Skiers’ race mornings can be difficult.
MM-hero Lauri Vuorinen and Johanna Matintalo also live together on race trips.
The couple has continued the same way for a long time. It has been useful for both.
Staying together makes it easier for the race and helps you stay healthy when Vuorinen and Matintalo do not have to shake the hotel back and forth in each other’s rooms.
However, the housing arrangement also has one downside.
– If the other has no race, or if there is a race and John much earlier the same day, he will have to wake up early and may wake up. It’s the only minus, but rare, Vuorinen says.
Are you good at falling asleep again?
– I’m pretty good. However, I go to bed so early. And rarely do the revival before seven.

For racing trips, a common leisure time is simple.
– All you have to do is do nothing but chat. Here, too, there are insanely small hotel rooms, so you can’t do much activity, Vuorinen says.
Rise is hanging
Vuorinen will be paired with Ristomatti Hakola in Wednesday’s sprint message. The World Championship bronze medal does not feel that the team’s impact has deteriorated with the absence of Iivo Niskanen.
– It changed a bit. If you think about the first part, Rise is extremely hard hanging. Iivo is more active, he analyzes.
– Norway is a pretty overwhelming advance. The golden gold goes there forcibly. 2-3. France, Sweden, Italy, USA and Czech Republic will compete in positions. We have a good chance of a medal, but also a good chance not to take the medal.
