USA coach Sneli on Aigro: he has the talent to compete with the world's best

US ski jumping team head coach Tore Sneli believes Estonian top ski jumper Artti Aigro already belongs among the world's elite. The coach sees in the 26-year-old Estonian both the talent and work ethic needed to compete with the world's best.

US ski jumping team head coach Tore Sneli has expressed great confidence in the abilities of Estonian ski jumper Artti Aigro. The coach of Norwegian origin believes that the 26-year-old Estonian is already close to the world's elite and possesses all the necessary prerequisites to reach the highest positions.

According to Sneli, Aigro has two main qualities that distinguish top athletes from others — natural talent and strong work ethic. The coach emphasised that the interplay of these two factors provides reason to believe that the Estonian can keep pace with those striving for places in the top three at future international championship competitions.

In recent seasons, Aigro has established himself as Estonia's absolute number one in ski jumping and has delivered excellent results in the World Cup series. The new cooperation with the US team's head coach provides an opportunity to receive training at international top level, which could give his development a significant boost.

Estonian ski jumping has undergone remarkable development in recent decades, and Aigro's contribution has been very important. If his cooperation with Sneli yields the expected results, Estonian fans may have reason to hope for even higher achievements in the coming season.
