Iivo Niskanen started the 2019–20 season with his third 15 km classic World Cup win in [[Rukatunturi|Ruka]] and a third place in the overall [[2019 Nordic Opening]].
Iivo Niskanen started the 2019–20 season with his third 15&nbsp;km classic World Cup win in [[Rukatunturi|Ruka]] and third place in the overall [[2019 Nordic Opening]]. He reached the podium four more times during the season, including his first 15&nbsp;km freestyle podium.

The 2020–21 season was something of a disappointment for Niskanen, who was left without any podium placements. In the WCH in Oberstdorf, he was in his season's best form, skiing a very strong 2nd leg in the relay and placing 6th in the 50&nbsp;km classic, which he had won in the Winter Olympics three years earlier. However, missing out on a medal and a waxing failure in the 50-kilometre race enraged the ambitious skier.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://yle.fi/urheilu/3-11825286 |title="Minulla tökki pito" – Iivo Niskanen paiskoi sukset maalissa MM-pettymyksen jälkeen, katso kuinka Niskanen antoi kovasanaista palautetta huollolle kesken kisan |date=7 March 2021 |website=Yle.fi |access-date=1 March 2022}}</ref>

In the 2021–22 season, Niskanen returned in stronger form and became the first Finnish male skier to reach the podium at the overall [[Tour de Ski]], when he placed third. During the World Cup season, he took three wins and a second place, all in 15&nbsp;km classical. By placing fourth in the 50&nbsp;km race in Holmenkollen in the absence of his closest rivals [[Alexander Bolshunov]] and [[Johannes Høsflot Klæbo]], he secured himself the Distance discipline globe already before the World Cup finals in Falun. Niskanen is the first Finnish male skier to win the Distance World Cup.


The [[2022 Winter Olympics]] in Beijing were a triumph for Niskanen, who won his third Olympic gold with a dominant performance in the 15&nbsp;km classical and claimed a somewhat unexpected bronze medal in the 30&nbsp;km skiathlon. Alongside these individual medals, Niskanen won silver in the classical team sprint with [[Joni Mäki]], thus winning three medals total in Beijing. Niskanen has medaled in all three Olympics he has participated in. He is the fourth Finn to win three Olympic gold medals in cross-country skiing, the first to do so since [[Marja-Liisa Kirvesniemi]]'s triple gold in Sarajevo 1984.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.hs.fi/urheilu/art-2000008605370.html |title=Hiihto &#124; Iivo Niskanen järjesti yhden miehen näytöksen – kolmas kulta kolmansissa kisoissa peräkkäin |date=11 February 2022 |website=Hs.fi |access-date=1 March 2022}}</ref> He is also one of four Finnish athletes who have won gold in three different Olympics, summer or winter, after [[Paavo Nurmi]], [[Veikko Hakulinen]] and [[Pertti Karppinen]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://yle.fi/urheilu/3-12312983 |title=Olympiakultaa!

In the 2021/22 season, Niskanen became the first Finnish male skier to reach the top three at the overall Tour de Ski, when he placed third. The [[2022 Winter Olympics]] in Beijing were a triumph for Niskanen, who won his third Olympic gold with a dominant performance in the 15 km classical and a surprise bronze medal in the 30 km skiathlon. Niskanen has won a gold medal in all three Olympics he has participated in. During the ongoing World Cup season, he has managed two wins and a second place, all in 15 km classical.

Iivo Henrik Niskanen (born 12 January 1992) is a Finnish cross-country skier who has competed in the FIS Cross-Country World Cup since 2011. He is a three-time Olympic champion.

Career

[edit]

Iivo Niskanen made his individual World Cup debut on 12 March 2011, when he finished 69th in a 20 km skiathlon in Lahti, Finland. He had his breakthrough at the international level when he won the 15-kilometre classic race at the 2014 under-23 World Championships in Val di Fiemme on 30 January 2014. He won the race with a 17.4 seconds margin to Russia's Sergey Ustiugov.[1] Only three days after winning that gold medal, he finished 8th in a 15 km classic World Cup race in Toblach, Italy.

He won the gold medal in men's team sprint at the 2014 Winter Olympics with Sami Jauhojärvi.[2] Following the pair's achievement, Niskanen and Jauhojärvi shared the Finnish Sports Personality of the Year award in 2014. Niskanen finished 4th on the prestigious 50 km race in Holmenkollen on 8 March 2014.

In the following 2014–15 season, Niskanen won his first World Cup victory on 30 November 2014 by winning a 15 km classic race on home soil in Ruka, Finland.

At the 2017 World Championships in Lahti, Niskanen won a bronze medal in the team sprint together with teammate Jauhojärvi. Niskanen led the race into its final stages, but a crash with Norway's Emil Iversen saw Russian and Italian skiers surpass them. On 1 March, he became the world champion on the 15 km classic event, winning the gold medal 17.9 seconds ahead of Norway's Martin Johnsrud Sundby.[3] He won his second Finnish Sports Personality of the Year in 2017.

In the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Niskanen became individual Olympic champion in the men's 50 kilometre classical.[4][5] In January 2019, Niskanen was awarded his third Finnish Sports Personality of the Year for the year 2018,[6] the first since Marjo Matikainen in 1987 to win the award two consecutive years; the first male since Kaarlo Kangasniemi in 1969.

At the 2019 World Championships in Seefeld in Tirol, Austria, Niskanen won a bronze medal in the 15 km classic event. This turned out to be his only medal at the championships as he finished fourth in both the skiathlon and the relay.

Iivo Niskanen started the 2019–20 season with his third 15 km classic World Cup win in Ruka and third place in the overall 2019 Nordic Opening. He reached the podium four more times during the season, including his first 15 km freestyle podium.

The 2020–21 season was something of a disappointment for Niskanen, who was left without any podium placements. In the WCH in Oberstdorf, he was in his season's best form, skiing a very strong 2nd leg in the relay and placing 6th in the 50 km classic, which he had won in the Winter Olympics three years earlier. However, missing out on a medal and a waxing failure in the 50-kilometre race enraged the ambitious skier.[7]

In the 2021–22 season, Niskanen returned in stronger form and became the first Finnish male skier to reach the podium at the overall Tour de Ski, when he placed third. During the World Cup season, he took three wins and a second place, all in 15 km classical. By placing fourth in the 50 km race in Holmenkollen in the absence of his closest rivals Alexander Bolshunov and Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, he secured himself the Distance discipline globe already before the World Cup finals in Falun. Niskanen is the first Finnish male skier to win the Distance World Cup.

The 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing were a triumph for Niskanen, who won his third Olympic gold with a dominant performance in the 15 km classical and claimed a somewhat unexpected bronze medal in the 30 km skiathlon. Alongside these individual medals, Niskanen won silver in the classical team sprint with Joni Mäki, thus winning three medals total in Beijing. Niskanen has medaled in all three Olympics he has participated in. He is the fourth Finn to win three Olympic gold medals in cross-country skiing, the first to do so since Marja-Liisa Kirvesniemi's triple gold in Sarajevo 1984.[8] He is also one of four Finnish athletes who have won gold in three different Olympics, summer or winter, after Paavo Nurmi, Veikko Hakulinen and Pertti Karppinen.[9]
