The Finnish Ski Federation, yesterday, through an official press release, announced that the cross-country ski team will regularly take part in the Tour de Ski, scheduled from 1 to 10 January 2021.
So also Finland (the only Scandinavian national who had not yet decided whether or not to participate in this competition) will take part in the stage event that will be played between Switzerland and Italy, as Sweden had announced in recent days; both will not be in the race anyway until the first stage of the Tourr de Ski, from the moment that, after having skipped the Davos stage, they will not even be present in Dresden. Norway, thus, remains the only nation that we will not see at the Tour de Ski, and most likely the situation will continue in this direction until the World Championships in Oberstdorf, scheduled for February.
"The athletes want to participate and their will was decisive; - says the Finnish coach Teemu Pasanen - we have organized everything down to the smallest detail to avoid too many contacts with the outside world. Furthermore, the Tour de Ski represents an excellent preparation test in sight. of the world cup ".
"The most risky moment will be the air travel, in fact we have organized a sort of bubble, even if some external contacts during the flight phases must necessarily be there. Upon returning home after the competition, the regular test and quarantine protocol will follow. by the authorities "- concludes the doctor of the Finnish Olympic Committee, Maarit Valtonen.
