FROM DREAM TO REALITY​
Turku Tuomiopäivä, the brainchild of Meri Kylänpää and Aino Lepistö, first sparked into existence during a casual spectator moment at a sports event. This dynamic duo envisioned transforming the spectator experience into something vibrant, mirroring the energy of a summer festival. Fast forward, and their dream has sculpted Finland's premier licensed CrossFit competition, celebrated for its festive spirit and community engagement since 2019!
​
Central to the event's ethos is the involvement of Jonne Koski, an internationally renowned athlete with nine CrossFit Games appearances. His engagement was first discussed at the afterparty of another CrossFit competition, marking the beginning of a rewarding collaboration. Jonne crafts the competition's interesting events, bringing a touch of elite athleticism and credibility right from the festival's inception. This strategic move helped Turun Tuomiopäivä establish a distinctive presence in the competitive landscape from the very start.​
