Finland’s ski jumping legend Matti Nykänen (1963-2019) became famous not only for his medals but also for his constant scandalous appearances in the tabloids. The sports idol was known for his great achievements in sports, as well as his alcohol addiction, his tendency to become violent especially with romantic partners, and his side gigs as a singer and an exotic dancer.
