The wheelchair racer (18.5.2008) Janne Seppälä, world class wheelchair racer from Rovaniemi, Finland. Racer for ten years with three gold medals from the CP-ISRA World Championships in 2005 in Connecticut, USA, on 100, 200 and 400 meters. Due to different kind of classes in wheelchair sports, Janne has found himself in strange position: in Finland he is mainly competing against himself because of lack of competitors in this level in his class, T34. Like in training he is often competing against the clock instead of other competitors. Photographer Petri Uutela |
