After the men's 15 km free yesterday, SVT Sports reporter Moa Jörnmark did an interview with Iivo Niskanen.
She asked about the race - he talked about that teammate Lauri Lepistö is single and looking for a girl.
One wonders how the joke was received.
- It was a good joke.
It was not nasty.
We have a good atmosphere in the team and that can happen, says Lepistö.
Did you know about that?
- No not really.
When I ate lunch, the guys from the race came and told me about an interview and asked if I had seen it.
I did not have that and then they revealed it all.
- It was funny.
At first I laughed a lot, but now that a day has passed and I have received many text messages and many reporters have called me, it is not as fun anymore.
But still a little fun.
You have received many text messages?
- Yes.
Positive?
- All possible.
Have you got a girl?
- No.
It takes more than a day.
Niskanen has a theory.
- He has so much to think about.
One can only hope that someone is good enough for him.
He has high demands.
People think I should give again. How do you think it should go?
- We will see what happens during the World Cup.
You have time to think of something.
