Remi Lindholm competed at the top against his own coach, Imatra’s number one raced to victory

Remi Lindholm and Santeri Erola skied for a while in the lead in the relay of the Finnish Cup in Vantaa.

A funny moment was seen in the relay of the Finnish Cup of Skiing in Vantaa, when Remi Lindholm and his coach Santeri Erola skied at the top of the competition.

Lindholm skied in the Imatra Athletes’ first team and Erola in the second team. Ville and Olli Ahonen had brought the Imatra teams in the lead to the first exchange.

Lindholm skied on his coach’s heels for a while, until, as expected, he broke away from the others. Lindholm brought Imatra Urheilijat into the second change in a clear lead. Rented the Ski Team Miska Poikkimäki was second, 25.8 seconds behind. Erola came to change in 14th place, 1 minute and 21.7 seconds behind Lindholm.

According to Lindholm, Sunday’s skiing was good compared to Saturday’s traditional 10 km race, where he was sixth due to a broken pole.

– It’s hard to compare your trip with others, when you pretty much went alone. I only got to compare myself to my coach. He is perhaps not the best international skier to compare with, Lindholm, who is going to the World Championships in Planica with Ville Ahonen on Thursday, threw.

Miro Karpanen styled the first team of Imatra Athletes to victory before Taivalkoski’s Metsä-Veikot 85 and Jämin’s Jännet. Lauri Mannila defeated in the fight for second place Lauri Lepistön By 0.8 seconds, while Mannila was barely stronger in the final stretch.

Lindholm had asked Karppa to take it easy on the first ascent.

– I malted it. Then I started skiing a little faster. All you had to do was ski to the finish line. Pojat cheated on such a good starting point that all he had to do was ski, Karppanen described.
