At the end of the 'head coach Petter Kukkonen decided to convene the following athletes:
H & auml; RTULL Jim (1990) HEROLA Ilkka (1995) Mutru Leevi (1995) SALO Jussi (1991) V & auml; H & auml; S & Öland; YRINKI Eetu (1990)
The head coach said that apart Herola, whose presence was obvious, you & egrave; decided to convene Mutru and H & auml; rtull based on the results obtained in the World Cup and in particular to the fact that we have entered into the points.
Instead Jussi Salo and Eetu V & auml; h & auml; s & ouml; yrinki were selected based on the results of a home game played in JYV & auml; skyl & auml; over the weekend. Therefore the 'excellent excluded & egrave; Janne Ryyn & auml; nen, entered into the points in the maximum circuit in the current season.
Finland, once a superpower of the discipline, & egrave; for years now plunged into a crisis from which it is trying to get out slowly.
Very hard to think of a Finnish medal and all hopes of a good result or a placing in the top ten, are placed in Herola.
