Konsta Saarinen takes double Winter Jumps title

The Finnish Winter Jumps Offroad Indoor Championship concluded this past weekend with the final round being held at the Model Expo Toy Fair in front of thousands of spectators. Due to the unfortunate clash with the EOS finale in Austria some of the Finnish frontrunners such as Haatanen, Salmela and Valander would be absent from the meeting. This made way for young and talented Konsta Saarinen who had a shot at both the 2WD and 4WD titles. Ultimately he would clearly dominate the weekend, taking the TQs and wins in both classes and with him the double title.
