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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Susi Herola compete in both individual and team events at Beijing 2022?
Yes, she placed 7th in the individual Gundersen (10 km cross-country + HS106 jump) and anchored Finland’s 4×5 km relay team to 5th place, the nation’s best Olympic finish in Nordic combined since 2002. Her relay jump contributed 22.3 points to the team’s total, the highest single-jump contribution among all women competitors.
What role does the Finnish Ski Association play in supporting women’s Nordic combined?
The association launched its Women’s Nordic Combined Development Program in 2019, co-founded by Herola and former Olympian Janne Ahonen. It provides dedicated jump ramp access at Puijo, gender-specific equipment grants, and mandatory biomechanical screening for all U23 athletes, Herola serves as its technical advisor.
Has Susi Herola broken any national records in Nordic combined?
She holds the Finnish women’s record for longest ski jump in competition: 102.2 meters at the 2023 World Cup in Oberstdorf. She also set the national standard for fastest 10 km cross-country time in Nordic combined format (25:41.3) at the 2021 national championships in Vuokatti.
Why is Nordic combined still not an Olympic event for women?
The IOC requires minimum participation across five continents and at least 12 nations with competitive depth. As of 2024, only eight countries field full women’s teams, Finland, Germany, USA, Japan, France, Norway, Austria, and Estonia. Herola has testified before the FIS Gender Equity Commission advocating for standardized hill classifications and shared training infrastructure to accelerate growth.
