Viaplay ski expert Sami Jauhojärvi Niskanen does not believe that spiritual warfare is going on.

“Skiathlon was one of Iivo’s personal main trips in Trondheim. When he announces that he can’t get involved in such a good time, it tells about a serious situation, ”says Jauhojärvi.

”

Now, no skiing is down.

Jauhojärvi It would have been important for Niskanen to be able to join the first Distant trip to the World Cup.

The skier would have received a cross -competition and confirmation of impact.

“When he can’t participate in that race, at least for me, it is a very clear signal that no bluff is. Skiathlon would have been an important stage for Iivo on his way to the main goal. ”

Lake Jauhojärvi is sure that the combination race would have been well suited to Niskanen.

“By the traditional section, he would have been easy if he wanted. On the other hand, the free time would have been a lot of meandering Wassu rising, which Iivo skied in the same type of terrain in Cogna in late January. ”

Niskanen’s main trip 10 kilometers of traditional skiing and temporary start will be skiing in Trondheim on Tuesday next week.

Before his illness, Niskanen was a giant favorite.

The duration of illness, severity and post -followers are key issues.

“There are a lot of long -line troops as journalists who got used to Björn Dählien In the 1990s, Dählie was always “sore” before the value races. Those statements were his way of taking pressure down. Norway is still living in time. ”

Dählie achieved nine world championships and eight Olympic golds in her career.

Last November after the Olos cannon race, Jauhojärvi did not buy Niskanen’s speeches Bad condition.

“Those stuff went to the joke. There was nothing new to say, and he couldn’t say frankly that the anointing could go into the booklet. As long as you wanted to get out of the media area suddenly. This fresh story is quite different. ”

Month Before the previous World Championships in 2023, Niskanen shot to the Norwegian media that he was only attending Planica and there is no chance for the top positions. The statements were labeled a joke in Norway.

That weekend, Niskanen commented to Yle that there is no reason to panic about finding a fit.

If Niskanen He is involved in 10 kilometers in Trondheim on Tuesday, and will be publicized to update his situation by the eve of the race.

“I can’t say if there are signals in the performance, which could be inferred. Iivo is able to take the media at a press conference and may behave how it hurts. Only he himself and a very small circle around know what the impact is, ”comments Olympic champion Sami Jauhojärvi.
