2026 World Championship — 14th
Akseli Keskinen (born 21 July 1999) is a Finnish Nacra 17 sailor and Olympian, having competed at the Tokyo 2020 Games.
Now sailing with Katariina Roihu, he leads Finland's campaign in the foiling catamaran, the pair showing their competitive edge at the 2026 World Championship in Quiberon, including a breakthrough race win under pressure.
Keskinen and Roihu are building toward the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
Katariina Roihu crews for Olympian Akseli Keskinen in Finland's Nacra 17, a partnership pushing up the international fleet.
The duo battled through the 2026 World Championship in Quiberon, holding their nerve to take their first win of the regatta on the final day under pressure from a fast Italian crew.
Roihu and Keskinen are among Finland's hopes for the foiling catamaran as the LA 2028 cycle unfolds.
