Lathi 2001

In the fall of 2022 I auditioned for one of the main characters in a finnish drama with the working title Dirty Snow, it follows two sports journalists who discover the doping scandal involving the Finnish team during the World Championships in Lathi 2001 (which later became the title of the Tv series). I got the part as Therese Jensen opposite Mikko Leppilampi as Eero Järvinen, we played two sports journalists who also have an ongoing love affair whenever on duty at championships around the world, and also the only fictional characters in the series. The other characters where skiers, coaches and doping hunters from the real life scandal. A scandal that still wasn’t completely cold in Finland, ski coaches were told to not coach the actors who were going to play professional skiers and the production got several calls from prominent people from the world of professional skiing telling them it was not a good idea to make the series. It premiered November 2nd 2023.
