Finnish cross-country skiing is abuzz with excitement as the team prepares for Wednesday's pairs sprint in Val di Fiemme, featuring teams composed of Jasmi Joensuu and Jasmin Kähärä, and Lauri Vuorinen and Joni Mäki. Kähärä, a first-time participant in such an important competition, expressed eagerness and readiness for the event. Interestingly, Kähärä's selection came as a surprise to some, as many anticipated Kerttu Niskanen, a more established athlete, to join Joensuu, especially due to the challenging nature of the Val di Fiemme course which is longer and heavier than typical World Cup tracks.
