Jani Tour de Skate voittoon Jyväskylässä

Jani "Pikku-j" Suihkonen voitti Tour de Skate maratonluistelusarjan kolmannen osakilpailun Jyväskylässä. 30km kisa luisteltiin 2,5km lenkkiä kohtalaisessa tuulessa ja mukavassa -10 asteen pakkasessa. Jani teki ratkaisun jo aikaisessa vaiheessa irroten muusta ryhmästä kun matkasta oli taitettu noin ensimmäinen kolmannes. Voitto Jyväskylässä irtosi lopulta ajalla 1.03.

Nordic Fox sai alkuvuodesta riveihinsä helsinkiläisen luistelijalupauksen Tuukka Puurosen. Tuukka on harjoitellut rullaluistelua määrätietoisesti vasta kaksi vuotta, mutta siitä huolimatta hän otti jo viime keväänä ensimmäisen FIC osakilpailuvoitonsa Toijalassa. Lopullinen läpimurto Tuukan kohdalla tapahtui myöhemmin viime kesällä Turun Kakskerran maratonilla, missä hän löi luun kurkkuun myös tuleville tiimikavereillensa.

Tuukan paras ominaisuus on nuorempana hiihtoladuilta ja lenkkipoluilta hankittu erinomainen peruskestävyys. Tavoitteena on vielä kehittää luistelutekniikka ja sitä kautta lajikestävyyttä sekä huippunopeutta. Tuukan päätavoite kaudella 2009 on vakiinnuttaa paikkansa FIC pallilla sekä nostaa itsensä maajoukkueeseen EM-maratonille Belgiaan.

Nordic Fox has got a new skater talent into their team in the beginning of this year. His name is Tuukka Puuronen and he is from Helsinki. He has done other sports and skated many years in the past. But he has motivated on inline speed skating only 2-3 years. Despite of this, he took his first FIC victory at Toijala Marathon last year. The total succeed happened later in the same summer when he won his upcoming team mates in Kakskerta at Turku.

It can be said that Tuukka`s best character is his physical condition. He has trained cross-country skiing and running from his early years. His goal is to develop more of his skating technique and event durability through technique and also the top speed. Tuukka`s goal for the season 2009 is to have FIC podiums at every FIC race. The main goal is of course lift himself into the Finnish national team for European Championships Marathon in Belgium 2009.

"ST1300" antoi tiimille luvan julkaista oikean henkilöllisyytensä ja niinhän siinä kävi, että palkintopuku matkasi Risto Laitiselle Vantaalle. Onnea Risto!

Season Final in Berlin

Last wic race took place in Berlin, Germany as it has been so many years before. This year the weather was perfect, which allowed very fast winning time, 1,00,33. Joey Mantia, USA, did once again amazing final sprint and won the final by one wheel before cup overall winner, Frenchman, Yann Guyader. Joe brake the old course record (Tristan Loy, 1999) by 35 seconds.
From fox family only our Estonian youngsters Danila and Eerik had opportunity to participate the Berlin Real Marathon vol. 35. Neither Danila orDanila's placement was 108 and Eerik's 124. Either of Estonian boys were not in their best but still close to top 100 placements. Danila is having his military training under way and Eerik participated the race right in the middle of his long track training camp. So under those circumstances both boys did quite well.

Guillermo takes points again!

The Argentinean Fox, Guillermo Trinaroli, finished 28th on Zürich top class race. The fastest man in hot Switzerland was Joey Mantia from USA who won the sprint of ten mens break away. Colombian Diego Rosero was second and Yann Guyader from France was third.
