Wellinger also had far worse conditions than during the Trial round.

Really ...

In the trial round he was lightyears ahead of everyone else, in the qualification it was much closer. Either his jump in the trial round was much better or everyone else got suddenly much better in the qualification ... what do you think?

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

It's a shame that there are athletes eliminated before the opening ceremony (though I imagine most will compete in the large hill)

 

Indeed, they should all take part in LH.

 

:GBR Matthew Parr was the only athlete who ended his competition before the OC back in 2014 (he took part in the figure skating team event, men's short program). Only extra athlete this time is :ISR Buchanan, whose competition however will be on day 1.

According to the wind Points,  he was among the Jumpers with the best wind conditions in trial round. Only Forfang and Tande had it better: http://medias2.fis-ski.com/pdf/2018/JP/3095/2018JP3095RTRIA.pdf

 

In Qualification he had the worst wind of all athletes who finished in the top 40. http://medias2.fis-ski.com/pdf/2018/JP/3095/2018JP3095RLQ.pdf

 

Of course the conditions were all around fair, and the differences weren't that high. But nonetheless there is a difference between having basically the best wind of all jumpers and having the worst, and the points can't compensate everything. Personally, I'm glad that Wellinger can win a round even with more tailwind than his rivals.

    • For sure better for  one silver - I think it was Shelly Rudman, Skeleton.  Can definitely improve on that.   Still remember it as a good games, though - think it was the first time I took two weeks off work to watch a Winter Games.

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?
