Dunadan 1,103 Posted October 31, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 31, 2017 The season is already over for Samuel Costa. He announced that Quote My Olympic dream has to wait 4 more years. Together with Doc. Arnold Gurndin we decide to fix my knee properly and that means some months of rest. Few days ago I did the last operation at the Dolomiti Sportclinic to fix my lateral ligament.

Yes, and Brignone's situation is not that clear...there are rumors about her problem being chronical (she suffers from groin inflammation and some newspapers wrote that it's given by a bone edema, which is not possible to be fixed if not with a very long pause...and of course this would mean at least a full season off, which she won't take in this particular year obviously)... by the way, also Fabio Francolini (Speedskating) has a lot of troubles right now (he's fighting against a stomach virus) and will probably miss the first part of the World Cup season... definitely our Olympic campaign has not started under the most brilliant star... but I hope that we can still find the way to cancel the awful rememberings of Sochi (when we didn't win a single Gold medal)...

heywoodu 13,570 Posted January 30, 2018 #19 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Out of curiousity: in the normal hill vs large hill competition, does anyone really have an advantage in one event compared to the other? I mean, I'd guess the best jumpers have a bigger advantage on the large hill?

I mean, I'd guess the best jumpers have a bigger advantage on the large hill? It's the same as with ski jumping - no difference. But, as I said before, winter program has no events so it's completely normal to have multiple almost same events... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
