About Rosa Pohjolainen
Finnish World Cup alpine ski racer, born 20 July 2003; races for Hyvinkaan Slalomseura Sukkula (the club name notwithstanding, her recent competitive focus is downhill and super-G rather than slalom - see mismatch note below). Younger sibling of fellow Finnish World Cup skier Jesper Pohjolainen, already in this database (id140), per her own Ski Sport Finland athlete profile, which names him as her favourite athlete. Competed in the downhill at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics, finishing 28th, and took a 2nd place in a Europa Cup downhill at Orcieres-Merlette in January 2026 - both speed-discipline results.
FIS Code 185493; FIS competitorid 238053; club Hyvinkaan Slalomseura Sukkula ('Sukkula Slalom Club', a club name, not a current discipline indicator). Her own Ski Sport Finland profile lists her full discipline range as Downhill, Super-G, Giant Slalom & Slalom - listed in that order. Treated as a speed-discipline specialist who also races slalom, not primarily a slalom skier. Sister of Jesper Pohjolainen (id140, already in this database).
Sponsors: Atomic (skis, bindings, boots, helmets, goggles) and Leki (poles), with Auclair (gloves) - per her official Ski Sport Finland (Finnish federation) athlete page (skisport.fi/en/athletes/rosa-pohjolainen/), which lists a complete equipment breakdown. This matches FIS's official athlete biography (manufacturer-updated field), which independently confirms 'Skis: Atomic, Boots: Atomic.'
