Ski jumping boss Walter Hofer: "We have to inform you that the World Cup season 19/20 is over."

 

Not entirely clear if he means the men only (of which he is the race director) or the women as well. Kind of sad for Hofer, that means this is his goodbye after decades as the guy :(

Everyone was tired of Walter Hofer many moons ago. Good riddance.

And down goes cycling even more, after the Italian races were already cancelled for now.

 

Nokere Koerse
Volta ao Alentejo
Bredene Koksijde Classic
Driedaagse Brugge de Panne (which is a one day event and not a three day event, as the name suggests, but fine)
E3 BinckBank Classic
Gent-Wevelgem :(

Out of curiousity amongst all this: is there anyone with any sort of position in the world of sports you like? :p 

 

Obviously Pays Bas doesn't follow ski jumping much. It's different in Poland. Walter Hofer and his sidekick Miran Tepes were riding on the fans' nerves for years due to their dubious decisions of allowing jumpers to compete in strange weather conditions. Tepes stepped from his post two years ago and Hofer was long overdue to get the hell out as well. Sandro Pertile will be the new FIS ski jumping director from next season.

I am aware of that, and of the whole general thing about ski jumping, posting on a specific ski jumping forum (international, definitely not Dutch) helps in that regard. Doesn't answer my question though (based on pretty much a never-ending stream of negative posts about almost literally everyone and everything that's not from 15+ years ago :p ) but fine, we can leave it at that.

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
