Thanks @Savon_Sanomat for the tip that @Swivelympics featured in #SportsIllustated last week! A great start to our dream to be a demonstration sport at #LA28! Did you know that Thomas Jefferson invented the swivel chair @Adoughty88? More: https://t.co/n5HtOTndDu 🏅

@Savon_Sanomat @swivelympics @antifestival Tuolta parista suosituimmasta ketjusta selviää kuinka tähän on suhtauduttu. Ilmeisesti absurdin ja tavallisuuden yhdistelmä vetoaa. https://t.co/NUBOh5Af5p

After suspicions that the Kuopio @Swivelympics chair is losing speed, I conduct a test spin, in order to maintain competitive fairness. More tomorrow! 🏅

A woman with Nordic walking poles pretends not to notice Terje’s very impressive first attempt at the Kuopio @Swivelympics. 🏅

[Richard DeDomenici @DeDomenici]

Today at the @Swivelympics: Kasperi has a high centre of gravity, so loses a lot of momentum on his first attempt. Will lowering his chair improve his performance? 🏅#KuopioSwivelympics #TokyoOlympics #Swivelympics #Tokyo2020

In today’s coverage from the Kuopio @Swivelympics, Jari discovers that the world record is held by an 11-year-old girl, and is sure of being able to improve on it with his experimental technique. 🏅 #Tokyo2020 #Swivelympics

Sunna and her friend Erla test some experimental techniques at the @Swivelympics in Kuopio, amid concerns that the competition chair may be running a bit slow. 🏅

Ha ha. Not so bad and good fun.

Each day during the postponed Tokyo Olympic fortnight I’m posting coverage from the Kuopio Swivelympics instead. Our fifth contender is Paul, who employs a far more relaxed technique than anything previously observed.. More tomorrow. 🏅
