Large Hill - Val di fiemme

What a competition! and what a second round! Today, polish Kamil Stoch was the best and grabbed the gold medal. Peter Prevc from Slovenia ended on second place and shows that he is in a good shape now with being in the podium in both of the individual cometitions in the world championchip. Anders Jacobsen came on third place and got the bronze medal. he in much more comfortable in the big hill and are doing his things better there.              Congratulations to them all three!

Thomas Morgenstern fell in the firs round but after the fall limit. He got a bad start point in the second round with 22nd place. Gregor Schlirenzauer went down on the speed, as usual. but this time the conditions where not good enough so he had a bad start point in the second round too, with 16th place.

Mixed cometition!

Now we are done with the first mixed competition in a world championchip ever! the girls are improving and some of them are jumping longer than the boys today! congrats! Japan are in a very good shape now and especially Sara Takanashi, she had the longest jump today. solid jumping from them. Austria on second place with Morgenstern back on track and Gregor Schlierenzauer always doing what his suppose to do. The girls had quite good jumps today too.

the bronze medal went to Germany! In mixed it's not enough having good boys. you need good girls too.  Norway got the bitter fourth place this time. they said that it was not that they were jumping bad but the other nations where just too good today. yesterday's world champion was of course on the team together with Tom Hilde, Maren Lundby and Anette Sagen.

now the girls are done with there world championchip but the boys have two competitions left. one individual - big hill and one Team competition in the big hill.

Val di fiemme

What a first day in a world championship!  And what a beautiful day to be a norwegian!  Last time a norwegian was the world champion in small hill was in 1966. And now Anders Bardal is the champion! This is amazing!  Gregor Schlierenzauer was behind with just a couple of points and peter prevec took the third place.   

Kamil Stoch was on second place after the first round but because bad out driving and telemark he fell down to 8th place. Thomas Morgenstern havent jumped for quite a time now and did a good "comback" and ended on a 5th place. 

Congratulations to all the athletes and to all of you readers; watch the mixed competition tomorrow! 

Team tour

I haven't written anything for weeks! sorry! But now i'm going to say something about this years team tour.

Slovenia won the first competition in Willingen and got a good management. but the individual competition there had to be canceled because of strong wind and bad weather.
Next competition was in Klingenthal. the young slovenian Jaka Hvala showed that he is a man that know how to do things. a bit suprising but he has show for a very long time now what he is capable of.
After Klingenthal, Oberstdorf was last stop. Overall Slovenia was leading with about 40 points. after only two jumps Norway had taken into the management. and when the competition was over Team Norway was leading the team tour with 11.2 points and since that was the last in this years tour, they won!

                                  NORWAY IS THE WINNER!!!!!!!

Stay tuned and i promise i will write more!
