At Squaw Valley, she did not from part of the relay squad, as she was only the fourth best skier in the world, behind three other soviets.

The first outstanding Finnish runner, he set a world record of 14.36.6 in
winning the 5000 metres at Stockholm, which was only beaten ten years later
by Paavo Nurmi. He won 5 races in a few days
but Finland failed to qualify for the team 3000 m final, or he would undoubtedly
have won that one too. On the victory podium, he said, 'I would almost rather
not have won, than see that flag up there', pointing at the tsarist Russian
flag. Finland was still part of Russia at the time.
After the war, he returned to Antwerpen to win the Marathon. He is one of
those athletes who were severely restricted in their medal chances because
of the Wars.
