The Finnish-Swedish match was of interest to the people.
Nelonen announces that the Finnish -Swedish match of the 4 Nations tournaments attracted record -breaking viewers to the channel on Saturday.
According to information based on Finnpanel’s statistics, the thriller stretched over to the overtime reached 1.586 million Finns on linear TV.

By comparison, for example, the World Skiing World Cup has not reached the same figures in the early part of the year. Les Rousses’ 20 -kilometer men’s start -up race just exceeded the reach of a million.
The Sports Gala, on the other hand, reached 1.29 million viewers on Yle TV2.
However, there is a journey to the value races – even on the hockey side. Last spring, the World Cup opening match between Finland and the Czech Republic reached 1.6 million viewers on MTV3.
The average reach of YLE’s 2023 World Ski Championships with one broadcast was 520,000 spectators. The men’s 50km race reached 1.7 million viewers.
The 4 Nations Tournament start -up series culminates in the Lion on Monday. Finland will face Canada starting at 8pm.
