The higher expectations are pinned on women, the authors of a great start to the season. In the words of head coach Reijo Jyhl & auml; about: & ldquo; We chose four girls expert, and the good start to the season increases our expectations for the Tour de Ski. As the season progresses we will launch new athletes in the World Cup as we did for Susanna (Saapunki, editor's note), which will & agrave; our fifth girl in the Tour & rdquo ;. Saapunki is therefore preferred to Riitta-Liisa Roponen, which therefore probably not garegger & agrave; pi & ugrave; Tour de Ski in career.
Jyhl & auml; expects a sharp even by men: & ldquo; Last weekend & egrave; It was indeed modest, but I think that under the leadership of Matti Heikkinen the other guys can recover and get good results. Ristomatti (Hakola) and Anssi (Pentsinen) were chosen for their good performances in the sprint early season & rdquo ;.
So the game will be 12 cross-country skiers, 5 women and 7 men. This l & rsquo; list of those summoned.
