FIS Maailmancupin kilpailut lajeittain 2014-19

Suomalaisilla on jostain syystä perinteisen tyylin kilpailut olleet mieluisampia ja vahvempia.
Yllättäen vapaan tyylin sprinttikilpailuja on määrällisesti tällä kaudella ollut eniten. Osa kuulunee erilaisiin toureihin osakilpailuna ja niihin myös yleishiihtäjät osallistuvat. Joillakin mailla hiihtäjät ovat erikoistuneet sprintteihin enemmän esim. Ranska.

Tässä alla taulukko viiden kauden eri kilpailumuodoista alkaen 2014-15 ja päättyen 2018-2019.
Tänä kautena on ensimmäistä kertaa ollut sprinttiviesti perinteisellä tyylillä, kun taas perinteisen sprinttikisoja on ollut kaksi vähemmän kuin aiemmin. Vastaavasti vapaan tyylin sprinttejä on taas tällä kaudella ollut selkeästi enemmän aiempiin vuosiin verrattuna.

Distanssimatkoilla perinteisen ja  vapaan kisoja on ollut suurinpiirtein sama määrä 7-8.
Selkeästi on nähtävissä skiathlonin väheneminen, josta (laji) suuri osa urheilijoistakaan ei taida tykätä.

Onneksi perinteisen tyylin kisoja on vielä ollut 11 kertaa, mutta vapaalla on kisattu 18 kertaa. Mikä tulee olemaan jatkossa suunta? Tuleeko vapaa tyyli painottumaan vielä enemmän?

FIS Holmenkollen (NOR) 9.-10.3.2019

Holmenkollen National Ski arena is one of Norway's most visited tourist attractions. Since 1892 the arena has hosted competitions in Nordic skiing. In 2011 the FIS World Championships Nordic took place in the venue, and in February 2016 Holmenkollen was the host for the IBU World Championships Biathlon.

The courses and the cross country stadium in Holmenkollen are in use during the whole year for training and competitions for the top athletes as well as the sport club youngsters that love cross country skiing and biathlon.

The entire ski jump and arena was rebuilt before the FIS World Championships Nordic in 2011. The ski jump was designed by the Danish firm JDS Architects. Their design brings together all the amenities contained in the jump: rather than having a series of dispersed pavilions, everything from the judge's booths and the Royal family to the souvenir shop and the entrance to the museum are contained in one holistic diagram.

The jump is made out of 1000 tons of steel and raises about 60 meters in the air. The top is cut horizontally to accommodate a viewing platform with a panoramic view of Oslo and surrounding areas.

Seefeldin 2019 parran pärinää

Seefeldin kisat ovat takana ja parran pärinä ainakin Suomalaisten urheilijoiden suoritusten taustoista on mediassa ja somessa käynnissä.

Odotuksia menestyksestä oli erilaisia, joista osa lienee toiveajattelua ja toiset enemmän realismia. Urheiluhullut-ohjelmassa suomalainen ex. menestyshiihtäjä Virpi Kuitunen ja hiihtoniilo Axa Sorjonen pohtivat menestyksen mahdollisuuksia. Virpi toi hyvin esille, että jos on alkukausi maailmancupissa mennyt lähelle podiumsijoituksia, niin voi olla mahdollista hyvänä päivänä parantaa tasoaan ja päästä mitaleille, mutta heikommilta sijoilta tuo tuntuu jo enemmän mahdottomalta. Täytyy ottaa huomioon, että kaikki urheilijat tähtäävät hyvää kuntopiikkiä juuri arvokisojen aikaan. Toki aina on sairastumisia ja epäonnea huollossa, jotka voivat tuoda mahdollisuuden. Osa kilpailijoista on kisannut säästeliäästi ja heidän kuntonsa voi olla enemmän arvoitus.

Yllättävää on ollut muutamien nuorten hiihtäjien kova kansainvälinen taso jo junnusarjalaisena (esim. Kläebo, Bolshuynov ja Karlsson). Tämä aiheuttaa varmasti pohdintaa valmennuksen kehittämiseksi uuden hiihdon vaatimuksia vastaavaksi. Voisimme samalla kehittää myös suomalaisten vapaan tyyliin osaamista, vaikka se on ollut meillä jo kehittämiskohde pidempään. 

YLE on satsannut tälle kaudelle huomattavasti talvilajien näyttämiseen, minkä penkkiurheiljat myös katsojamäärien mukaan ovat ottaneet hyvin vastaan. Luulen, että talossa ollaan tosissaan tsempattu asiaan ja haetaan sopivia ja kiinnostavia toimintamalleja. Sami Jauhojärvi on Kalle Lassilan kanssa toiminut YLE:llä asiantuntijoina ja omasta mielestäni he ovat ottaneet aika rohkeasti kantaa välillä. On tietenkin mielenkiintoista kuulla vähän taustoja ja saada lisätietoa maajoukkueen toimintatavoista, valmentautumisesta, huollosta ja asiantuntijan näkemys kisasta. Mediassa on nähtävissä kisojen aikana myös klikkiotsikoita, joiden sisältämä varsinainen asia jää joskus kepoiseksi. En tiedä, minkä alan asiantuntijoita niiden kirjoittajat ovat.

Otsikoita sen sijaan saa olla jälleen esille tulleesta dopingista, johon toivoisi kansainvälisen hiihtoliiton suhtautuvan napakammin. Ei ole lajille millään avalla myönteistä, että tapauksia jälleen tuli ilmi. Heikkisen ehdottama 4 vuoden kilpailukielto olisi yksi ratkaisu.
Kuvakaappaus YLE Seefeld

Eräs asia, joka on mietityttänyt on urheilijan hankala tilanne haastatteluvyöhykkeellä (ks. kuva) juuri kisan jälkeen, jossa täytyy kulkea karsinoiden läpi päästäkseen pois maalialueelta.
Tunteet ovat varmasti pinnassa sekä voiton tai häviön jälkeen ja järki jää joskus toiseksi. Voi kuvitella, että kovin analyyttistä pohdintaa oman suorituksen taustoista lienee mahdoton suoltaa tunteiden vallatessa ajatukset. Toki ymmärrän, että urheilijalle on myös tärkeää saada medianäkyvyyttä ja median saada polttoainetta juttuihin.
Lahti 2017

Urheilijoiden kommentit suksista heti kisan jälkeen ovat nostaneet keskustelua mediassa. Huolto kokee tulleensa suolatuksi ja toivoo keskustelua ensin huollon kanssa ennen lausuntoa medialle. Mitenköhän tuo hoidettaisiin jatkossa tyylikkäämmin?

Onko urheilijoiden kritiikki ollut välineitä vai huoltoa kohtaan? Kalle summasi  (2:01:50) "Koko kisojen ajan suomalaisurheilijoiden välineet ovat olleet joko siinä kilapailukykyisten rajamailla tai huonoja". Samin mukaan urheilijoiden tulisi testata enemmän suksiaan ja olla aktiivisempia talleihin päin.

Sami taisi tuoda esille jossain kisassa, että Keski-Euroopan märille lumille ei käytännössä ole testattu suksia tai voiteita kuin harvakseltaan keväällä. Jos näin on, niin se on yksi kehittämiskohde maajoukkuehuollolle ja -urheilijoille. Asiaan kannattaa Seefeldin kokemusten perusteella satsata enemmän, koska seuraavatkin MM-kilpailut ovat Saksassa.
