Some Famous People called Pekka Niemi
Pekka Niemi (skier)
Juho Pekka Niemi (born Yliniemi, 15 November 1909 – 21 December 1993) was a Finnish cross-country skier who competed at the 1936 Winter Olympics. He won a bronze medal in the 18 km event and placed eighth over 50 km. His biggest success came at the 1937 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, where he won a complete set of medals: a gold in the 50 km, a silver in the 4 × 10 km relay and a bronze in the 18 km. He also won the 50 km race at the 1938 Holmenkollen ski festival.
Niemi won only one medal at the national championships, a silver in the 50 km in 1935. He retired soon after the 1939 World Championships, where he placed fifth over 50 km and sixth over 18 km. He was a forest manager by profession.

Pekka Kalevi Niemi (born 14 November 1952) is a retired Finnish heavyweight weightlifter who competed at the 1980 and 1984 Olympics; he finished tenth in 1980 and won a bronze medal in 1984.
Niemi took part in every major international competition between 1977 and 1984, with the best results of fifth-seventh place at the European championships of 1983–84. He did not expect to medal at the 1984 Olympics, and after finishing his attempts went for sightseeing. The officials delayed the award ceremony by a few hours trying to find him, but failed, and went ahead with the empty bronze medal platform. Niemi received his medal next day. Domestically he won 11 consecutive Finnish titles in 1977–88. After retiring from competitions he worked as a weightlifting coach and trained the Finnish weightlifting team in 1995–2001. Starting from 1985 he was also a member of the Athlete’s Commission at the Finnish Olympic Committee. He later worked as a special needs education teacher at the Pirkanmaa Educational Consortium in Tampere.
