Helsinki...the art deco Olympic city

Only one more sleep until the run in Helsinki....

Have spent the day around town and visited the Olympic Stadium:

Helsinki was due to host the Olympics in 1940 and built the stadium in art deco style that was popular at the time:

The Olympics were cancelled due to WWII and then didn't take place in the city until 1952....60 years ago:

There are awesome views of the city from the top of the tower:

It was the first Olympics in which Russian Federation and Israel competed in. The Olympic flame was lit by Paavo Numi who was a Finnish middle and long distance runner who won 9 Gold medals and 3 Silver
medals at the Olympics:

Now time to stock up on some carbs and sleep ahead of city 5's run tomorrow!
