1) Takanashi severely declined already despite being 2 years younger than Lundby

2) Vogt won her last title in 2017, when she was as old as Lundby is now

3) Althaus is 2 years younger than Lundby

Please don't let facts disturbe you ...

 

First you say Takanashi is the greatest female ski jumper of all time and then you say about her severe decline at age 22 :lol: 

 

The facts are Lundby is an Oympic & world champion now. And judges in ski jumping are notoriously biased since like FOREVER. You've reinvented the wheel. Seyfarth got 1,5 less from the Austrian judge today just to make sure Iraschko-Stolz gets a medal :p

1) What does her age have to do with it? Let's say Simone Biles or Ledecky would retire now, would you consider them the best ever in their respective events?

2) If you don't consider Takanashi the greatest ever, then who is it in your opinion?

Nope. Biles & Ledecky are not the best their sport has ever seen.

 

Women's ski jumping is a global event for a mere decade. Takanashi's peak was the highest so far but the throne is vacated for me because she never won individual gold medal anywhere.

Just gonna be controversial and agree with our German friend here on Takanashi being the best female ski jumper ever (so far) :d 

 

That's probably gonna change quickly, although it's hard to see someone winning significantly more than her, since the sport is (like Monzanator said) still so young and so one can be sure that the quality is going to increase year by year, meaning it's less and less likely for someone to dominate.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Takanashi could end up like Daniela Bartova & Emma George, reduced into oblivion by history moving forward. Just wait until women begin to jump on the big & mammoth hills. Takanashi is like the dead-ball era in baseball or pre-Open era in tennis, or pre-shot clock in NBA.

What just happened? blink 182 wtf GIF

What do you mean? Fair conditions always favor the best athletes, no surprise that Geiger and Kobayashi are fighting for gold. :mumble:

    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
