Review

The Finnish Olympic Committee had set a goal of 12 medals for the 2010 Winter Olympics, and considered the result of 5 medals far weaker than expected. By discipline, it summarized in its annual report: "The most positive results were achieved in ice hockey, snowboarding and figure skating, whereas the performances in cross-country skiing, ski jumping, Nordic combined and biathlon were clearly below the expected."

The central conclusions drawn by the Olympic committee on coaching issues on which to take action towards 2014 were:

  • The role and leadership of head coaches were weak.
  • The competence of the coaching of national sports federations was inadequate.
  • The ratio of decentralized and centralized exercise was distorted.
  • Know-how in mental training was weak.
  • The emphasis of ski maintenance has elevated in winter sports.

    • Cross-country skiing
