After the turbulent World Cup opening in Klingenthal
there's not much time to relax for everyone. The
World Cup continues already on Thursday with the
training and qualification in Kuusamo.
Near the Arctic Circle in northern Finland everything
is already prepared and right now it also looks
good concerning the weather conditions. "We
have enough snow and the weather forecast is very
good for the upcoming weekend. Temperatures remain
below zero and hopefully we will get some sun on
the end of the week", says Seppo Linjakump,
General Secretary of the Ruka Nordic Opening.
Not only the ski jumpers, but also cross country
skiers and nordic combined athletes will fight for
World Cup wins in Kuusamo and the preparations for
the events are going according to plan. "The
setting-up of the event venue is on schedule. During
Tuesday and Wednesday the stadium will be ready
for action. Some teams are already here for training",
told Linjakumpu.
