After some initial disappointing world championship results, Ojala achieved two top-20 World Athletics Championships finishes. At the 2015 World Championships in Beijing, he did not finish the 50 kilometres. However two years later, he finished 14th at the 2017 World Championship 50 km walk.

In 2018, he competed in the men's 50 kilometres walk at the 2018 European Athletics Championships held in Berlin, Germany, but he failed to finish again. He rebounded in the new 35 km walk at the 2022 World Championships, where he finished 13th and was the best racewalker from his country.

In July 2024, Ojala retired from the sport. Provided by Wikipedia
