Summer Jumping in Courcheval this weekend, both ladies & men.  Only 26 in the Woman’s but some big names.

Well, the line-up was more of a Continental Cup, but it was good to see him have consistent jumps. If he somehow manages top 10s in the winter, that would be the real success.

Polish national championships were held this weekend and claimed 1-2 in the women's competition

 

@hckošice See, who says Slovakia sucks in ski jumping?

Kira Kapustíková is the youngest sister of the 16 years old Hektor Kapustík Always wondering how their parents came to those first names, pretty uncommon in Slovakia. But I like it, Kira

Yeah, I noticed the name coincidence and her age

 

Arguably both Mesikova and Kapustikova made the correct decision to train in Polish clubs. After Karpiel and Rajda threw a tantrum and packed their bags retired our women's roster is extremely thin with almost no hope expected. Twardosz is slooowly getting back to quasi form after her injury but Przybyła looks miles off after her knee injury.

Meanwhile it looks like Alexandria Loutitt has signed a deal with Red Bull so finally some extra money for at least one Canadian ski jumper
