Lauri Asikainen

Winter Sports

Lauri Asikainen, born on 28 May 1989 in Savonlinna, is a Finnish former Nordic combined athlete, a discipline that pairs a ski jumping competition with a cross-country skiing race. He started out as a ski jumper and won team bronze at the 2007 World Junior Championships in Tarvisio. He then switched to Nordic combined and made his senior debut at the 2009 World Championships in Liberec. His career therefore ran from junior ski jumping through senior Nordic combined to coaching, and he is now the hill coach of the Finland Nordic combined team.
