Ski Jumping at the Nordic Skiing FIS World Championships 2023

[Monzanator 4,602]

@NearPup Yes, Polish coach Kazimierz Bafia is involved in training Canadian kids & teenagers for decades now, he has coached basically every Canadian ski jumper at some point due to lack of domestic resources and one might argue without him there would be zero Canadian ski jumpers even at FIS Cup level right now. Ski jumping is like track cycling, you have to have facilities to be any good and live nearby them as well. Or move into another country like Canadians do living in Slovenia...

By God Watson, Canada can fly!   First ever medal at WC, men or women. Imagine, that random Olympic medal being the turning point for these and upcoming successes.

Men's side is a little random since only Boyd-Clowes keeps soldiering on a reasonable level but there's nothing random about Loutitt and Strate. And they had Taylor Heinrich before who sadly was totally on her own in the early 2010s and I believe she had to find a real-time job sooner rather than later.

Another disaster for the home nation Nika Prevc finished dead last but I reckon she was affected after her brother's fall earlier...

Canada struggled without a velodrome till 2015 and then bam medals in 2016 and 2020. Hoping somehow facilities are built and maintained for younger Canadians to take up the sport.

We are allowed to celebrate this gold as ours, considering that Canadians have their home base in Slovenia, they live in Slovenia, they jump on Slatnar skis and their coach is Slovenian.

Ya I think that’s fair.

No way!!!!  I was hoping that one of our girls could bring home a medal here but I never expected this. This is incredible! Really hope this helps bring in some more funding

Yes, another dissapointment, Klinec and Križnar could end up mich higher with better first jump, Vtič as expected.

 

Nika Prevc jumped very bad both days, so she was not last because of brother's fall.
