Lauri Mannila’s move to long-distance racing brought a new direction to his career – and an immediate reward with bronze at the Nationals in Inari. He explains how the change reignited his motivation and what opportunities Ski Classics offers for Finnish skiers.
Team Edux made clear progress during the Ski Classics season under the leadership of Lauri Mannila, and Isac Holmström rose to strong form after early difficulties. Kati Roivas’ season fell short of expectations in terms of results, but overall Finnish skiers showed promising performances, and a hunger for next winter.
After a strong weekend in Marcialonga Bodø, Team Edux and Kati Roivas head into the decisive finale of the Ski Classics Pro Tour with confidence and determination.
With only two weekends and three races left in the Ski Classics Pro Tour, Team Edux is eager for success as they prepare for the Marcialonga Bodø in Norway.
The ski season has started, but the weather continues to fluctuate in some areas, and conditions on many early-season snow tracks are far from ideal. So how should you train at this time of year?
Team Edux continues to carry the Finnish flag in Ski Classics. After finishing 15th in the Pro Team ranking during Season XVI, the squad enters the new winter as the only Finnish team on the Pro Tour, proudly representing the blue-and-white colors on the international stage.
A new and exciting name is emerging on the Finnish long-distance skiing scene. Lauri Mannila, who made a name for himself in sprint skiing, has taken a determined turn in his career and is now aiming for success in the Ski Classics series.
Team Edux held its first training camp of the summer in Vuokatti at the turn of June and July. The Pro Team now has an ambitious goal: to raise the bar even higher and push closer to the top of the Ski Classics Pro Tour. One of the athletes leading this charge is Lauri Mannila, who has left sprint skiing behind to pursue success in long-distance skiing, to reach the very top of the sport.
After winning the world’s longest ski race last winter, Sweden’s Sofia Lindberg is setting her sights on breaking into the top 10 of the Ski Classics Pro Tour.
Team Edux is aiming for a clear step forward next season. One of the Pro Team athletes expected to raise his level is the experienced Isac Holmström, originally from Åland, for whom Vasaloppet will once again be the main race of Ski Classics Season XVII.
