Name?
– Name is Elian Lehto. Then there was a little one in the sea, named Elian (5 years old Elián González rescued from the sea off Florida in 1999) and the mother was then of the opinion that this is Elian now.
Nick name?
– Ellu
Favorite food?
– Some beef steak, I must say.
Are you careful about what you eat?
– No! I don’t, I don’t, I don’t. I eat absolutely everything. Fortunately, you don’t have to look at it so badly. As long as you eat enough so that you don’t have an energy deficit.
The song of your life?
– It is Phil Collins. In the Air Tonight. It’s the first time I’ve heard it in my life. He has vinyl records and everything.
Dream job?
– A pilot. Fighter pilot.
G-forces and speed, that is, if not a fighter pilot, then we are coming down the slope.
– Yes, exactly.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
– I get too nervous in TV interviews.
For real?
– Yeah yeah! Now it’s not bad, but in the Sports Studio, for example, I was completely frozen.
Which one was the host, Riku [Salminen] or Petra [Manner]?
– Petra.
Petra is scary.
– That’s right. She is such a strict aunt.
Which reality TV show would you take part in?
– What are they? I have to say that I don’t watch TV at all. Yes, Survivors sounds like I could…
Do you think you could do well in the jungle, a northern boy who thrives in the snow?
– Well of course. Indeed.
Do you know how to enjoy beach holidays?
– Yes, definitely. Yes, I like.
In what situation do you slip a white lie?
– Well, let’s say that in the interview. How do you know that our local lies all the time, too.
Which living person do you admire?
– Faija. In a way, he has sacrificed many, many things for our children and given us the opportunity to do what we want.
Sounds like a great guy.
– Well, he’s a great man! I have to say.
Did dad teach you to ski?
– Is. My father has always been involved, even though he has no alpine skiing background, so my father has always been a coach there until I was 13–14 years old.
When and where are you happiest?
– Certainly close to the family. And surely then counting. It’s such a big part of life. Of course, there’s always the thing about competing that you can’t get that feeling anywhere else. Surely every competitive athlete can understand this, that it doesn’t really come from anywhere else.
