One of the All-Time Greats.
In 2016 after coming close to winning with a 3rd and a 2nd, Mika Immonen captured the event he cherished in the discipline he loved at the 76th World 14.1 title in his home court New York City. There will be none other like you. Rest Easy, Champ. 🏆🇫🇮

“The reason Mika Immonen is in his chair is because after a safety battle, I found a dead one in the pack and figured i could hit this with a snow shovel and it was good. The ball missed and went 3 rails, kissed off 2 more balls and went in anyway. I looked over at Mika and said "i'm kinda sorry but not real sorry". He said "best roll i ever seen in my life". final score was about 100-26 but memorable. He was a class act through it all.” - Ed Culhane, competing in the World 14.1
