It was expected that Poromaa would sooner or later stand on the podium.

But not right now, Anders Blomquist thinks.

- It was a little surprising.

It has been going on but I thought he had a little longer distance there, like this after the Olympics and some discharges.

But he is constantly evolving, both in capacity and tactics.

I thought maybe he would strike in the last race of the World Cup when the others were not as motivated.

What is his strength?

- He has the basic physical talent, he trains very hard and can withstand training very well.

In addition, he is a smart skier.

He learns from each race, about the starting speed and how to set up the races.

Can there be more now?

- For young skiers who are on the move, there can often be more, there can be more podium places now.

But the younger ones are also a bit uneven so it's not safe.
