How fast is the fastest Finnish man right now? Any sub 30?
Looks like she could go sub-31 with good competition. Lol Bruce Springsteen on the speakers.
Impressive run, but her form is painful to watch. Also she has no kick whatsoever. She's two seconds from NR and after running 23 laps @ 76 s/lap, her last 800 is 2:30. Probably will do well in the Euros, if she goes for

Probably will do well in the Euros, if she goes for 31:30 or faster from the gun and can maintain that. Here's a clip of her going for a 15:52 5k from earlier this spring:

Her stride rate seems very low for a fast female runner. I'm counting max 175/min, and that's at 5 k race pace.
Definitely odd running form, like she is always sprinting in somewhat slow-motion. Doesn't overstride though, her footplant is very good. Just seems curiously inefficient, yet...31:42.
She needs to hit up Salazar.
He would clean up her form and have her running 30:42 within a year.
The Flying Finns are back!!
Her form is better than that girl from Iceland who runs the 800m. Dear lord.
Europe needs Salazar to fix their form.
Yeah, just like he did with Tara Welling...ohwait!

According to Tilastopaja her personal best's at other distances are
1500-4:33
Mile-5:12
3000-9:18
5000-16:08
Half Marathon-78:08
The 31:42 is a MAJOR breakthrough for her.
Not to mention that in better conditions she shaves off a big chunk further. Hopefully clean but no one knows nowadays, breakthroughs are looked at very skeptically.

Her Previous best 10000 was 32:51, she is 25 and improving rapidly.
This was a mixed race, so does it Qualify her for the Olympics?
It wasn't mixed race. There was a separate heat for women. Peiponen has run 5km 15.52 and half marathon (appr. 150 short course) 1:13 on the road.
