In a recent competition, Finnish men's cross-country skiers struggled, finishing far behind their competitors. Kalle Lassila did not hold back his criticism, stating his belief that no improvement is expected in the future for Finnish athletes in freestyle events.
Arsi Ruuskanen managed to secure the best finish for Finland at 14th place, with the strongest competition coming from Norwegian skiers, who took the top spots. Lassila emphasized the need for better training methods and a clear direction in freestyle technique to enhance performance in future competitions. Only time will tell if the coaching strategies will evolve to embrace a successful path for Finnish cross-country skiing.
