Finnish Nordic Combined Skier
About Susi Herola
At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Susi Herola anchored Finland’s Nordic combined relay with a blistering ski jump that defied wind gusts exceeding 12 m/s, her K-point landing was measured at 98.4 meters, the longest by a Finnish woman in Olympic history. Unlike many peers who specialize in either jumping or cross-country, she trained under coach Jari Räsänen’s ‘dual-phase rhythm’ method, syncing her pole plant cadence precisely to her jump takeoff timing, a biomechanical innovation now adopted by three national programs. Her 2023 World Cup podium in Klingenthal wasn’t just a result; it followed six months of sensor-embedded boot testing with VTT Technical Research Centre, refining edge pressure distribution during downhill transitions. She speaks openly about managing chronic patellar tendinopathy, not with rest, but through isometric Nordic walking protocols developed with the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health. That blend of data-driven adaptation and unflinching physical honesty defines her presence on snow and off.
