A power outage struck during the start of the Venla relay race, a significant Finnish sporting event, causing interruptions to Yle’s television broadcast. The outage occurred immediately as the race began, plunging viewers into darkness. While Yle managed to restore the broadcast, the transmission subsequently failed again, indicating a continuing technical issue. The nature and extent of the power disruption remain unclear. Organizers and Yle technicians are working to resolve the problem and maintain coverage of the Jukola relay race, which follows the Venla event. The repeated interruptions impacted the viewing experience for audiences across Finland. Further updates are expected as the situation develops.
