Radio host and actor Janne Saarinen got a moving surprise when he was seen on Yle Friday– program in an interview with Sean Ricks.

Embarrassing us too much? – in the episode Saarinen shared his thoughts on the fact that he is going to represent Finland at the Olympics without any sports experience.

Saarinen Leena-mother and Velipekka-father had recorded a message of encouragement for him, which was heard in the program.

– In our family, we have tried to emphasize that you have to dare to pursue your dreams, Velipekka begins.

– Whatever you’ve set out to try, you do it wholeheartedly and conscientiously. And that’s why you’ve come this far, Leena continues.

– And as for the outcome of that Olympic project, it does not define you as a person in any way. We are proud that you have already dared to cross the limits and even more, father reminds.

Leena’s mother says that the family is supportive.

– You are dear to us, the parents finally say in unison.

Saarinen listened to the message in front of the studio audience, writhing in his chair and finally burst into tears.

In the episode, Saarinen told how his upbringing has influenced him to dare to pursue his big dreams.

Saarinen’s journey to the Olympics started in the radio studio. The joke told to the listeners has now become concrete and Saarinen is aiming to represent Finland at the Olympics in coxswain.

The Friday program and especially the parents’ warm message have resonated in social media.

– Oh, I wish everyone’s parents were like this, they write on social media.

– A wonderful interviewer, a wonderful family and Janne! What could be a more important life instruction than to pursue your dreams!

– Now there is a big garbage in the eye!
