Before Finland’s great medal hope Ilkka Herolan The first personal race day has been overwhelmed by the Nordic Ski Championships.
The combined mixed team competition featured a dramatic prize -podium between Austria and Japan. Austrian John Lamparter was wedged in Japan Ryota Yamamoto forward and led Austria third.
The jury of the competition investigated the situation for more than an hour and decided that Austria could keep bronze medals.
Competition Manager of the International Ski Association FIS Lasse Ottesen told NRKthat the situation was a border case based on the rules. Ottesen continued justification for VGthat the Lamparter would have been enough for Yamamoto to change the track and also considered Yamamoto a part of the crash.
Freshly many species experts felt that the decision was wrong. Sports Expert also agreed Petter Kukkonen.
– I’ve talked a lot with colleagues in different countries. It stinks that the job has been turned in cabinets. Austria is usually strong in these. This is my subjective opinion, but if the situation was the other way around, the Japanese would have been confidently abandoned, Kukkonen said on Saturday in the sports studio.
So Austria wanted more medals in cabinets than Japan and used the searches there?
– You said that, but I’m pretty much on the same line, Kukkonen replied to EPN reporter To Riku Salminen.
Ilkka Herola Finland’s best skier?
Ilkka Herola has succeeded several times before Saturday’s personal race in Trondheim’s Normal Hill. On Friday, Herola jumped 101 meters in a mixed team competition. He jumped on stage on the 15th. Ski jumping specialists came down from the same hill in the same stage. Finland’s best was Antti Aalto With its 91.5 meters of baking.
Petra Manner asked at the Sports Studio from Sports Ski Jumping Specialist From Janne Ahonenis Ilkka Herola at the moment the best skier in Finland?
– It may look easily. The differences in circumstances were considerable. If Johannes Hösflot, Norway, is skiing with a slimy banana and Ilkka ski with the same loop at the cross -country skiing, Ilkka is faster. Still, Ilkka is not a better skier than Kläbo, Ahonen made a parable to the Norwegian cross -country superstar.
Petter Kukkonen was also asked the same thing.
– Ahonen always hesitates and of course he looks at his own kind of perspective, but I would dare to bet that Ilkka is the best ski in Finland, Kukkonen threw.
