Niko Anttola

Niko Anttola (born 13 February 2003) is a Finnish cross-country skier.

He hails from Tornio and is coached by his father, Marko Anttola.

[1] At the 2021 Junior World Championships he won a silver medal in the 4 × 5 kilometre relay, followed by a silver medal in the 10 kilometre race at the 2022 Junior World Championships.

He broke into the top 20 for the first time in March 2024 in Lahti, finishing 19th in the 20 kilometres.

[2] He was described by YLE as a wildcard for the relay team; when the World Cup season started in late 2022, "Those who envisioned Niko Anttola as the anchor in the World Championships relay can barely be regarded as sane".
