# Enni Mälkönen

Enni Mälkönen (born 25 September 1990) is a Finnish rally co-driver. She won the World Rally Championship-3 co-drivers' championship in 2022, and the World Rally Championship-2 co-drivers' championship in 2024.

## Career

Mälkönen previously competed in show jumping, but decided to take up rallying after her horse was injured. Her father was also a rally driver. Mälkönen made her rally debut in 2012.
Mälkönen won the WRC3 co-drivers' championship in 2022, making her the first woman to win the championship in any WRC class. The two top drivers in the class (Lauri Joona and Jan Černý) changed co-drivers during the season, while Mälkönen continued as Sami Pajari's co-driver throughout the season.
In 2024, Mälkönen and Pajari won the WRC2 championship, where she became the second woman to win the co-drivers' championship in the category, after Reeta Hämäläinen in 2022. Following their win, Pajari announced that the duo would no longer be driving together, as he was moving up to the premier WRC class. Mälkönen was later announced to be co-driving for Esapekka Lappi in the 2025 Finnish Rally Championship.
