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.
