Jasmmi Joensuu Delicious Opportunity-Aino-Kaisa Saarinen downloads the weekend’s ferocious Finnish expectations | Sport

Aino-Kaisa Saarinen points out that the message venues of the World Cup will only be resolved during the race.

The World Skiing World Cup continues over the weekend in Cogna, Italy. On Friday, we will compete in traditional Parisprint, Saturday in the traditional sprint and Sunday in free 10 kilometers off.

The pair sprint is also skied in traditional March 5 at the World Championships in Trondheim. In Finland’s traditional success, the men’s team is likely to ski at least Iivo Niskanenbut the other skier’s place is still open.

EPN’s ski expert Aino-Kaisa Saarinen believes that with Niskanen, the World Championship medals in Norway are fighting either Joni Mäki or Lauri Vuorinen.

Vuorinen tinted Ruka in MC-Sprint early and was third. Since then, the top ten in the Sprint have come to the top.

The hill season has begun, but last weekend he was eighth in the free sprint of Switzerland. Vuorinen was 19th.

– For the first time last weekend, “Joni -like” skiing was seen. Sure, there was still a bit of missing, but when the turn is happening, the fitness starts to rise quickly, says Saarinen.

– Now it was the last moments that the turn must happen, or then you can say “hey” this season.

Saarinen points out that the posts will only be determined during the World Cup, so that far-reaching interpretations of Cogna cannot yet be drawn.

Joensuu opportunity?

Finland departs cognee’s neck and Krista Pärmäkoski Starring, hard team. Instead of, for example, the Swedish star guard Frida Karlsson, Ebba Andersson, Jonna Sundling, Linn Svahn, William reindeer and Jens Burman miss the World Cup.

For example, Karlsson invests in training and plans to compete only in the World Cup.

Norway, for example, lacks Therese Johaug and sprint cannons John Kläbo and Kristine Stavås Skistad.

According to Saarinen, many people want to get a small training break from the competitions at this point and then tune in at the Falun World Cup in mid -February.

Many Finnish races have been broken, and for example Perttu Hyvärinen and Remi Lindholm They still give evidence to the World Cup. In the spring of 2019 in Cognus, the traditional ten won Kerttu Niskanen In turn, he wants to succeed in the overall situation of the World Cup, which requires hard work to go.

The lack of Swedes and Skistad is suitable for the first personal World Cup win Jasmi to Joensuuwhich is second in the sprinting cup just behind Sundling and can get to the top of the overall sprinters.

– There’s a chance to win in the sprint competition, says Saarinen.

– There may not be the highest investments in Sunday’s free race, but the first two days are good for us. There are several prize -ball investments, Saarinen downloads.

If the potential for success in Cogna is great, Joensuu will also have a stunning seam in the overall sprint. Jonna Sundling told Thursdaythat, in addition to Cogne, skips the Falun World Cup before the World Cup.

As a result, Sundling is on the sidelines of two sprints, with a total of four in the World Cup. In the past of Finns, in men or women, only Virpi Kuitunen has won the sprint cup.
