Joonas Olkkonen
Finnish sport shooter
Joonas Olkkonen (born 19 February 1976 in Kärkölä) is a Finnish sport shooter.

Having pursued the sport since the age of thirteen, Olkkonen trained full-time for Lahti Shooting Club (Finnish: Lahden Ampumaseura) in Lahti under his personal coach Kari Olin.
Olkkonen qualified for the Finnish squad in the men's double trap at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by having registered a minimum qualifying score of 140 and obtaining the bronze medal to ensure an Olympic slot from the World Championships two years earlier. Olkkonen fired 118 out of 150 birds to round out the leaderboard in last place from a field of twenty-five shooters, failing to advance to the final round.

Why this record matters
“Joonas Olkkonen” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Joonas, Olkkonen and Finnish provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q11866916. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1976, 2002 and 2004.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
