A wonderful gesture from Kerttu Niskas after the victory – fulfilled Inker’s, 10, wish and praised the Finns | Sport

Kerttu Niskasen had enough time for Finnish supporters in Davos. ‘s cameras captured a heartwarming moment.

DAVOS. Kerttu Niskanen again showed great eye for the game at the Tour de Ski after his victory. Last time in Toblahci, he made headlines after helping fellow competitors after a tough race.

Now Niskanen distributed comments to the media for a long time after the race, maybe for about 15 minutes.

However, the Finnish winner had time to stop once more. Niskanen fulfilled 10-year-old Inker’s wish and gave him his name. Previously, Finnish skiers had already done the same Anne Kyllönen.

Inkeri and his family said that they were very excited for the competition, which was also colored by the heavy snowfall. Niskanen defeated the United States in the final round Rosie Brennan’s.

– The Finns’ encouragement was good, Niskanen praised when signing an autograph.

Inker’s smile reached her ears from Niskanen’s fine gesture. By all accounts, the moment was important.

Brennan wasn’t too disappointed after losing to Niskanes.

– It was nice to work and fight against Kerttu at the end. He was strong at the end. Maybe I chose the wrong line, Brennan described the outcome of the race.

The Americans had enough drama anyway, when Tour leader Jessie Diggins crashed at the start. However, Diggins fought behind Niskanen and Brenna for third at the end.

– Yes, I was hurt, but I’ll be okay. However, it’s not a good feeling now, Diggins told Urheilu.

Diggins now leads the Tour’s overall race by 44 seconds ahead of Kerttu Niskane.

– I’m just going to ski two different joint start races as well as I can, Diggins resorted to a sports cliché while still talking about the settings of the Tour’s overall competition.
