On Sundays first game, dentist Miika Kujanpää from medical team was awarded as the volunteer of the day. For Miika, who is from Tampere, this year is the first as a volunteer. He joined the medical team encouraged by his colleagues. ”Familiar dentists took me in and I decided to join and share their work load”, Miika says.
As a dentist, Miika’s task is to take care of the players’ smiles, which means dental care and emergency dental treatment. He aims to ensure that any potential dental traumas do not get into players’ way as they go on in the tournament.
On the third day of volunteering, Miika mentions that the best part so far has been ”getting a feel for the atmosphere of the games” and watching the matches up close. Getting to know other team members has also been the highlight of the past few days for Miika.
As the tournament progresses, Miika has one important wish: ”Let’s hope that the players’ teeth remain intact”.
