I came across this report on Visa Hongisto. He holds a win over Jarkko Ruostekivi. Jarkko just ran a 6.61 when coming in third to Ronald Pognon. According to the report, he caught a flyer but couldn't hold off Pognon who turned in a 6.55.

Sprint talent

18-year-old Visa Hongisto grabbed the men's 60m title in 6.74, just edging Nipa Tran (6.76) and Jarkko Ruostekivi (6.77), but was unable to double because of an injury in the 200m heats later. All three runners ran faster times in the semi-finals with Hongisto and Tran finishing in 6.72 in heat one and Ruostekivi winning the other semi-final in 6.73, ahead of the Nigerian Nnamdi Anusim, second in 6.74. Anusim competes for a Finnish club, but is not eligible to represent Finland internationally although he can take part to the Finland-Sweden international match now.
