Three out of three for Stoch so far in the Summer Grand Prix, although yesterday in Einsiedeln he had to share the win with Zyla

Evgeniy Klimov takes the win in Courchevel, the first ever Russian World Cup or Grand Prix victory 

[heywoodu 15,147]

Klimov wins the Summer Grand Prix, which was already known after his 4th place last weekend in Hinzenbach. Today's SGP final in Klingenthal was cancelled because of the wind, so now it's really on to the winter.

 

Good news from Severin Freund meanwhile, he got a daughter a few days ago and his injury is gone, he is training again

To be fair, Klimov is definitely good, but he's not (yet) the World Cup final classification winning kind of good

World Cup Overall: 47

Hello there!

 

I've been looking for some old (pre-2005) ski jumping events - recordings of television broadcasts of World Cup, Olympic Games etc. I've collected since few years and gathered over 100 videos that I'd love to exchange for other rare things. If anyone has such a collection too - just let me know right here or via email. I'll surely answer:)

 

Best regards!
