As written on the slide itself...
Helsinki - stadium tower and Paavo Nurmi
Yes, in 1952 Helsinki hosted the XV Summer Olympic Games. The stadium was completed in 1938 for the 1940 Olympics, alas an event called WW" intervened.
The tower of the stadium, a distinct landmark with a height of 72.71 metres (238.5 ft), a measurement of the length of the gold-medal win by Matti Järvinen in javelin throw of 1932 Summer Olympics.
Bonus - Gentlemen. There is a white rabbit in this picture. No really. There is.
