Based on today's result Germany would win the team competition in front of Austria and Norway . I think Germany wins tomorrow with Austria , Poland and Norway fighting over the rest . 

 

 

Poland will field Stefan Hula instead of Wolny. Given Zyla's struggles today I'll be shocked if we get onto the podium. Sounds like 1.Germany, 2.Norway, 3.Austria IMO.

Markus Eisenbichler is the 7th individual World Champion who hasn't won a single World Cup event before winning the WC gold.

 

The other 6:

 

Heinz Kuttin (1991 NH)

Espen Bredesen (1993 LH)

Takanobu Okabe (1995 NH)

Tommy Ingebrigtsen (1995 LH)

Rok Benkovic (2005 NH)

Rune Velta (2015 NH)

 

Ingebrigtsen, Benkovic & Velta never won a World Cup event and Benkovic didn't even finish on the podium once.

I hope and think Eisenbichler takes a WC victory soon. 

I remember Velta retired one year after the gold medal.

And Ammann's comment  

 

"I just realized he started jumping because of me when he was young, and I felt a bit guilty when he didn't really make that next step...and now he does this!"  

Incredible story! 

Simon was such an important factor not only for him but for almost every jumper in the circuit. They all must have watched him winning gold in 2002,and now they are competing against him. One of the last Mohicans... Even though i prefered Malycz over him,i will be very sad when he retires.

I remember his triumphs in Salt Lake even if I was quite younger , but I always loved this sport, then I remember very well his triumphs in Vancouver...but still if you will say me the name Ammann nowadays, the first thing that will come to my mind is seeing him literally freezing around midnight in PyeongChang´s Normal Hill hoping to finally get the green for his second round jump

Same here! And to think Ammann is like a rookie compared to also still active Kasai

Eisenbichler , Kubacki and Peier best in today's training. Looks like Eisenbichler and Peier are still in good shape .
