Martti Vainio
Martti Sakari Vainio (born 30 December 1950) is a Finnish former long-distance runner. In Finland he is recognized as the last of the great runners of the famous "V-line", the previous ones being Juha Väätäinen, Lasse Virén, and Pekka Vasala. Each of them won at least one gold medal either at the Summer Olympics or the European Athletics Championships in the 1970s.
His achievements in major athletic championships include gold in the 10,000 metres race 1978 European Championships in Athletics in Prague and bronze in the same distance at the 1982 European Championships in Athletics in Athens. At the 1983 World Championships in Athletics he dropped to fourth place by a very short margin in the 10,000 metres race, and incensed by that caught the bronze in the 5000 metres, which was also a closely contested fixture, Vainio only assuring his medal by a palpable lunge over the finish line.
Career
Early career 1972–77
Martti Vainio started systematic training at the age of 20 in the autumn of 1971 with his coach Aulis Potinkara. He received his first national championships medal in 1974 when he finished third in 5000 metres after Seppo Tuominen and Rune Holmén. In the same year he ran his first 10,000 m race with the result 29:09.6. He broke the 29-minutes barrier for the first time in 1976. The same year he was second at the Finnish Championships in Athletics in 10,000 metres after Pekka Päivärinta and was selected to his first Olympics in Montreal. However, he did not qualify for the 10,000 metres final, finishing as the second fastest runner to be eliminated from the final. He won his first Finnish Championship in 1977 when he beat Kaarlo Maaninka by 0.9 seconds in 10,000 metres.

Muerte Ven
by: Tahures ZurdosMe sumerjo en mi cabeza, muerte ven.
Veo a hombres torturados, muerte ven.
Ya mi túnel del espejo no se ve.
Se ha empañado con mi vaho mortuorio, muerte ven.
Soy una muñeca rota, muerte ven.
Ya sé que te fui a buscar, muerte ven.
Y mis ojos no han cesado de sangrar, muerte ven.
Hasta que la muerte nos una.
Hasta que la muerte nos una, dementes.
Hasta que la muerte nos una.
Hasta que la muerte nos una, humanos.
La muerte me ha penetrado, muerte ven.
Y a mi cuerpo ha desplazado, muerte ven.
Y mis manos ya pueden ni hablar.
Y mis ojos no han cesado de gritar, muerte ven.
Soy una noche vacía, muerte ven.
Soy un gran miedo quemado, muerte ven.
Diles que yo siempre existiré
