Harri's career end is still not going too well.
Satakunnan Kansa tells who all didn't comment (Harri himself really, Harri's coach, Harri's dad etc.) Iltalehti headline's roughly translated "Nah, he is not ending anything", it's a comment from unnamed source. Same source also tells that Harri has been out of it from the spring both at the hill and on the personal life like a bird feeder. Other than that, they consider this a temper tantrum, but even Santtu Silvennoinen hopes Harri changes his mind on the column. Ilta-Sanomat is more diplomatic and few people (who are named Kykkänen, Lahtinen) hope that Harri will reconsider and others tell that Harri still has all the potential (also named Ylianttila and J. Ahonen.) In Aamulehti Kykkänen comments, that Harri is so stubborn, that it is difficult to tell, if he will change his mind. And that Harri will notice in few days, that just quitting his career doesn't help anything, he still has the same personal problems they have been fighting with from the last spring. Kykkänen also denies that Harri's bad form this season would had been because of lack of training. He also says, that Harri's physical test results were same this autumn they were at 2008-2009.
Harri has also not done official announcement yet for the Finnjumping or FIS. And didn't answer the phone yesterday, when Ylianttila tried to get in touch with him. Hopefully he does not get provoked enough because of the disbelieve to actually announce the retirement for FIS. If he does that, he has to again officially announce the comeback and wait for half a year because of the doping control, if he changes his mind. It would probably be better for him that he at least would leave the door slightly ajar for some national competitions, if not anything more, in case that after taking some time off and putting his life back together, he starts to feel like jumping again. If not for anything else, but for the fun of it. After all, he does love ski jumping (if not everything that comes with it.)
