Jasmi Joensuu and Krista Pärmäkoski remained silent about the team selections. Mono weighed in Sunday’s pair relay.
Krista Pärmäkoski and Jasmi Joensuu finished sixth in the double relay of the World Ski Championships in Planica on Sunday. The difference between the winning team and Sweden was 37.9 seconds.
Finland’s pair relay duo was a bit of a surprise. Pärmäkoski said after Saturday’s combined race that he doesn’t know if he had budgeted a pair relay into his WC program or not.
No response to the couple message plans was received on Sunday either.
– Yesterday it was finally confirmed, Pärmäkoski laughed.
Did you have a couple message in your plans when you left here?
– It depends at what point you ask. I have gone on a trip when I went to France. There were no plans then, he pointed to the end of January.

Joensuu was also asked because skiing the pair relay was confirmed. The skier was silent for a while after the question.
– Mm… Can I say? he nervously looked towards Pärmäkoski with a laugh.
– Just answer, Pärmäkoski encouraged.
– Saturday evening. It was then that I was told that I could join. I’ve been ready the whole time.
“No sense”
Finland was in the top group at the beginning of the competition, but the last two rounds ruined the medal hopes.
– It was too hard a ride. I didn’t stay Jessie Diggins and with others. That was the level. Sixth place was the maximum performance, Joensuu said.
Pärmäkoski tried to raise the ranking in the second round. He shot to the top of the whole group, but lost his place.
– When I was alongside under the bridges, the others also picked up the pace. Then I was in a bit of a bad place. The shock was when the steeper hoe bit is that narrow. I swam back to the same place. That in itself made no sense.
– Maybe it wasn’t the best leg today. This race came a little quickly, he pointed to Saturday’s combined race.

According to Joensuu, the speed of the world leader started to be felt at the end of the second round. He did not answer what the final program of the World Cup looks like.
– Please ask From Jussi Piiro and Juho from Halo (coaches). Let’s see how we recover and start fighting.
According to Pärmäkoski, the changed, snowy conditions even out the differences between the skiers. He was optimistic about the future.
– Gloves are not put on the counter yet. There will be good races.
