Yle’s editor received a grant – Krista Pärmäkoski’s biography is wanted: “What book?”

Laura Arffman gathers the skier’s story between the covers.

Krista from Pärmäkoski, 32, has a biopic coming out. Yleisradio reporter Laura Arffman38, compiles the skier’s story between the covers.

– What a book, Pärmäkoski laughs.

Earlier this year, Arffman received a grant of 7,000 euros from the Foundation for the Promotion of Journalistic Culture (Jokes) to “write the biography of a cross-country skier”.

– We’ve done that to some extent.

If Pärmäkoski’s career had ended in the spring of 2023, a potential alternative for publishing the biography was during the 2023–24 ski season.

– Time will tell when it will be published, Pärmäkoski states.

The skier has decided to continue his career classically one season at a time.
