Matti Nykanen’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Matti Nykanen was born in the Year of the Rabbit. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Rabbit enjoy being surrounded by family and friends. They’re popular, compassionate, sincere, and they like to avoid conflict and are sometimes seen as pushovers. Rabbits enjoy home and entertaining at home. Compatible with Goat or Pig.
Finnish ski jumper who won five Olympic and World Championship medals, but tarnished his reputation with his violent behavior.
He won three gold medals in the Calgary Winter Olympics in 1988, tied for the most of any athlete in the competition.
Known to be a heavy drinker, he was convicted in a stabbing case in 2004, serving over 2 years in jail for it, and was sent back to jail again in 2009 after assaulting his wife.
He had a tempestuous relationship with heiress Mervi Tapola, the couple divorcing in 2003 and remarrying again just a year later.
Janne Ahonen was another, much less colorful Finnish Olympic athlete.
