The Finns jumped in their personal race of the last World Cup of the season on Friday. Kytösaho’s 214-meter jump was enough instead of 35. In the test round, Kytösaho dropped 233 meters.
Nousiainen was 40th. Blue and white colors were not seen in the second round.
– The test round was a good bet compared to the fact that the back has been a lot of trouble today, Kytösaho commented in the Ski Association’s press release.
– When jumping means nothing, I can jump well. But when you should run in a race, there will be nothing. At no point was it possible to fly properly and the entire flight was unbalanced.
A team competition was jumped out at Planica on Saturday. Finland was seventh with eight teams involved.
The Finnish Championships in Normaalimäki will take place in Rovaniemi next weekend.
