Wilma Murto changes the coach. Pete anikari
– I’m a great surprise, Iltalehti’s athletics expert Arto Bryggare says.
There was a news bomb on Tuesday about athletics as a pole vault Wilma Murto said that he had decided to cooperate his long -time coach Jarno Koivunen with. Koivunen coached the burglary several times.
The latest cooperation lasted 2019-2025. Murto won the European Championship and World Championship bronze on the outdoor tracks.
– This is definitely a tough surprise for everyone. The results of Murro and Koivunen’s cooperation are completely unique in Finland and even at an international level, Bryggare says.
Murto and Koivuinen told about the change In the SUL bulletin. The common decision was based on different views on the factors leading to last year’s challenges and the future as a top athlete.
Coach change does not always mean that there is drama in the background. Koivunen was still present at the end of March at a briefing where Murto told about a book project and his mental challenges.
Bryggare says Murto will soon need a new coach.
Arto Bryggare hopes that Murto will soon find a new coach. Roni
– I hope Wilma has a new coach as soon as possible. The pole vault is a sport where training is quite impossible without having to watch another. We need a person who describes his jump and knows the species.
– Wilma is a top -notch author of her kind. All other training is great without a coach, but jumping is not.
Bryggare believes that a suitable person can be found in either Finland or abroad. There are no huge candidates in Finland.
The fraction is that the seedlings of the pole vault are intense.
– Wilma and Jarno also know international coaches. I believe Murto will find a coach.
What about the World Cup?
Once again, the year of value is underway. So the change can raise the question of how the Muro World Cup is doing.
Bryggare reminds us that time is on the Finnish star. The World Cup will not be held in Tokyo until September.
– Everything is possible. In recent years, the races have been in August, so now there will be about a month more time to prepare. Wilma has enough time to refine her fitness. The burglary does not start on an empty table, but it is critical of what happens next.
Coach shifts are often done after the outdoor season, not in the spring. Bryggare also has experience with the latter.
He changed the coach in 1982 after the hall season, when the interior championships ended with disappointment. At that time, Bryggare did not reach the 60-meter fence semi-finals, but later won the 110-meter European Championship bronze medal that year.
The expert believes that Murro has a pack.
– As the issue was reported now, the backup plan may already be ready. Soon the news from the new coach may come.
Stupid times
Murto is a European champion. Pasi Liesimaa
The last year has been turbulent for Murro. The European champion suffered injuries last year.
At the end of March, a pole jumper reported that he was assigned a psychiatrist on sick leave at the end of 2024. The Finnish star completely left the hall season.
There is no exact schedule for the return. In March, Murto estimates that the outdoor course may begin later than normal, not in the spring.
– My situation is not easy to predict. The credit is hard that I’m in the race in the summer, he said.
