The legendary Finnish-Swedish match for athletics is celebrating its 100th anniversary this weekend in Stockholm.
The event will begin on Friday at the Stockholm Olympic Stadium, but the weather forecast may change the original plans.
According to the Swedish Finnish Meteorological Institute’s SMHI, up to 15 millimeters of rain is coming to Stockholm on Friday, and the strongest rain occurs in the afternoon and evening.
As a result, the organizers decided to move the triangular jump to Saturday, says the Swedish magazine Expressen.

On Friday, however, the program will remain in the 10 kilometers of men and women, which are scheduled.
In the triangle of the Finnish team, women compete Vilma Itälinna, Enni and Jessica Rautelin as well as men Joni Heikkinen, Tarmo Savola and Aleksi Savolainen.
