I know I’m strong in this distance, but didn’t go so much so I didn’t know how to handle it. But everything flaps, says Poromaa in Viaplay.
– It’s crazy. I have no words. It’s more than I could have dreamed of, he says in the winner interview.

– He is completely exceptional at going far, he is so special. He has well received his mother’s skull. This means a lot, it’s awesome! I can’t understand that my boy has done this, it’s unreal. It’s so big.
