And on a sidenote, a drunk Harri Olli is just Harri Olli :p 

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!

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.

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

 

The other 6:

 

:AUT Heinz Kuttin (1991 NH)

:NOR Espen Bredesen (1993 LH)

:JPN Takanobu Okabe (1995 NH)

:NOR Tommy Ingebrigtsen (1995 LH)

:SLO Rok Benkovic (2005 NH)

:NOR 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 :d 

 

"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!" :d 

Incredible story! :yes

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 :p, 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 :lol:

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

    • 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)
