Biography
At the age of 17, Ville Ritola emigrated to the United States , where his seven brothers and sisters already lived. There he joined the Finnish American Athletic Club, where he trained with Olympic champion Hannes Kolehmainen , who arrived in America after winning the 1912 Olympics . Kolehmainen tried to persuade the young Ritola to take a place in the Finnish national team at the 1920 Olympic Games , but he replied that he was not ready yet.
For the first time, Ritola took part in the Olympic Games in 1924 in Paris , where he won four gold and two silver medals. In his first race, at 10,000 meters, in the absence of his compatriot Paavo Nurmi, he won a world record, overtaking his rivals by half a lap (a month after the Olympics, Nurmi took the world record from Ritola). Three days later, in the 3000 meters hurdle race, he was 75 meters ahead of the nearest pursuer. The next day, he finished second behind Nurmi in the 5,000 meter race. He won another silver medal in the individual cross, again losing to Nurmi; and with him (as well as Heikki Liimatainen) mined gold for the national team in the team cross. And finally, one more gold was won in the team race of 3000 meters.
At the 1928 Olympics, 32-year-old Ritola finished second in the 10,000 meter race, behind Nurmi. But in the 5,000 meter race, he managed to overtake Nurmi by 12 meters and win gold. After these Games, he decides to leave the sport.
Ritola never took part in the national championships in Finland, but he was a multiple champion in the 1922-1927 competitions in the USA.
Ritola returned to his homeland in 1971. At the age of 86, he died in Helsinki .
