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

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
    • Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.
    • Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig            
    • Skeleton Tour moves on to Yanqing  this weekend.  Asian Cup races tomorrow, then the World Cup on Saturday, and then possibly more Asian Cup next weekend before everyone moves over to Altenberg for the start of the full Skeleton / Bobsleigh tour again. 
    • 2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.
    • But he beat Mouat, who seems to be almost unbeatable 
    • Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.
    • Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
