The Finnish Federation announced the names of the athletes selected for the first three stages of the season. Despite the bibs are available 4, it was decided to convene only 3 women. It is not excluded that Hochfilzen and Annecy Le Grand Bornand can add a fourth element in such a way to deploy the relay. BELOW THE PRESENTATION OF FINLAND FOR WOMEN, MEN FOR THE SECTOR IS ENOUGH CLICK ON THESE WORDS SELECTED FOR Ã–STERSUNDLAUKKANEN Mari (1987) MÃ¤kÃ¤rÃ¤inen Kaisa (1983) Sanna Markkanen (1990) Kaisa MÃ¤kÃ¤rÃ¤inen, after so many seasons as a medium-high level athlete, exploded forcefully immediately after the Olympic Games in Vancouver becoming one of the landmarks of the women's circuit. In the last three winters the thirties today'' has always closed the overall ranking in the top five, winning the World Cup in 2010/2011. However, his 2012/2013 was somewhat disappointing due to a precision deficiatria. The 76.9% overall (83.8% and 70.0% on the ground in feet) made last year the worst of his career of thirty years of Joensuu than ever since he competes on a permanent basis in the maximum circuit had concluded a season below 80%. To remedy the shortcomings in the technical pitch of the shot Juha Hirvi, hired in 2012, was immediately removed and replaced by the horse back Asko Nuutinen. As regards the bottom MÃ¤kÃ¤rÃ¤inen will instead always followed by his personal coach Jarmo Punkkinen, which in the past has followed Manuela Di Centa. Kaisa is undoubtedly one of the candidates to win the Crystal Ball and 2014 Sochi will compete to enter the history of biathlon. Should he win a medal'' Olympic gold would become the fifth athlete after Kati Wilhelm, Andrea Henkel, Magdalena Neuner and Tora Berger to win all three of the most prestigious laurels. The second strength of the team, Mari Laukkanen, has far less radical perspectives. In 2008, still in junior age, this girl had raised great hopes and finished twenty-sixth in the sprint at Holmenkollen. Expectations for her were only partially met. The twenty-six of Vuokatti athlete became unable to attend to repeat in the first 30 positions, but the neighborhoods of the standings have always been the prelcusi due to an accuracy overall deficit. '' The goal of Laukkanen will be to mark points consistently and make occasional exploits in the races in which were to be assisted by the fire. Beyond the two points, the rest of the Finnish movement is small. The number three of the team, and last convened for Ã–stersund, is Sanna Markkanen for which a possible entry into the points would be a resounding finish. More plausibly twenty-three of Kuopio will struggle to qualify for the chase. Finland also has available a quarter breastplate, but in the light of the above, about Markkanen, it is clear that currently there are no other girls in the most competitive circuit.
