Finland team for WOC 2006

The Finland WOC 2006 Team consists of 13 runners. Heli Jukkola is the best on the World Ranking in the team with a 3rd position. However, all of the Finish team is strong as usually, and all of the team can fight for gold medals on both the individual distances and on the relay. Jani Lakanen impressed everybody with his gold medal at the long distance at EOC in Estonia this spring, but super-fast Mårten Boström's gold chances at the sprint distance may be even higher. Take a look at the results of this years Finnish WOC runners below - and get impressed! There should be a possibility for some medals for this strong team in Denmark!

Finally gold for Heli?
Heli Jukkola has several individual WOC, EOC and NOC medals - but still waits for the gold medal. Fighting against Simone Niggli is not easy - but Heli is one the women who can step up on the top of the podium if Simone has just a tiny glitch in her concentration...
