The reason for Kerttu Niskanen's resignation is that she has become ill.

It was announced by the Finnish national team management via twitter that Niskanen was ill with stomach flu.

With the announcement, the 32-year-old has also had to do a covid test, but it was negative.

Became 39: ai sprint

Yesterday, neither Iivo Niskanen, Joni Mäki and Ristomatti Hakola ever got to the start.

Kerttu Niskanen finished 39th in Friday's sprint.
