I'm a Finn. Kimi Räikkönen, Mika Häkkinen, Matti Nykänen and most of all; Jari Kurri and Teemu Selänne, you know.
And Linus Torvalds too.
A Finn? Uhh, I'm a huge Michael Schumacher fan so I hated Hakkinen. I do like Kimi, always root for him, but, man, his post-race interviews are dreadful.
In hockey my NY Rangers in the '80s had a Finn that we all loved named Mikko Leinonen. Not exactly a household name in the USA or even Finland I bet, but we sure loved the guy in New York.
And speaking of hockey, uhhh, how shall I put this.....
WE KICKED YOUR FINNISH ASSES IN 1980 TO WIN THE OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL.

Most people in the USA think we beat the Russians to win that medal. But nope, we beat your sorry ass team!

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
