Harri Juhani Olli (s. 15. tammikuuta 1985 Rovaniemi, Suomi) on suomalainen entinen mäkihyppääjä, joka edusti seuratasolla Ounasvaaran Hiihtoseuraa.^[1] Hänen paras saavutuksensa on suurmäen maailmanmestaruushopea vuonna 2007. Lisäksi hänellä on lentomäen joukkuekilpailusta MM-hopeaa vuodelta 2008 ja MM-pronssia vuodelta 2010. Olli lopetti kilpailu-uransa tammikuussa 2011 kesken kauden.^[2]

Olli on sijoittunut mäkihypyn maailmancupissa palkintokorokkeelle seitsemän kertaa, joista kolme on voittoja, kaksi toista sijaa ja kaksi kolmatta sijaa. 3. elokuuta 2008 Olli voitti mäkihypyn kesä-GP:n osakilpailun Ranskan Courchevelissä.

Hänen parhaimpiin saavutuksiinsa kuuluvat myös nuorten maailmanmestaruus normaalimäen joukkuekilpailussa Saksan Schonachissa 24. tammikuuta 2002 sekä nuorten MM-pronssi samassa lajissa Ruotsin Sollefteåssa 6. helmikuuta 2003.

Ura

24. helmikuuta 2007 Harri Olli voitti hopeaa Sapporon MM-kilpailujen suurmäessä.^[3] Hopeaa tuli vain 0,2 pisteen erolla kultaa voittaneeseen Simon Ammanniin. Olli hyppäsi avauskierroksella 124 metriä, kun Ammann hyppäsi 125 metriä ja johti kierroksen jälkeen kilpailua ennen toisena ollutta Ollia. Toisella kierroksella Olli hyppäsi kilpailun pisimmän hypyn 136,5 metriä Ammannin jäädessä 134,5 metriin. Avauskierroksen paremmat tyylipisteet riittivät kuitenkin tuomaan Ammannin niukan voiton. Olli kuului lisäksi Suomen joukkueeseen, joka sijoittui joukkuemäessä neljänneksi.

Olli kuului 24. helmikuuta 2008 Oberstdorfin lentomäen maailmanmestaruuskilpailujen joukkuekilpailun hopealle yltäneeseen joukkueeseen. Hänet kuitenkin erotettiin maajoukkueesta loppukaudeksi muutamaa päivää myöhemmin. Erottamisen syynä oli MM-kisojen aikainen toiminta ja Janne Marvailalle osoitetut lausunnot, huono kielenkäyttö sekä päihtyneenä median edessä esiintyminen.^[4] 18. heinäkuuta 2008 uutisoitiin Ollin mahdollisesta rattijuopumuksesta. Noin viikkoa myöhemmin rattijuopumus vahvistui. Olli pysäytettiin kun hän ajoi 141 kilometrin tuntivauhtia 80 kilometrin alueella. Hän puhalsi poliisin alkometriin 0,67 promillea, ja rattijuopumuksen raja on 0,5 promillea. Elokuussa 2008 Harri Olli erotettiin toistamiseen maajoukkueesta. Syyksi ilmoitettiin toistuva piittaamattomuus joukkueen pelisäännöistä.^[5] 13. lokakuuta 2008 Olli sai 30 päivän ehdollisen vankeustuomion. Hänelle annettiin myös 120 euron oheissakko ja hän oli ajokiellossa vuoden loppuun saakka.

1. tammikuuta 2009 Keski-Euroopan mäkiviikolla Garmisch-Partenkirchenissä käydyssä kisassa Olli sijoittui kolmanneksi ja kuittasi näin ensimmäisen palkintokorokesijoituksensa maailmancupissa.^[6] Seuraavan palkintokorokesijoituksensa Olli saavutti Kulmissa 11. tammikuuta oltuaan toinen.

Ensimmäisen voittonsa Olli otti Oberstdorfin lentomäestä 14. helmikuuta 2009. Samassa kilpailussa hän hyppäsi uuden mäkiennätyksen, 225,5 metriä. Seuraavana päivänä Olli johdatti Suomen joukkuekilpailun voittoon. Liberecin MM-kilpailuissa hän johti normaalimäen kilpailua ensimmäisen kierroksen jälkeen, mutta putosi lopulta kolmanneksitoista.^[7] Suurmäessä Olli oli 21.

Toisen voittonsa Olli saavutti Lillehammerissa 13. maaliskuuta 2009. Olli voitti myös kauden viimeisen kilpailun Planicassa 22. maaliskuuta. Maailmancupkauden 2008–2009 kokonaispisteissä hän sijoittui neljänneksi.

Vancouverin olympialaisissa Olli hylättiin normaalimäen kilpailussa ensimmäisen kierroksen jälkeen liian suuren hyppypuvun takia.^[8] Suurmäessä hän sijoittui 18:nneksi. Lentomäen maailmanmestaruuskilpailuissa Planicassa Olli oli yhdestoista ja kuului joukkuekilpailussa Suomen pronssijoukkueeseen.

Yleisön keskuudessa Olli on aina ollut suosittu. Norjalaiset kannattajat muun muassa tekivät hänestä laulun.^[9]

25. tammikuuta 2011 Harri Olli ilmoitti lopettavansa aktiiviuransa mäkihyppääjänä.

Harri Olli (born January 15, 1985 in Rovaniemi) is a Finnish former ski jumper who has been competing on World Cup level 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.

Before the FIS Ski-Flying World Championships 2008 competition in Oberstdorf Olli had had a night out in a bar.^[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 for the second time. He had been drunk during the Summer Grand Prix tour in Central Europe and was late for the ride to the competition venue next morning.^[2] In July the police caught Olli for drunk driving and heavy speeding near Lapinlahti.^[1] Olli won one competition and placed third in another during 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 World Cup events, both in early 2009.

Olli again had alcohol-related problems before the opening of the World Cup season 2009/2010. He was having a dispute with his fiancée in a bar room and a drinking glass was used as a striking weapon.^[3]

His 2009/2010 season has been characterized by sporadic bouts of good form. For much of the early season he maintained a position in the pre-qualified top 10 but unfortunately as his performance curve dipped and he dropped outside the pre-qualified places sometimes he did not qualify at all, something that seemed less to do with talent and more to do with attitude. Upon questioning by British Eurosport commentator David Goldstrom, the Finnish Coach Janne Väätäinen stated that Olli's apparent disinterest stemmed more from 'frustration' and shyness than a bad attitude to ski jumping.^[4] The Finnish Team maintains faith in his ability and talent and during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics Olli competed in all three events, although he was disqualified in the Normal Hill Event due to a suit violation. In the large Hill event Olli placed 18th, the highest ranking Finn, after a poor first effort and the disqualification of Janne Happonen and Janne Ahonen's knee injury.^[5] In the Team Event Olli acted as anchorman in place of Ahonen improving under the weight of responsibility and making two very good and consistent efforts. Unfortunately, due to a sudden flurry of good form for the Norwegian's Finland placed just outside the medals but it was tightly fought final round.^[6]

In the Winter 2009-2010 season Olli was 14th overall, 13th in the Ski-Flying Standings, 12th in the Four Hills Tournament and 11th in the Nordic Tour.^[7]

In the 2010 Summer Grand Prix Olli was 11th overall.^[8]

On Sunday November 28, 2010 Olli was suspended by the FIS for one competition after giving the Media camera the middle finger after his poor qualification jump of 77 m which left him in 57th place. Subsequently the Finnish Ski Association suspended Olli from the National Team for a undisclosed period of time. This is now the third time in as many years that Olli has been suspended from the National team.^[9] Pekka Niemelä stated in an after-incident interview that Olli had 'personal problems' but there has been online speculation that Olli feels he was 'thrown under the bus' by the Jury's decision to make him jump despite the bad wind conditions, conditions which the wind and gate compensation system did not seem able to adequately compensate.^[10] It is unclear what form Olli is in coming into the 2010-2011 season, fans can only hope that he'll find some confidence in his own performance.

Olli is a student of Mathematics at the University of Rovaniemi, though his place of residence is Lahti with his fiancée. In an interview with the FIS Ski-Jumping site, Olli stated that he had 'no goals' for the 2010-2011 season but that to be an 'all-round happy athlete' he would have to 'jump well'. When asked whether he was certain that the season would be successful Olli replied 'I'm not sure about that.' ^[11]
