Lappeenrannan Urheilu-Miehet has risen to the very top of Finnish sport. The club is part of Finland's elite athlete coaching group, and it has seven representatives in it. This is more than many large sports clubs have.

The coaching group is important because in it athletes receive better support for training and competitions. Athletes selected to the group can develop their skills and pursue success in international competitions.
Lappeenrannan Urheilu-Miehet has shown that success does not always require a large city. The club's results will be followed closely in the future, and many sports enthusiasts are waiting to see how the club develops.
