Rolf Stewen

Rolf Wilhelm ( Wille ) Stewen ( September 15, 1927 Vilppula - August 10, 2012 Naantali ) was a Finnish officer, also known as a successful field and cross-country skier .

Stewen had military rank, Lieutenant General . He was Commander of the New Brigade Command from 1973 to 1976 and then Commander of the Southwest Finland War Zone. Prior to his studies, he worked for a few years in London as a military agent. Among other things, he was Chairman of the Board of the Finnish Foundation for the Foundation of the Marshal Mannerheim .

Stewen participated in the 1956 "Horse Racing Olympics ", which was held separately from the Melbourne Olympics, by a Lojal 40th Horse. In the 1992 Olympic Games, the Finnish Rider Association granted Stewen the No. 5 Champion Mark.

Stewen started riding at the age of 13 on the front in Aunus as a horseshit. At the age of 14, he started riding at the Helsinki City Hall on horseback rides . After completing the military service, he continued to the Cadets School in Santahamina , where the studies included riding. While serving in Yp�j� 1951-1952, Stewen was involved in training horses for the Helsinki Olympics` five players and was also elected as a substitute for the Finnish Field Rescue Team. For the following 1956 Olympic Games, Stewen was trained in both field and cross-country skiing, and the Selection Committee decided only late in his participation in the cross-country skiing.

Stewen`s studies continued in the 1950`s at the military academy both in Finland and in England, and riding was a hobby, though he competed at national level in field tracking in the 1970`s and in cross-country riding until the 1990s.
