Jukka Ylipulli

Jukka Ylipulli is a former Finnish ski jumper and member of a prominent sports family known for their contributions to Nordic skiing. Growing up in Rovaniemi, he and his brothers became notable figures in the sport during the 1980s. After a successful athletic career that included winning a bronze medal at the 1984 Sarajevo Olympics, Jukka transitioned into coaching, leading both young athletes and the South Korean national team in Nordic combined. Recently, he has begun writing a book inspired by family memories and anecdotes from his sporting past, particularly those involving his late brother, Tuomo, and their legendary friend, Matti Nykänen.
