Pauli Ensio Siitonen (3 February 1938 – 20 April 2024) was a Finnish cross-country skier. He was one of the most successful long-distance cross-country skiers of the 1970s, and in 1973 became the second Finnish skier to win Vasaloppet.[1] Siitonen competed at the 1968 Olympics,[2] and won the Finlandia-hiihto in Finland and König-Ludwig-Lauf in West Germany.
Siitonen is credited with popularizing the so-called Siitonen-step (or "marathon skate"), the precursor to modern skating technique in cross-country skiing.
Siitonen died on 20 April 2024, at the age of 86.[3]
