The Finnish Ski Association is struggling with financial difficulties, and domestic skiing is seeking new paths. Due to tight finances, the training camps for national team skiers are faltering, and in ski jumping and Nordic combined, coaches have practically been put on vacation for the summer season. In skiing circles, there is discussion about whether the traditional model with national teams is the only correct way to achieve success in skiing. In the Ski Classics series, all teams are more or less commercial professional teams, and the same direction may also be the future for long-distance skiers. At least, this is what Simo-Viljami Ojanen, team manager of Team Electrofit and founder of Electrofit Oy, believes.
