What are your thoughts on the last winter? What do you think about the season, are you satisfied with your results?
Otto: I think last season was great for me. I got my first COC points and compete in JWSC for the first time.
Are there any things you need to change for the next season concerning jumping or mental strength?
Otto: I think we have to get jumping to good level and that means you have to keep your focus on it.
How are you preparing for the upcoming season?
Otto: Just little bit more training overall.
What are your goals for next season and your future in this sport in general?
Otto: Get some good ranks on COC and of course home JWSC is a big thing.
What was the best achievement of your career so far and what the biggest disappointment?
Otto: I think at least for last season JWSC was the best. Also my jumps in Ruka COC were great but skiing was bit off there. I don't think I have had really big disappointments, at least not yet.
Next season the Mass Start will return to World Cup - what do you think about it?
Otto: In my opinion Mass Start was really fun when I got to try it on Ruka COC. So I think it will fit well in World Cup too.

These were your first Junior World Championships. What did you expect of the individual competitions and what do you think about your results?
My first goal was to get to JWSC so I just tried to do my own thing and not think about results. I am little bit disappointed of my jumps but overall I am happy.
The team competiton was quite tricky for the Finns. What happened, did the fresh snow affect your and the other boys' performance on the hill and track?
I think weather wasn't the problem. I think problem was in our heads.
How are you going to spend the rest of the season and what are your goals?
I haven't tought about it yet but I think doing best I can is enough.
Next year the JWSC will take place in Vuokatti – what would you like to achieve there?
My main goal was Kandersteg so I think I will focus on getting some good races here in Finland and in COC.
Did you change something in preparation for this season compared to season before?
Well last years I have lived at my home but now I moved to Vuokatti. I think that is biggest difference.
Are there any things you need to change for the next season concerning jumping, skiing or mental strength?
I would like to ski better but at the same time I don't want to lose my good jumping.
