Kytösaho could not participate in Sunday’s qualifying due to a personal mistake.
The number one eagle of the Finnish men’s ski jumping national team last season Niko Kytösahon the first race weekend of this season was a complete mess.
On Saturday, Kytösaho finished last in the big hill competition in Lillehammer, Norway, and did not even qualify on Sunday. Head coach of the Finnish men’s national ski jumping team By Igor Medved Kytösaho took the wrong number before qualifying and was late for the equipment check as a result of a fight, Medved communicated to STT.
Kytösaho has been one of Finland’s best ski jumpers in recent years, but his seasons have been uneven. Last season, he achieved the best achievements of his career at the end of the season, when the 24-year-old mountain man, who represents the Paimio Athletes at the club level, won seventh place in the World Championships. In addition, he twice reached the top ten in World Cup competitions.
After the season, Kytösaho left the Finnish national team and has been training at his own expense in Central Europe. He will tour the World Cup again with the national team.
Finnish mountain men Kasperi Valto and Antti Aalto made it to Sunday’s competition in Lillehammer. Paavo Romppainen qualified.
