Perttu Hyvärinen has a truce with the Ski Association.
Perttu Hyvärinen and the commercial director of the Ski Association Jari-Pekka Jouppi made a truce on Monday in the so-called advertising frenzy.
On Tuesday, Hyvärinen revealed that the matter has not been discussed to the end.
– Let’s continue the same story. This didn’t end there. The sequel will come in Finland, says Hyvärinen.
The commotion started after last Friday’s combined race, when Hyvärinen had a snack package from his personal sponsor in TV interviews. This violated the athlete contract between the athlete and the Ski Association.
After that, Hyvärinen’s manager Toy Ojansivu and Jouppi sparred in public about, among other things, whether the manager is allowed to sell Hyvärinen’s World Cup outfit. A breach of contract of 3,000 euros would be offset by the sale.
PASI LEISMA
How purposeful was it when you took the snack package for TV pictures?
– Sometimes I can tell the background. You could become an actor without a script. Let’s take care of the World Cup first, Hyvärinen answers.
The skier describes that the incident got under the skin, so to speak.
– The uproar is forgotten with the next uproar. I started to play a rather small role. I have sat on the bus and watched as the other side of the fence presses the gas, Hyvärinen states.
– During the forest fire warning, I was playing with matches and it got a little bigger. I can’t deny that I wouldn’t have taken a little stress from this, he continues.
Hyvärinen says that at no point did he want a fairly big uproar.
– Quite a few videos have been self-planned. This is not scripted and it’s all by accident.
IS’s reporter asked Hyvärise on Tuesday what kind of interview the athlete received from the executive director of the Ski Federation From Ismo Hämäläinen.
– We’ve had tough talks, but they’ve been resolved just fine.
Lindholm grinned
PASI LEISMA
Remi Lindholm says that he followed with amusement the trouble that revolved around Hyvärinen.
– Perttu is a showman, Lindholm announced.
He threw a twinkle in the corner of his eye that he would also be ready to break the rules himself.
– So far, I don’t have any sponsors like that. If I could get a beer company as a sponsor, then, LIndholm threw at most half-seriously.
