Yep, that's Koskinen just casually knitting on the top of the slope!

 

 

If you followed the Sochi Olympics closely, you may remember Koskinen. He's
done this before.

 

Koskinen explained to Yahoo Sports back in 2014 that he brought out the
knitting kit in order to keep things light for the athletes before
competition began. Tonteri in particular thought it was funny, so the coach
brought the scarf he was working on up the mountain for the freestyle
snowboarding event.

Unfortunately for Koskinen, none of the Finnish snowboarders

e.htm> qualified for the finals of men's slopestyle.

He'll have plenty of time to resume knitting in a much warmer climate.
