I BARELY got to 50 with this man, and I searched every engine and source I know. He's some Finnish sprinter, apparently. I just felt like we should have every nationality included under Scandinavia for icontheworld tonight. He kind of reminds me of Jensen Ackles in some of these. Not many, but some.

This is written way later than this was posted, but still... I just have to say: Finland does not belong to Scandinavia! Only English-speaking people seems to think so. Sweden, Norway and Denmark is Scandinavia - and only those three. Those three, Iceland and Finland makes up the Nordic countries. There are other combinations with other names, but those two are the most common.

*deep breath* Sorry about that. It just annoys me to see so many people making that mistake.

Now that I have ranted some (sorry about that): Good job. :) It can be hard finding pictures of athletes that don't belong to the top ten or so, so great job finding a variation of pictures. Snagging some because I'm always happy seeing some Nordics on icons. :D

I actually knew Finland wasn't included in Scandinavia, but for the challenge it was decided that they would include Iceland and Finland. Probably so they didn't have to piece them out into different categories and get overwhelmed. ;-) I'm glad you like them, though! It's not often a PB puts up such a challenge.

I guess a better solution probably would have been to just call the Nordic region for the challenge, huh? Haha, now I'm going to be thinking about this for the rest of the day.
