Finnish Athletics Championships

January 07, 2023

The Finnish Athletics Championships, which are known as Kalevan kisat in Finnish, were first held in Tampere in 1907. Since then, they have been held in a different location every year. In the beginning, women were not allowed to compete in the Finnish Championships.

The top of the men's 400m hurdles race is coming to the eighth fence during the 2020 Finnish Athletics Championships at the Paavo Nurmi Stadium in Turku. Oskari Mörö, a silver medalist on the fourth track, is still short of Tuomas Lehtonen, a gold medalist on the fifth track, and Jonni Blomqvist, a bronze medalist on the third track.

The Kaleva Cup

In 1909, the personnel at the life insurance company Kaleva donated a trophy called the Kalevan malja or the Kaleva Cup to be awarded to and kept for until the next Championships by the team accumulating the most points during the competition.

In 1909, the Finnish Championships started to be informally referred to as the Kaleva Games because of the name of the cup. At the Championships held in Pori in 1915, the magazine Suomen Urheilulehti started to call the competition the Kaleva Games in its headlines. In 1937, at the Championships held in Vyborg, the Finnish athletics federation called Finnish Athletics (Suomen Urheiluliitto in Finnish) formally declared the name of the Finnish Championships to be the Kaleva Games.
