Harri Olli (born January 15, 1985 in Rovaniemi) is a Finnish ski jumper who has been competing since 2002. He is best known for his silver medal in the individual large hill at the 2007 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Sapporo. Olli has a total of four Continental Cup wins in the individual normal hill during 2005-06.
He is also famous for his unsportsmanlike statement after the FIS Ski-Flying World Championships 2008 in Oberstdorf, where he told the sporting director of ski jumping Janne Marvaila to go fuck himself if he wasn't able to get laid. Before the competition Olli had had a night out in a bar. He was very drunk and had a hangover[1]. Indeed his both jumps were over 200 metres which gave him the sixth place in the final results.
In August 2008 Olli was dismissed them from the national team second time. He had been drunk in the Summer Grand Prix tour in the Central Europe and was late from the ride to the competition venue next morning[2]. In July the police caught Olli with drunk driving and heavy speeding near Lapinlahti[1]. Olli won one competition and placed third in another in the Summer tour. Olli took his first World Cup win in Oberstdorf on February 14, 2009 with both jumps over 200 metres. He has since won two more Cup events, both in early 2009.
Olli had again alcohol-related problems before the opening of the World Cup season 2009/2010. He was having a dispute with his fiancée in a barroom and a drinking glass was used as a striking weapon.[3]
