“I feel privileged to be returning to the Olympic Committee's elite sports unit to influence the structures and contents of Finnish elite sports. My goal is to create more cooperation within the elite sports network and to develop coaching expertise and sports management in Finland. The timing of this start of work is optimal, because the collaboration of a wide network is just now starting to building a new strategy for sports”, Rautakorpi commented in the press release.
