The Finnish national team faced a setback at the Milan-Cortina Olympics, where they did not advance past the second round in the ski jumping super team competition. Niko Kytösaho and Antti Aalto, representing Finland, finished ninth in the second round, with only the best eight teams moving forward. Following the competition, Kytösaho shared his disappointment during a post-event interview, stating that the performance was poor and did not meet expectations.

The aftermath of the competition was further complicated by the recent dismissal of the team's head coach, Igor Medved, who was sent home from the Olympics due to issues related to alcohol use. During the interview, Kytösaho was asked if he still trusted Medved as coach, to which he hesitated to respond, highlighting the tension surrounding the team's situation. This uncertainty surrounding the coach's future raised questions about the team's stability and morale as they faced international competition.

Discourses regarding Medved's potential continuation as head coach were also echoed during Yle's broadcasts, where ski jumping legend Janne Ahonen was queried about the situation. The fallout from both the performance and the coach's scandal reflects not only on the athletes but also on Finnish ski jumping's reputation on the world stage, placing pressure on future competitions and coaching decisions.
