Ski Jumping FIS World Cup 2020 - 2021

[Grassmarket 3,625]

Lord, this is just awful watching at the moment.  
 

Every single snow-blower in Germany is mobilised for Eisinbichler’s jump.  
 

Going to be some big names eliminated early tomorrow....

Murańka had done today two tests and both of them were negative 

 

In last days he had done 5 tests and just one of them was positive, probably this one was false test...

Our federation submit appelation to allow our jumpers to compete in tomorrow event, despite they didn't compete in qualifications. If FIS will not agree with this then they will "fight" to held qualifications again tomorrow before main event.

All-Polish death match jump off: Only the winner gets to compete.

We have here 7 jumpers, so, if jump-off would be held someone would have stay in hotel or would get automatically Q to the main competition

For what it's worth, two Finns in Top 13 is quite something.

That situation sucks. But I fear an appeal would be useless - the local health authorities in Oberstdorf send the Polish team into quarantine, not the FIS. Of course, the FIS cannot overrule the decisions of local authorities. It is unlikely that quarantine order is abolished so quickly. Hopefully, they are at least allowed to participate in G-P (maybe except Muranka).

I think the most fair solution would be the following:

 

Winners of the 25 matches advance to 2nd jump

Polish jumpers also jump immediately after the 25th match. If any of the Polish jumpers are in the top 5 unqualified, then they can advance to the 2nd jump.

[Monzanator 4,611]

It's Germany. The locals will do us no favors. It's the ancient old issue. Besides FIS has a genuine excuse for sitting on their hands.
