Last Salmochican Victorious in Kuntavaali GP – Finnishing with New World Record




The winner.

The final leg of the Kuntavaali (Local Election) GP started with thrilling setting, as three leading fishes shared almost the same position. However, soon after the start, the Green fish Last Salmochican (”Viimeinen Lohikaani") had an explosive takeoff and hit the Piirteenkoski rapid respectfully 18000 meters upstream from were it started. That is a new world record, and it will very likely stay so, at least until next year.

”We came here to spawn”, Last Salmochican stated, and therefore it was only natural to swim a bit up and down to check out the places. I wasn't worried a bit, as I knew all the time that I could swim from the starting area right to the end of the track at Anjalankoski during one days leg any time.”

The silver was taken by the Swedish Calle, and bronze went to new comer of the race, team PerusKanki's Bamse (”Maailman Vahvin Nalle”), who took part only in two legs, but still managed to beat the other fishes that were competing for third position.
