World Junior Championships in Whistler. Normal Hill (K104):

 

Gold: Vilho Palosaari

Silver: Jonas Schuster

Bronze: Jan Habdas

 

Top three separated by only 1,6 points!

 

 

 

Canadian ski jumper finishing with 3 points

Canada had better chances in the women's event which was destined to be a two-woman race

 

Gold for Alexandria Loutitt, silver for Nika Prevc. Best of the rest was Julia Muehlbacher.

Yevhen Marusiak won the Continental Cup competition in Klingenthal today, becoming - as far as I can find - the first ever Ukrainian on any significant international podium, let alone a win!

Dziś w Hinzenbach na PŚ kobiet mógł ktoś zginąć. Urwała się 500-kilogramowa frezarka do torów. Przerażający obrazek, deptacze mieli dużo szczęścia.

Yes, there were an uproar in the media about it since the official nomination for the worlds was announced, but since it is so niche sport here, sadly the general public and media quickly lost the interest, nobody really payed attention longer than the proverbial 15 minutes, I did not hear anything about the outcome

Stefan Hula - a long-time second-tier jumper ended his career after Zakopane Continental Cup today. Probably best known for leading the 2018 Olympic NH competition after the 1st round (dropped to 5th due to wind compensation deduction in the 2nd round).

 

His first World Cup start was Bischofshofen 2005, his last Bischofshofen 2023

Great news for Ski Jumping. Hektor Kapustík did qualify for the World Cup after earning points in the Continental Cup in Zakopane. We are not going to use this quota this season, Hektor chosed rather to move it to the next season and want jump in Wisla or Zakopane

 

Last ski Jumper in WC was Tomáš Zmoray 12 years ago !
