Vuorinen is acknowledged for his achievements at the World Country Skiing World Championships in Trondheim. The explanatory memorandum also mentions Vuorinen’s activity in the junior work of the local club.

According to Vuorinen
– It feels nice that Rovaniemi admits.
Vuorinen, who has lived in Rovaniemi for ten years in Rovaniemi in late summer, has highlighted Rovaniemi with his success.
The reward criteria also mentioned Vuorinen’s active participation in the Ounasvaara Ski Club. Vuorinen has done a lot of work, including in junior club activities.
– It plays an important role and I like to deal with juniors. It’s been a lot of fun.
According to Vuorinen, it is nice that the people of Rovaniemi can also enjoy his success.
Success does not come just for money
In addition to the recognition award by the City of Rovaniemi, Vuorinen has accumulated his cash in, among other things, cash prizes for World Cup success.
In the everyday life of an athlete, money helps, but Vuorinen points out that it is not the most important thing.
– Nothing can be counted on the prize money. They are a nice addition to the budget, but success comes through everyday life.
Vuorinen’s budget is formed through, among other things, partners. Prize money is an additional that enables small but important choices in small margins.
– For example, I can decide when and where I camp. Flights are expensive from Rovaniemi because of tourism, so I may choose the most optimal time for traveling.
In top-level sports, everything is done on the terms of training and sport. More important than cash flows, Vuorinen considers the basic work.
– The training sheet and home sheet is the stone base. It must be fine.
“I came here and I have stayed here”
Vuorinen moved to Rovaniemi about ten years ago his coach Ville Oksanen on the recommendation. Vuorinen is really pleased with the framework provided by Rovaniemi.
– I came here and stayed here. It’s good for the skier to be here.
From the skier’s point of view, Vuorinen praises Rovaniemi’s snowfall, trail network and the framework provided by Santasport. In addition, Rovaniemi is well suited to Vuorinen Pirta.
– This is a city of the right size. There are many activities here than the skiing. There are also good transport links to the rest of Finland and the world.
Vuorinen has another small wish for summer training.
– Even when we get that roller ski track, we have everything here.
