Phasing out normal hill from World Cup in the last 30 years tends to throw up strange results during global events. Rok Benkovic is World Champion & Lars Bystoel an Olympic Champion on normal hill despite having a total of ONE World Cup podium between them

 

At least nobody can say Kobayashi is an accidental Olympic Champion.

Nice to get a glimpse at the inner workings of your mind. The fact that you have to go back 16 years to find (in your mind) counterexamples doesn't lead to you  maybe questioning your own position ... !? To add to that:

1) A lot of rule changes have been made since then (which might be the reason why you had to go back so far)

2) Benkovic was 18 at the time he won a medal, not really surprising he didn't have a ton of world cup podiums

3) Bystoel a) won a world cup right before his olympic gold and b) fucked up his career by being a notorious drunk (so not surprising that he didn't really display great consistency)

Wind still plays a major factor despite the compensation rule and it provides unexpected results on a regular basis. You probably forgot about the Pyeongchang NH wind lottery alltogether? And no compensation could prevent wind from having the last laugh there too
