And that's it for international ski jumping from Zhangjiakou, I guess. Or ski jumping in general, I doubt we'll ever hear anything again from especially these Chinese guys...  

 

I hope I'm wrong, obviously, but this seems like a typical sport where they'll disappear back into nowhere.

Actually there is an idea we can have an Asian swing in November & December (followed by Nizhny Tagil) since the early rounds are usually tough to go around due to lack of snow & frost in Europe. I'm unsure Sapporo would like to ditch the mid-January date though. Various vanues have been used for the early November slot and Kuopio/Kuusamo has been ravaged by wind several times, Wisla basically needs artificial snow and it costs a ton (they would like to be a Zakopane double-header in January) while Klingenthal has filled in as the minor German venue since Four Hills is fixed and Willingen is the otherwise popular German round. There is also Titisee-Neustadt & Oberstdorf ski flying to rotate on the calendar.

Peter Prevc really "loves" valentines day. 2015 he won in Vikersund with a WR. 2016 he won again this time with a fall no less. And now he won a silver medal. Source :

Jan Hoerl (second from right ) probably lost some bet?

Incredible piece of trivia: the only sport where every Canadian athlete competing in Beijing 2022 won a medal is… ski jumping. And it's also the only country who's ski jumpers all won a medal. As we all predicted.

This is much more ridiculous than  winning three medals in Tokyo.

tbh,  medals were not out of order...actually, Perilli's medal was highly expected...
