There are plenty of strinking bronze statues around Helsinki and several of them depict nude men in various states of work or exercise. Outsie the Olympic stadium (1952 summer games) one can find nine time gold medalist Paavo Nuurmi cast in iron and running nude, I thought perhaps he was a streaker? Legend has it that when a virgin walks by The Three Blacksmiths, the hammers come down (not up). I stood around for a while and never heard metal hittin' metal...Some parts on the sculptures are larger than life..others..not so much!
