Finnish cross-country skier Jasmi Joensuu, 29, has announced that she will participate in her final Olympics at Milano-Cortina. While she has not yet concluded her professional skiing career, Joensuu recognized that she will not compete in the next Olympic Games in France four years from now. Her decision is still developing as she considers her future in the sport throughout the current season. Joensuu has not set a deadline for herself regarding her decision on whether to continue competing or retire from professional skiing.

In addition to her competitive career, significant life changes are also on the horizon for Joensuu. Moving away from Rovaniemi, she has yet to decide on a new location but will leave her hometown behind. Throughout the past year, Joensuu has lived a somewhat nomadic lifestyle, influenced by her relationship with Swiss ice hockey player Markus Granlund, which has required her to frequently relocate. The choice of her future residence may hinge upon Granlund's work situation, emphasizing how intertwined their careers are.

Joensuu's story has been highlighted by local media, particularly Lapin Kansa, indicating her trajectory and the upcoming transition she faces both in her athletic career and personal life. As she prepares for her last Olympic sprint, there is a sense of both closure and anticipation as she navigates these substantial changes.
