Or ski jumping in general, I doubt we'll ever hear anything again from especially these Chinese guys... I hope I'm wrong, obviously, but this seems like a typical sport where they'll disappear back into nowhere. Actually there is an idea we can have an Asian swing in November & December (followed by Nizhny Tagil) since the early rounds are usually tough to go around due to lack of snow & frost in Europe. I'm unsure Sapporo would like to ditch the mid-January date though. Various vanues have been used for the early November slot and Kuopio/Kuusamo has been ravaged by wind several times, Wisla basically needs artificial snow and it costs a ton (they would like to be a Zakopane double-header in January) while Klingenthal has filled in as the minor German venue since Four Hills is fixed and Willingen is the otherwise popular German round. There is also Titisee-Neustadt & Oberstdorf ski flying to rotate on the calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireRun 179 Posted February 14, 2022 #442 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Peter Prevc really "loves" valentines day. 2015 he won in Vikersund with a WR. 2016 he won again this time with a fall no less. And now he won a silver medal. Source : justony and pdr4332 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NearPup 2,095 Posted February 16, 2022 #444 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Incredible piece of trivia: the only sport where every Canadian athlete competing in Beijing 2022 won a medal is… ski jumping. And it's also the only country who's ski jumpers all won a medal. As we all predicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
