I wonder who will skip the Olympics in order to attend :p

 

.

It will be few days after the last ski jumping event at the Olympics. Nothing to worry. Only some sponsors won't be happy and the B team that will go to the Continental Cup.

We had the first Grand Prix competitions this weekend in :FRA Courchevel, including the new High Five format on Sunday. High Five is a competition where ski jumpers are divided into groups of five using the serpentine system based on the quali or previous competition results - two best of each group and 4 or 5 lucky losers (women and men respectively) move forward to the second round. For the final classification, only the score in the second round counts. It's quite rough around the edges, not easy to follow in the TV broadcast, and will be tested once again next week in :POL Wisła.  :SLO Nika Prevc won on Saturday while :CAN Abigail Strate did so on Sunday, likewise :NOR Marius Lindvik and :AUT Niklas Bachlinger.

I think :SVK Slovakia had one of the best weekends ever. Hektor Kapustik was P28 and P17 :yikes:, while his younger sister Kira Maria P28 was and P27. And don't forget about Tamara Mesikova with P22 and P23. Slovakia is very close to having at least one ski jumper in each gender at the Olympics.  @hckošice

:SWE Frida Westman had a solid proper return to scoring points with P15 and P16.

To finish the update, on the men's side :KOR lost its sole provisional quota for now thanks to :GER Raimund claiming the yellow bib by coming second twice.

Norwegian jumpers & team charged over the suits issue from the end of last season.

Oh God, a group stage format in a skiing event :lol: Everyone seemingly wants to have a group stage nowadays. 

 

That being said, i've been advocating to have more variety in competitions for some time. Though i said they should use the knockout system more often and not only at the Four Hills. If there is life in this group stuff, you can add it to a couple of starts in the season. Guess they are looking to make the first round more "important and exciting" in that you would have direct battles every 5 jumpers with stakes and not just wait 45 until the best arrive.

Lara Malsiner out of all Olimpics season:( I'm afraid this might be the end of her career :(

a quick look at the impact of the first summer grand prix on the olympic tables; I think in women's :SVK +1 and :SWE +1, :USA and :CZE both -1. In men's :GER +1, :KAZ -1 with :SVK and :TUR keeping the same quotas but swapping D.1 and D.2 allocations with each other.  

 

There are a lot of moving parts so I could have easily missed something though.

It's like Nordic Combined.  Every few years they go on this kick wherein they introduce all sorts of new kinds of race formats, but once the Olympics come round it is back to the good old Gundersen again.

According to my calculations, in men's :GER +1, :SVK moved up do D.1, 2nd ski jumper for :TUR and :UKR demoted to D.2, :KOR -1.

    • Russian athletes pretty much involved in propaganda with Z symbols and Georgian ribbons, they support war financially, yet either you are blind or you are washed up
    • And I am for your ban here, you are as dumb as newborn baby, except you are much older and you can't even write properly, so go to school at first, learn something and then came back
    • @bestmen Look, I've been reading your comments regarding Russia for quite some time, and I don't want to bite my tongue this time.   First, context matters. I agree with @copravolley. It’s not an insult to say that people who don’t live near Russia often underestimate what this war actually means for Europe. Out of the three of us, I can say with certainty that I feel the most directly affected by and concerned about this war.   In the same way I wouldn’t share my opinions on Africans and the conflicts on their continent, or lecture Palestinians about the war in Gaza, it’s reasonable to listen first when Europeans explain why this is not just a political disagreement that happens to block Russian athletes from competing, but an ongoing war of aggression that doesn’t only affect Ukraine, but also countless other countries located nearby with a long and dramatic history of communism and Russian influence. To make it clear, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. However, you have repeatedly pushed the same narrative about the supposed injustice towards Russian competitors.   Second of all, the claim that Russian athletes have nothing to do with politics is blatantly wrong. It's a lie, and you know it. Countless Russians are actively supporting the crimes that Russia is committing on Ukrainian soil, advocating for further military operations, and show little to no remorse. Many Russians supported Putin throughout his presidential campaigns and continued doing so even after the invasion. Just look at their public statements made over the past three years. They are expected to align with the state’s narrative. That’s not an individual moral judgment, it’s how the system works.   Major Russian sports clubs are directly linked to or derived from the military. Hockey players wear war symbols and slogans on their jerseys, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Russian sports and politics are two sides of the same coin, closely related ever since the state began pouring money into centralised doping programs and sporting propaganda. Bringing up Netanyahu or Israeli doping is pretty much just whataboutism. If there is proven, systematic wrongdoing in sport, it should be addressed through proper investigations and sanctions. That does not magically erase or excuse Russia’s actions, nor does it justify pretending this war doesn’t exist when it becomes inconvenient.
