The final letter brightened the color of the Finnish medal in the second game.
Finland’s medal tube in the Nordic Youth World Championships in Skiing continued in Norway on Friday when Niko Anttola stabbed 10-year-old silver for men under the age of 20. He lost to a Russian who won a race in Lygna Clay for the highlighted 21.4 seconds.
Anttola was part of the Finnish silver ski team last year, but in personal competitions the medal is the first of his career in the World Championships for young people.
– Yes, personal is always personal, Anttola said in a press release.
He was still two miles before the end of the intervals with a third highlight and a second Russian Alexander Ivshinin behind. Ivshin, who skied bronze, finally lost to Anttola for 0.8 seconds.
– It was a pretty heavy track. At first I tried to go up for the first time with a little bit of surface gas, so that there will be strength for the second round as well. It worked pretty well. I finished the second round still well. Good ideas, I knew it was possible to take the medal today, Anttola said.
The medal is Finland’s second in the World Youth Championships. Thursday Arsi Ruuskanen stood as world champion in the 15-kilometer men’s under-23 kilometers.
Of the other Finns on Friday 10 kilometers Alexander Ståhlberg was 28, Iiro Uusitalo 33: s and Konsta Mäntyvaara 42: s.
Russian feast in women as well
In the women’s 5 km, the best of the Finnish Quartet was ranked 13th Elsa Torvinen. Russia won the competition Darya Nepryaeva before Monday Elizaveta Bekisheva.
Torvinen lost 37.7 seconds to the winner.
– Pretty good race. My own tactics went pretty well, I started off casually and a little quietly started to tighten up. Quite a balanced performance. The ski was also good, Torvinen said with satisfaction.
Wind Raunio was 18, Fanny Kukonlehto 30: s and Peppi Leppälä 34: s.
