The World Cup in cross-country skiing is concluding this week. Jasmi Joensuu has the opportunity to secure her victory in the sprint cup.

This season, Jasmi has cemented her place in the sprint finals, which has raised hopes for her success. National coach Aino-Kaisa Saarinen commented on Joensuu's improved performance this season, stating, "It's been a remarkable rise for her."

The Finnish team for the Tallinn sprints on March 19 includes:

Joensuu's main competitor, Jonna Sundling, who currently ranks second in the sprint cup, will not participate due to illness. Despite the challenges, Joensuu is expected to perform well, especially after strong finishes in the recent World Championships.
