Suvi Minkkinen wins the Östersund sprint — Finland on the rise

The race turned out to be difficult for many of the athletes who fought for top positions last season. Only Lou Jeanmonnot managed a solid result, finishing 11th. Others were far behind: Vittozzi 15th, Wierer 17th, Braisaz 47th, Hanna Oeberg 59th, and Preuss did not start at all.

If two days ago we were surprised by Sonja Leinamo’s second place, today Finland delivered another shock. Suvi Minkkinen, for the first time in her career — and the first time for Finland since the Kaisa Mäkäräinen era — captured a World Cup victory.

Anna Magnusson and Oceane Michelon, like Minkkinen, shot clean and joined her on the podium.
