The really staggering thing about this performance is what a rotten skater Antikainen is. Most Finns learn to skate at an early age - ice hockey is the national sport and boys play it at school. Incidentally the commentary was obviously read from a prepared script as it bore no relation to Antikainen's cavortings on the rink, apart from noting that the motto of the games was "come as what you are".
