Here is the Finnish women’s team for the 30 km race

Long distance skiing in Planica on Saturday.

Finland has named its team for the women’s 30 km co-start competition to be held on Saturday. This is the last start of Planica’s World Cup skiing for women.

They go to the race starting at 1 p.m Kerttu Niskanen, Krista Pärmäkoski, Johanna Matintalo and Anne Kyllönen.

The same foursome also represented Finland on the way to the Beijing Olympics. At that time, the Olympic bronze medal was celebrated, which was achieved by Therese Johaugin and Jessie Diggins after Niskanen crossed the finish line.

Niskanen, Pärmäkoski and Matintalo were in action last Thursday, when Finland finished fourth in the relay race. Kyllönen last competed in last Saturday’s combined competition, but had to leave it in the middle due to asthma symptoms.
