Ice hockey world championship victory. Wood products. Gap year. Tuesday’s weather.
On Monday, there was no TV broadcast of Selanoutuistin because Yle had a special broadcast of Finland’s World Cup victory on TV1. However, you can watch Monday’s Selanoutuistin here and on Yle Areena. (The video does not have subtitles due to technical reasons, but you can read the texts below.)
Ice Hockey World Championship victory
First, sports news.
Finland is the world champion in ice hockey.
The Finnish men’s national ice hockey team defeated Switzerland 1-0 in the final game.
The game was only decided in overtime, when it was 3 players against 3 players.
Finland’s goal was scored by Konsta Helenius.
Helenius is happy that the goal was successful.
“Well, it’s a great feeling. That’s why we came here, that we wanted to win, and then when there was a chance to draw in overtime, I put the “kudi” in and now I’m in. It was pretty nice.”
Another hero was Finnish goalkeeper Justus Annunen, who saved all of Switzerland’s shots.
Finland is now the world ice hockey champion for the fifth time.
Thousands of people gathered in the center of Helsinki at night to celebrate.
Origin of wood products
Now news about wood products in stores.
The origin of wood products in stores is often unclear.
This is according to a Yle study. The study tested seven different products.
In almost all products, the information on the origin of the wood was incorrect or missing.
For example, the wood of the stool in the Veke store was from Russia, but the store did not tell its customers.
The oak board at the Stark store came from the USA, even though the store stated that the wood came from Europe.
The origin of wood products in stores is often unclear.
A new EU law will enter into force at the end of the year.
It requires companies to disclose the exact location where the wood was harvested.
The purpose is to prevent illegal logging.
Gap year
Finally, some news about the graduates.
Saturday marked the end of school.
Approximately 26,500 new high school graduates graduated.
Many new university graduates will take a gap year, meaning they will not continue their studies this year.
The popularity of the gap year has grown.
More than 20 percent of high school students take a gap year.
A gap year can also occur if you do not get the study place you applied for.
The popularity of the gap year has grown.
Many young people use their gap year to prepare for entrance exams.
Cansu Özoglu from Siilinjärvi will also do this if she doesn’t get a study place this year.
“I’m trying to find a job and then probably practice for those entrance exams. And if I have to retake them in the spring, I’ll practice for them.”
Tuesday weather
Still a weather forecast.
The weather will be changeable on Tuesday.
It will rain and thunder may occur in the central part of the country.
In Lapland and the south, it is dry, meaning it does not rain.
The temperature is a little over 20 degrees at its highest.
