Paavo Running Camps
You can find his legend living on through the Paavo Running Camps. These were established in 1971 and are now found all over the country, pushing runners to the next level of train. They make this possible by providing a positive attitude and strong work ethic into high school runners. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.72.65.86 (talk) 22:51, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Ten-mark bill
I'd find it notable enough to mention that his picture was on the 10 mark bill, until the bill was retired circa 1993. --88.112.176.223 17:07, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Michael Phelps
The reference to Michael Phelps' gold medals (citation #11) is now outdated. Please fix it, Wikipedia Guru. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.200.3.1 (talk) 04:48, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Vegetarianism
Nurmi was not a vegetarian his whole life (only from ages 15 to 21). It is a common myth and he refuted it in -32. http://www.hs.fi/urheilu/Paavo+Nurmi+HSssä+vuonna+1932+Olen+maistanut+alkoholia+morfiinia+ja+ooppiumia/a1305605579286 Not famous (talk) 06:34, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
