An old film of the preparations for the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki in Finland

 In today news there was also an old film of the preparations for the Olympics 1952 in Helsinki in Finland, see https://yle.fi/aihe/artikkeli/2007/04/11/helsinki-valmistautuu-kisaisannyyteen .

As I lived over 30 years in Helsinki and liked sports, also the Olympics were sometimes discussed, people thinking that the Olympics had somehow disastrous effect on the possibilitues of everyone to be sporty, like in the times pf farming society, and instead there were left only some possibilities for such, like the sport hobbies for children and for students that I too took part in. 

Is it this or some other old film of the Olympics 1952 in Helsinki is said to have caused amazingly much problems, like many other things done by Finns often also have caused, which is a typical major problem in Finland, ordinary things turning to catastrophic. Like in this video there are city center's famous buildings mentioned and one of them a theater, and like often happens with actors, the atmosphere of the film somehow continyed for a while with some actors trying to conquer the film or the landscape. Or like foreigners often want some social side or famous person kibd of serving as their social side of the film, the ordinary city center street seemed transformed to a place for the admirer of some Swedish speaking general llng time ago. Or the president Paasikivi at the end of the film kind of serving as a way to walk over the Finnish culture's views, ways and values. And the Olympic stadiln's tower looking like medicinal terminology or medical practices, instead of referring to a holistic objective picture of the world along all the time, like the Finnish culture values, considers important, instead of the only "plänts" like oval form of the stadium alone as if hot day relaxation without wisdom of life and caring the world wisrly well along. Feelings in one's picture of the world, what is the situatiln, what is wise to do, how forcefully, in which ways good to cooperate, what kind of wiDom of lufe to have along, individual ways of doing, seeing what is a good place for each in the whole each moment, kind of feelibg alive, seei g big things as big and to be cared for and minor matters as possibilities to give more room for wisdom of mife and the views of individuals.
