Due to work and family commitments Satu could only train twice per week when she started out and still today is not a full time athlete. Though in the face of that challenge, Satu won the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. She was then further honored by being awarded the Finish Sports Personality of the Year and Finish Sports Woman of the Year in the same year.

Satu and Matti spend 10  hours per day training and refining their skills.

Satu and Matti have been to hpc for four years now. During 2009 the hpc hosted their children Patrick and Sara but due to their school commitments they could not be here this year. They have assured the hpc that they will be back next year. When asking why they return every year, the following are their reasons:

1. Great weather

2. Good shooting range

3. Friendly staff

4. Good food and accommodation

5. Massage on off days

The hpc look forward to hosting Satu and Matti again next year. We wish them good shooting and many more medals.
