Teemu Virtanen attempted to break Hans Mäenpää’s impressive Guinness World Record for 24-hour cross-country skiing, which was set at 472.1 kilometers, last spring in Vaajakoski, Jyväskylä, Finland. The record was not broken due to unfavorable weather conditions at the beginning of the journey and a lack of pace skiers. However, Virtanen managed to achieve the second-highest result in the world by skiing 443 kilometers and 5 meters without drafting. Now, his hometown, Lahti’s ski stadium, is the new location for the record attempt, scheduled for January next year.
