Mikko Johannes Halvari (born March 4, 1983, in Porvoo) is a Finnish decathlete.[1] He won a bronze medal for his category at the 2002 IAAF World Junior Championships in Kingston, Jamaica, with a solid score of 7,587 points.[2] He is also a full-time member of Tuusulanjärven Urheilijat, a local track and field club in Tuusula, and is coached and trained by Jussi Välimäki.
At age twenty-five, Halvari made his official debut for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed in men's decathlon. During the event, he set a personal best of 1.93 metres in the high jump; however, he failed to clear a height in the pole vault, which cost him a chance for a medal. In the end, Halvari finished only in twenty-sixth place, with a total score of 6,486 points.[3]
