Mikko Kekäläinen, 47, & Mervi "Meikka" Levänen, 65, Godson -and mother
Mikko Kekäläinen, the TV face and presenter of the whole nation, known from the half-seven program, participates in the Amazing Race competition together with his godmother, Mervi "Meikka" Levänen from Pieksämäki.
Mikko and Meikka believe that their strength lies in calmness and the fact that they don't tend to rush from place to place.
Mikko is the one of the two who needs help navigating and describes himself as being pulled along. Coincidence or a strategic game from the beginning, but Meikka is a practical engineer who will certainly guide Mikko in the right direction as well.
They think they can complete tasks with both calm assessment and rigorous analysis. The team has the ability to throw themselves, so performance tasks as well as working in a foreign language are definitely the team's strengths. Both think that the trip will be an unforgettable adventure for them and an opportunity to grow their mutual relationship.
"Although now I hope that all the competitors will have a wonderful trip and that there will be a good spirit of unity between us, I know that when the race starts, that competitive drive will rear its head. Meika has life experience and I have the skills to throw myself, so I believe that we will be strong."[1]
