But still we had also finalists from Turkey, Finland, USA, almost even Estonia, Bulgaria, Romania, so not so bad.

just looking at the final results...

 

all 21 starters from the 5 top Countries () ended up in the top 23 positions of the final ranking...

 

and the top 8 jumpers are from only 3 Countries:  

 

the only 2 "intruders" are  Marusiak (17th) and  Deschwanden (19th)...

 

not exactly a sign of depth at the top of this game, I guess...

Personally i find it very surprising that the best ukrainian athlete finished higher than any athlete from Japan/Finland/Italy/France/USA. Not surprising that a sport that requires very expansive infrastructure has less competition. Obviously winter sports in general has less competition than summer sports. Still you also have summer sports with not much variety, for example slalom canoeing.

Pretty much the expected order. I think Norway, Germany, Slovenia and Austria all have the Potential to win. Japan winning a medal would be a bit surprising to me. Slovenia being closer to Japan than to Germany is surprising to me. On the other hand Germany and Austria are the only nations with no „weak gender“, Slovenia/Norway/Japan all have a bit of a problem on the men‘s side currently. Poland is missing World-class women and Canada is missing World-class men, a combined Team of those two nations could win gold.

6th in women’s team normal hill for  Pretty good result for us.  Although I half expected us to finish around that number, considering I was pretty sure we would beat all (If not most) of France/China/United States/Poland.

It will be amazing, if they pull out one round.

[justony 444]

And this is sad image from our stands, due to unbelievable expensive Worlds for our standards.

15 teams promises an interesting race. Especially the fight for the final round 8. For the Czech team it would be a success with the current performances... Though if there'll be a second round today.

Sign of life from Harry Potter Not good news for team-Česko though

[BlueWhiteJerry 20]

So, we won't make the second round... Even the commentators are depressed about our current prospects in ski jumping
