The World Ski Championships will be heard and we will be seen live from EPN channels. You can find everything in the World Championships here!
Arsi Ruuskanen, Niko Anttola, Remi Lindholm and Markus Vuorela Going with moderate goals for the Men’s Men’s Men’s Combination Contest for the Trondheim World Cup.
Ruuskanen said he had suffered from the flu, but believes he was ready to fight on the World Cup tracks.
– After Falun, there was a small flu. But here, when we are, it is not allowed to hurt it, but let’s start doing the best result. Fortunately, it wasn’t bad, I had to rest, but did not take the man as he went. We are on our feet and start fighting, Ruuskanen promised.
The combined race, and probably the entire World Cup, aside due to the illness after Falun, were already missed Iivo Niskanen and Perttu Hyvärinen. Also Joni Mäki told about illness after the sprint qualifying.
Rosy in the background of a creepy experience
Ruuskanen would be pleased with the top ten.
– I want to continue the good series I’ve been able to perform evenly. Ranks 15-20 have been an average result, so we start to be able to cheat on top10 here in the World Cup, Ruuskanen outlined.
The combination competition ski 10 kilometers with traditional and after 10 kilometers in free skiing.
– I believe that many men want to keep up with the traditional and do not want mass. The free portion may be easier, but I think everyone will have to hit their best in the game at the latest after changing skis, Ruuskanen predicts.
Ruuskanen has never skied in the World Cup. In Planica in 2023, his race ended immediately in the combined race with a violent interruption. Ruuskanen collided with his advertising fence in the wrong place and severely offended his thighs.
At that time, a legendary television moment was also seen as they tried to find out what had happened to Ruusanen during the race. The driver of the Finnish Service Department Arto Nieminen She mistakenly said, “Arsi Harju’s foot has gone shit.”
This season, Ruuskanen’s best investments in the World Cup are the 14th spaces. They came with Ruka (10 km, p) and Lillehammer (20 km, p). The best career is the eighth Davos 20 kilometers free in December 2022.
Remi Lindholm’s surprise invitation
Remi Lindholm competed last Sunday in Finlandia Skiing, 60 kilometers.
– the next day (head coach Teemu) Pasanen Called if I came to ski the skiathlon when Iivo became sore. Bad that Iivo became sore, but good that I can ski.
Lindholm believes that free skiing is going, but traditional is a mystery, as he has last skied in the Imatra Championships.
– Improves the best value racing investment. At least it. It wouldn’t hurt if you could improve a lot, Lindholm said of her goal.
Lindholm has once been to the World Cup and the Olympics. The best investments are just about the combination races-the last World Cup and the 25th Olympics at the last World Championships.
Lindholm believes that traditional skiing is relatively loud. It has to last.
– In the case of a leisure, the momentum is usually increased immediately. If you last, then you may go really well.
The combined race is also a qualifying for the message. The starting points have changed due to tangible illnesses. Previously, Lindholm thought he was in principle fighting with Markus Vuorela for the fourth post place.
Niko Anttola also became ill in mid -last month. He told the STT that “I always come and my situation is pretty good now”.
Vuorela was able to replace Ruuska at the last World Cup, and again the place opened through the deputy pest.
-I’m happy with the top20 investment. The ranking among the top 15 would be really good, Vuorela calculated its chances of combination.
Vuorela’s best World Cup is 28th in Oberstdorf in 2021 traditional skiing 15 kilometers.
