Finland’s Biathlon Complex of Finland this season Suvi Minkkinen is worried about two weeks before the World Championships in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. In the last World Cup, half of the Finnish team before the World Championships was suffering from the Finnish team.
None of the men in Finland anymore started driving in Anterselva, Italy.
In the past, there were illnesses in Finland’s maintenance. Also Venla Lehtonen He had to leave the weekend due to fever.
– Yes, that (illness) is a little thought. The shit is already in the fan. Let’s see if it hits. There is nothing else here. Stress does not help, Minkkinen says.
According to him, there is nothing more than treating things on the mask and washing your hands carefully.
– My hands are so dry when I have washed so much. There is nothing else, Minkkinen says.
However, Minkkinen still has tough goals for the World Cup. Many times this season has reached the top ten. Has also become one of the podium in personal races and one victory in the pair cavity Tero Seppälä with.
– I’ve been so many times in the top six that I want to make it a goal. There have been really marginal differences in the podium. In the last round I have fought for a prize podium. It is small. All in the World Cup are sure to be in their best shape. Hopefully, Minkkinen is talking about his goals.
Passing by the passing
Minkkinen’s general for the World Cup was not the best. He was only 69th in the speed on Thursday. So Minkkinen could not get involved in Saturday’s chase.
In Sunday’s message, Minkkinen anchors Finland to 15th place. The body had felt better than in the fast race.
– The passing causes the feeling of whether it can come back. On the other hand, if I look at the Anterselva Games of previous years. Has got tired and had to compete quickly. It has been difficult for me. It has tried different things. No one has yet been found that works. I’m not worried because this is a special week for adaptation, Minkkinen says.
Minkkinen points out that the value races will be in a longer adaptation period. In the summer, he also had a different feeling as he pulled along Anterselva’s tracks than this weekend because he had already been high longer.
For next week, Minkkinen will continue to adapt to Anterselva and the following week with the national team in Martell. There will also be a personal coach at Antersel Mikko Viitanen.
– Certainly, first trying to recover and continue to adapt high. Some good, hard exercises, Minkkinen plans.
Sports Biathlon Specialist Kaisa Mäkäräinen I think Minkkinen must now be smart as he practices before the World Cup so he doesn’t work hard and overload through it.
According to Minkkinen, he must definitely be accurate.
– You feel like you start recovering and you can start doing exercises. Certainly light aerobic to the beginning. That’s what it needs after this kind of racing, Minkkinen describes.
