Sports Ski Specialist Ville Nousiainen wrapped the Salpausselkä Games during the Sports Studio. Kalle Lassila and Matias Strandvall have already admired the eagles.
The Salpausselkä Games went successfully on the cross -country skiing side Ville Nousiainen Almost completely according to expected. However, there were enough talk.
One of the most upset moments was when Kerttu Niskanen opened up exceptionally after Friday’s sprint and threatened to leave up to Sunday’s 50km race. Niskanen felt that the tracks were life -threatening and wanted to drive a different time.
However, Niskanen started the Sunday race and praised the conditions.
– Big thanks to the organizers. We were unnecessarily intimidated by what the tracks were on the traditional side on Friday. It was said that it had been tried that one would be available on Sunday. It pulled the mind low, but the track had been in good shape, Niskanen said.
– The tracks were in really good shape all the time. The skiers had only tested different things. Perhaps this Kerttu was just a misunderstanding, Ville Nousiainen was a full turn of Kerttu Niskanen.
Surprise?
Miro Karppanen On Sunday, he toned the 50 kilometer skiing race when it was 16th. It was clearly Karppanen’s hardest World Cup result. The previous one was 26th from Ruka’s traditional ten in November 2023.
– He seemed to be able to ski good investments among the world championships, Nousiainen annoyed.
To the biggest surprise internationally, Nousiainen raises German Coletta Rydzek Victory in Friday’s sprint. For Rydzek, the victory was the first career in the World Cup. The German seems to dominate this place, as he was second in the sprint last year.
– Rydzek came to a very explosive way, but well controlled his technology. It was a great trick, Nousiainen would boast.
In general, Nousiainen has seen a positive trend this season, as Switzerland did well, for example in the World Cup.
-If the Central European skiing started to rise and a good ball started to spin, then the top cross-country skiing would not be just a show in the Nordic or French, Nousiainen said.
Flop?
Therese Johaug and John Hösflot Kllabo shine about the biggest stars in Norway but Christian Ståvas Skistad Nousiainen thought it was disappointing. The Norwegian number one team, anchored by Skistad on Saturday, was only seventh, while the Norwegian second team was fourth.
– Skistad is no longer and has never reached top condition. He had to take the batch stages of the sprint very lightly. The same thing was in the pair, Nousiainen estimates.
What on earth?
The Finnish party topic was the weekend Jasmmi Joensuu Sprint Cup victory. Joensuu secured the victory of the sprint cup earlier in the week in Tallinn, but in Lahti he received a rare crystal ball in Finnish. Joensuu became the second Sprint Cup winner throughout the ages Slender sprig Fiber (now Sarasvuo) In addition to the 2006-2007 season.
Sports Experts Kalle Lassila and Matias Strandvall They joined the Joensuu Crystal Ball Festival and decided to keep the Instagram-Live Party in the restroom.
The duo also faded the most amazed moments in Live. Tendon Ahonen and Ton Nieminen They tinted the bench sports with their duels from Lahti Suurmäki in the midst of the World Cup.
Lassila and Strandvall admired the 113 meters jump of their EPN expert colleague.
– Hi! It was a crazy job, Lassila exclaimed.
– It was a gross long jump. Even in the race, Ahonen would not have been the last, Strandvall continued.
What next?
Although the World Skiing World Cup now ends in Lahti, the ski season is not yet over. This season we will compete next weekend in the Finnish Cup in Iisalmi and in two weeks the Finnish Championships in Taivalkoski.
The latter stars too Antti Scratch. Ville Nousiainen sees the future domestic races as interesting for the top players.
Nousiainen thinks that for the World Cup and value-level skiers, fitness is now starting to slip away from the best possible. For them, it may be difficult for them to be honest with the last domestic ski race of the season.
– There may be big surprises in these races when the national team’s top cannons are not necessarily in their best. In the January-February Championships, the level differences are so big for the national group that the toughest names are handled by them. But in late winter, national team skiers are surprising, Nousiainen describes.
