Heart Hospital and Ristomatti Hakola
“For me, sports is much more than work – it’s a way of life.
In top-level sports, equipment has to be in top-notch condition. The same applies to the heart.
My heart is the most important piece of equipment, and I need it to be in stellar shape.”
Ristomatti Hakola, cross-country skier
