The World Ski Championships will be heard and we will be seen live from EPN channels. See and follow all the news from the World Ski World Championships.
Finnish top skiing has leaned too much in recent years Iivo and Kerttu to Niskas mixed Krista Pärmäkoski.
In time, it has to go back 14 years, when the last time Finnish skiers reached two medals in one value race that did not have the footprint of the aforementioned stars.
Since then, the ski calendar has accommodated nine value races, where 24 medals have achieved Finnish skiers. Of these, the top three of Finland skiing have excelled in as many as 22.
From these two precious metals, none of them were involved, the first skiing Matti Heikkinen 50 kilometers of the 2017 Lahti World Cup. The other responded Ristomatti Hakola and Joni Mäki In the Oberstdorf World Championships 2021-albeit in free skiing.
As well as four years ago, now Granåsen’s stadium is flowing in gold Erik Valenes and Johannes Hösflot Kläbo. This time on the silver team, Hakola’s teammate with a traditional final straight was postponed instead of a hill Lauri Vuorinena new Finnish star for these races.
He has filled the illnesses and Iivo Niskanen’s boots who missed the race and missed the race – two races, two medals.
The most recent medal preceded Jasmmi Joensuu An epic collapse with the anchorage of the women’s paris sprint. Swiss sprint cannon Nadine fähndrich He took the first distance of seven seconds and pressed the final straight past Joensuu.
Granåsen and home stems via TV were allowed to follow the extremes of top-sport feelings for half an hour.
Men’s new success trip
Parisprint and Finnish skiing are an integral part of 21st century Finnish skiing DNA.
When the form of competition made his debut at the Oberstdorf World Cup 2005, Riitta-Liisa Lassila and Pirjo Muranen reached the silver.
For the following fir trees, as many as five Finnish skiing skiing was able to cook medal coffee – only the 2010 Vancouver Olympics Podium did not see blue and white colors.
For the first time, the Finnish women did not miss the pair sprint medal at the World Cup until 2015.
If women and the couple’s sprint were an equation for just over a decade ago, the men already achieved the third medal in Trondheim’s World Cup since 2021.
So, with a good conscience, it is a new medal shampoo in Finnish skiing – especially when the skiing is traditional.
One thing will change for sure
The traditional and pair sprint will meet in the value races next time in two years at the Falun World Cup. At next year’s Olympics, skiing is free.
When my ski caravan arrives in the World Cup, one thing is certainly unlike now. Hakola, who has reached the silver in Oberstdorf and now Trondheim, is not on the line as he has announced that he will leave the racing track after next season.
Instead, Iivo Niskanen has signed that his career is not coming to an end to the next five tire races. If health factors allow, you can already circle one race as a very potential medal trip from the Falun race program.
