The World Cup event in Falun, Sweden, saw a disappointing representation from Finland, with only one female skier, Vilma Ryytty, competing in the women’s combined event. Prominent Finnish athletes such as Kerttu Niskanen, Johanna Matintalo, and Jasmi Joensuu were notably absent. During the race, Ryytty initially kept pace with the leaders in the classical segment but faced severe difficulties in the freestyle portion due to serious ski issues. Her struggles during the latter part of the race led to her finishing in 28th place, over three minutes behind the winner, Norway’s Heidi Weng.
