Hannu-Pekka "Hoopi" Hänninen (born 27 July 1952, Helsinki, Finland) is a Finnish sports commentator who works for Finland's National Broadcasting Company Yle. * In Urheiluruutu's sports news Urheiluruutu, he acts both as the real-time play-by-play commentator and the sporstreader. * His career as a sportscaster began in 1977. * He had been in radio for a brief period of time before that. * He has obtained a telecommunications technician's qualification. Hänninen is best known as a multi-skilled sportscaster who can commentate on virtually every sport. * He usually speaks about football, skipping, and Nordic combined. * He also wrote a lot about athletics in the 1990s, most with Kari Hiltunen. * Among others, he recalled the Kimmo Kinnunen's World Championship winning javelin throw in 1991 Tokyo, Sari Essayah's World Championship winning 10 kilometers walk in 1993 Sevilla and Aki Parviainen's World Championship winning javelin throw in 1999 Sevilla. * He has also reported on every Olympic Games in television since 1984 Los Angeles. * Matti Nykänen's gold winning streak in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary was one of his greatest moments in Olympic games. * He has also been the leading commentator of swimming in Yle for a long time. While "Hoopi" has been one of the most influential commentators in football World Cup and European Championships since 1986 Mexico, he did a few of the first round matches in Pasila, Finland, but was unable to do so due to a lack of games and traveling. The Euro 92 final in Sweden and the 2002 FIFA World Cup final are two of his football commentating careers, among others. * He and Tapio Suominen are the main football commentator in YLE. Hoopi also divides the people's views as much as other sportscasters. Many people believe that he is dependable and charming, but he has also been the subject of heavy criticism because he does not seem to be highly alert and alert, does not seem to be keen on what happens on the field, and in some cases, he focuses on topics that are not the most important. * He often brought his heart into the activities on the ski jumping or football field, but the same time does not neglect the technical aspects. He had also made a splash in his work Yle. * In 1999, when Hoopi learned that his beloved colleague Antero Mertaranta had left Yle, he opened a pink sparkling wine bottle to celebrate it. * There have been rumors that there are definite plans behind this, pointing to strong ambitions that have arisen from the 1995 Ice Hockey World Championships. * Finland gained its first and only gold medal, but Hänninen was the second-choice commentator after Mertaranta, who argued vociferously his way into Finnish people's hearts. * Mertaranta came back in 2000.
