Huomasin vasta nyt, että Kysyjä on virallinen kääntäjä suomi-espanja. Hienoa, voin kirjoittaa suomeksikin!

Lisäisin vielä, että Nykänen-ilmiöstä on tullut suorastaan yleiskäsite suomessa eli monesti puhutaan nykäsistä pienellä n:llä. Toni Nieminen ei ole vielä päässyt tälle tasolle, mutta oli aikanaan myös omanlaisensa ilmiö, koska hän voitti suurmäen kultamitalin vain 16-vuotiaana Albertvillen talviolympialaisissa.

Matti’s status as a celebrity has mainly been fueled by various incidents often related to heavy use of alcohol. He even broke into a kiosk once and stole something... When people refer to Nykänen and Nieminen, they probably think that Toni had the same kind of problems, but in fact he did not. His problem was just his young age.

These names often go together when we talk about early achievers: was it too much too young?

Everybody knows their story in Finland and they are often referred to in everyday conversations. IMHO the idea is that the two names should have something in common. There are many famous men called Nieminen, but none of them are linked with Matti Nykänen the way that Toni Nieminen is: they were not only skijumpers, but also young achievers who had some difficulties due to the fact that teenagers are usually too young to handle fame.
