi. This video will take you to Urhea, one of our Olympic training centers and athlete`s schools. It is the day to celebrate Janette Ylisoini, our european weightlifting champion. In video you will see national team training in Urhea and you will see inside the celebration that was held for Janette. ALL af the video footage is unseen. For Janette, the european gold medals where not the end of the story, it was just the beginning. She has stepped on the road toward the weightlifting World`s and Olympic trials. She is going to compete in about week in Junior europeans in Albania. And on that note, I am making an short preview video about that competition and Finlands team in that competition. That will be coming up in in friday 9.10, at least I planned it that way. I have been bit sick so working has been bit difficult.
Weightliftings new rise in fInland
So, I decided to make an PHOTOBOOK around this time of great weightlifting arise in Finland. I will be using my photos in it and it will tell the story of Finnish weightlifting in these past years. I am going to put up and Shopify store for it and it will be ordered ON DEMAND so I will not have many copies in storage to sell. I decided on demand because I don`t have the money to make storage production and this kinda product is not for everybody. I will get some copies to sell in competition sites etc but only few. I got the idea from weightlifting house, they are making an sportbook with unseen photos so I was like, we should do something like that to tell the story of weightlifting now. Because we have these athletes that are changing the scene in this sport, Janette, Minni, Inka, Eetu, Konsta and more. I am going to try my best and get that PHOTOBOOK ready and selling before December, perfect gift for weightlifting fan, coach or athlete. Also, I will get on with that merchandise idea, and hopefully get athletes in on it too. I will give out profit from the Photobook sales to our national weightlifting team and in to weightlifting so this is not only to get income to fygstermedia. Besides every euro I make, I invest back to weightlifting content. The goverment is not helping out, making gasoline and traveling so goddamn expensive. That really is a shame. I would do so much more if I could travel more easy. I have considered to aply for some kinda money to this but it is not easy. Many artist, journalist etc apply for it.
AND I want to thank you all, my follower number have gone up in socials and in youtube too. Thank you so much for your support!
Okay guys, we will see you in Tampere and if you need photos etc in that competition, I am there to help out!
