Ville Tiisanoja
Finnish athletics competitor (born 1975)
Ville Johannes Tiisanoja (born 24 December 1975 in Vantaa, Finland) is a 192 cm (6 ft 4 in) tall Finnish shot putter who weighs 119 kg (262 lb) and competes for Kenttäurheilijat-58 in Vantaa. His personal best in the men's shot put currently stands at 21.09 m, which he put on 28 July 2002 in the Elite Games in Kuortane, Finland. He is coached by his father Kalle Tiisanoja. Tiisanoja is a construction foreman by trade.
Although Tiisanoja does not hold any Finnish records for men's shot put, he does hold the record for 17-year-olds from 1992 (19.79 m) and the indoor shot put record for 14-year-olds from 1989 (13.30 m). In addition, Tiisanoja holds several records for discus, javelin throw and hammer throw. Tiisanoja competed in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, where he did not make it to the final round and ended up placing 19th thanks to his put of 19.50 in the qualifiers.
Even though Tiisanoja regularly puts over 20 m, his best placing in the European Championships was a 4th place in the 2005 Indoor Championships in Madrid and 8th place in 3 World Athletics Championships. He has, however, won 3 Finnish Championships, one (2006) which he has been stripped of. Tiisanoja was the 15th member to be inducted into the 20 meter club after he successfully putted the shot 20.06 m in a competition on 31 July 1999 in Espoo, Finland.
