CHS congratulates the entire Finnish Olympic Team for a super performance. Special congratulations to Krista, Iivo, Enni and the ladies’ ice-hockey team!
The journey continues
Although the Winter Olympics in Korea are now over, the winter sports’ season is still going on very actively. The athletes and a big part of the sports equipment are travelling practically immediately from PyeongChang to the next competitive destination. The return freight was packed for return on Tuesday 27.2.2018, when the goods in no big hurry headed by sea back to Finland. Part of the equipment stay still in Korea for the Winter Paralympics, which are held on 9-18.3.2018.
CHS:n and with long experience in event logistics, johtaja Heikki Mattola kommentoi tyytyväisenä, että oli hienoa, että logistiikan osalta kaikki on sujunut hyvin. Hän kiittelee CHS Expo Freightin Korean yhteistyökumppania Kemi-Leetä, jonka kanssa yhteistyö toimi sujuvasti ja jonka henkilökohtainen palvelu sai kiitosta myös Suomen Olympiakomitealta.
After Korea, the Finnish athletes’ winter season continues at the Lahti Ski Festival in Salpausselkä in Finland on 2-4 March 2018, where many successful Olympic athletes participate. The Lahti Ski Festival presents eight FIS Nordic World Cup competitions in three disciplines – the Nordic combined, cross-country skiing and ski jumping.
