You were played this weekend in Vuokatti the first international competitions on snow valid as first trial of Suomen Cup, the Finnish national network of cross-country skiing. The program included the classic technique sprint on Saturday and today the two relays of 3x6km male and female clubs 3x4km Skating played sull''ostico track proceeds set within the renowned Institute of Sport Kainuu.
In the men's sprint for specialists in double poling victory and '' went to Matias Strandvall that in one to two sprint has monitored the final comeback of teammate Ristomatti Hakola. The podium of this sprint still held by the 6 finalists whole step push goes to the new name and Vuorinen specialist who preceded the pi & ugrave; quoted Ketel ä; and Pentsinen .Assenti because '' still in training on the glacier of Val Senales the two big Suomi: Matti Heikkinen and Iivo Niskanen. & nbsp;
Ranking & nbsp; Final Men & nbsp ;:
1) Matias Strandvall & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & Nbsp; 3 '' 03 & rdquo; 93
2) Ristomatti Hakola & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; + 1 & rdquo; 79
3) Lauri VUORINEN & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; + 4 & rdquo; 67 & nbsp;
In the women's absences gi & agrave; announced P & ä ä rm; Koski and Kerttu Niskanen were added on the eve also the Malvalehto package, Mononen and the local & nbsp promise; Katri Lylynper ä; .
Without history, given the lack of real opponents, the victory of a still positive Anne Kyll & ouml; nen that preceded clear break with Andrea Julin and evergreen Ann-Mary ä; ht & ä ä v; which he benefited from the disqualification of Hannah Varjus to climb again on the final podium. & nbsp; & nbsp;
Final Women & nbsp; & nbsp;
1) Anne Kyll & ouml; NEN & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; 3 '' 48 & rdquo; 33
2) Andrea JULIN & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; + 7 & rdquo; 32

But today in the relay sentitissime for ski clubs Skating Anne Kyll & ouml; nen is confirmed gi & agrave; in a position with the best time in the women's field while Hakola did the same for men.
FIS to launch this new rule and to discuss the future of the classical technique needed well 2 Fis Meeting, endless discussions with sub-committees, then transferred 800 delegates up to Cancun for the general congress. With the end result to approve last month pi & ugrave; ineffective rule ever launched in the history of the discipline.
A Vuokatti have only had a glimpse of the new rule of '' 83% which should reduce the double poling. But if the premises are not all that they are and igrave, the utopian predictions of the FIS delegates of Sweden and Finland: & ldquo; Cross-country skiing in the next few years saw the paucity of ideas sull''argomento "preserve the classic" will have & agrave; inevitably follow the furrow imposed by biathlon and Nordic combined, and you will have & agrave; adapted to have one technique, skating. And this presumably partir & agrave; the next 4/5 years now & ldquo ;.
Because cos & igrave; the situation at the FIS in recent years we can safely assign as soundtrack for cross-country skiing an old success of the Irish band U2 which reads & ldquo; Running to stand still & ldquo; . Few ideas and most importantly & ugrave; very confusing.
At Ruka we will have the rebuttal but the images came from Vuokatti not promise anything good for devotees of traditional & ldquo; diagonal stride & ldquo; .
