Jasmi Joensuu and Kerttu Niskanen won – Harri Kirvesniemi excited

Expert Harri Kirvesniemi Gives crunchy praise in cogna’s pair to celebrate Kerttu Niskanen and Jasmi to Joensuu.

“It was a strong bet from both!”

Joensuu solved the first place with the anchorage, with the mid -distance he escaped Germany Coletta at Rydzek. Joensuu went on to the last run in second place over three seconds behind Germany.

The preliminary favorite of the competition was two seconds behind Finland in the final change.

“The end of the last leg of Kerttu was important that Sweden could not go to Jasmi’s position. Their anchor Maja Dahlqvist It is not the sharpest departure, which turned out to be a decisive thing today, ”says Kirvesniemi.

According to Kirvesniemi, it also rained in Finnish lacquer that Germany was number one for the anchorage.

“Thanks to it, Jasmi dared to leave hard. It was also good that Germany was ahead of Finland with the first downhill, and Jasmmi received some help from Rydzek, ”he says.

Sweden was second in the end and Germany was third.

Joensuu Didn’t wait after catching up Rydzek. The Finn’s final bet was long and powerful.

“Jasmi was able to make the most of his greatest strength, the maximum speed of the sprint,” Kirvesniemi says.

For years, Joensuu has shown that sprint success will not be caught. His ability to maintain a fast travel pace is a particularly tough weapon in the Parisprint, where skiers have to bang in three sections in about 20 minutes.

The traditional pair sprint will also be skied at the Trondheim World Cup in early March.

“The biggest pre -favorite or Sweden is likely to ski in Trondheim Jonna Sundlingia so that he is responsible for the speed. Whenever the pace is kept, the group breaks down, which forces you to ski reasonably briskly on every leg. That’s where Jasmi is particularly strong. ”

Sundling was not in the Cogne race.

Kirvesniemi In the opinion of Niskanen, he is still excited about his World Cup’s pair, even though he handled his stake on Friday.

“The victory in itself was a great thing, but it also delighted that Krista Pärmäkoski It was so good. There are now alternatives to the World Championships, ”says the expert.

Pärmäkoski skiing Jasmin’s Kähärä With the Finnish second team, finished seventh. Pärmäkoski, who took the opening leg, remained handsome in all three performances in Niskanen’s position.

For the last exchange, he came just 0.5 seconds after Niskanen.

“They were pretty smooth. It may be that the Trondheim track favors Kerttu because there are more uphill than Cognus, ”Kirvesniemi ponders.

Pärmäkoski was truly silent in the last weekend’s Cup race in Engadin. However, he suffered from equipment problems.

“This was a really positive sample from Krista. He has a rising fitness and no conclusions can be drawn yet for the World Cup. Message teams are only viewed when it is known who are in order. ”
