Olli Ojanaho

Olli Ojanaho (born February 25, 1997) is a Finnish orienteering competitor. He was born in Rovaniemi and started his youth career representing the club Ounasvaaran Hiihtoseura. As of 2017 Ojanaho lives in Helsinki and represents Helsingin Suunnistajat. This feat was matched the same year by Swiss runner Simona Aebersold.

He is the most decorated male orienteer ever at the junior level after having won six gold, one silver and two bronze medals at the JWOC.

Senior career Ojanaho debuted at the senior championship level in 2017 when he represented Finland at the 2017 World Orienteering Championships (WOC) in Tartu, Estonia. The senior WOC was scheduled just one week ahead of the JWOC as doubling of the events and hence a conflicting programme for the athletes is normally not an issue. Ojanaho finished 27th in the middle distance. At WOC 2021 in Czech Republic his best position was a 4th place in relay. At WOC 2023 in Switzerland he won a bronze medal at long distance and a silver medal in the relay together with Topi Syrjalainen and Miika Kirmula
