Antti Raatikainen (born September 29, 1990 ) is a Finnish biathlete and cross-country skier .

Antti Raatikainen starts for Iisalmen Visa . In cross-country skiing he has been competing in lower-class international races such as the Scandinavian Cup or FIS races and national championships since 2010 , without achieving outstanding results so far. He made his international debut in biathlon at the 2009 Junior Biathlon World Championships in Canmore , where he was 42nd in the sprint, 30th in the pursuit and fifth in the relay. In the individual, he only had to admit defeat to Ludwig Ehrhart and became vice world champion. A year later in Torsby he was 22nd of the individual, 75th of the sprint and 11th in the season. In 2011 Raatikainen competed in the junior races of the Biathlon European Championships in Ridnaun , where he was lapped 43rd in the individual, 59th in the sprint and in the pursuit. It was actually also intended for the Finnish men's relay, which, however, did not start at short notice.

At the start of the 2011/12 season , Raatikainen contested his first men's race in the IBU Cup in Otepää and finished 57th in an individual. The best result so far is a 43rd place in a pursuit race in Ostrow in 2013 . The 2014 European Biathlon Championships in Nové Město na Moravě were the first international championship in the performance area . The Finn was used in all four races. In the sprint he ran to 57th place, was lapped in the pursuit race based on it and was eliminated and came in 38th in the individual. With Sami Orpana , Tuomas Grönman and Olli Jaakkola he was 17th as the starting runner in the relay race.
