One of the most famous and legendary Ski Jumping competitions, the New Year's competition in Garmisch is about to start! Who will win the comfy winter classic? Will Freitag take the lead in the overall tour?
Ski Jumping in Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Trial round was rather windy and unpredictable. Freitag was easily the most convincing, Kubacki presented himself in fine shape. Kraft and Stoch with rather bad jumps, but I'd expect much better in the competition.
Freitag will win a competition or two but no German is ever going to win the 4HT again
also happy new year
Young Prevc already choked
Happy new year czechbro.
I'd still consider Freitag to be the huge favourite for the 4 hills win this year, but we'll see. Would love to see Kamil or Dawid or Stefan win of course.
Tande's completely lost his form. What a shame.
>wind +10
What the fuck.
>you now remember the Michael Schumacher of ski jumping
Bartol!!!
what the fuck is a bartol
dober dan my slovenian bros
that was a nice one
Man I liked Schmitt back in the day. Comfy memories from childhood.
What a jump by Bartol! Amazing jump all around, but also a bit disappointed that the wind is changing so much right now. From +12 to 0 in a couple minutes.
I haven't really watched ski jumping since my grandpa passed away in 2010 (he was a huge fan).
Any of the old gods still around?
only Kasai really
same to you
>Kraft
wtf Kraft
Schluchtenscheißer BTFO
Kasai, Ammann, Ahonen still jump. Damjan and Kranjec too. Funaki and Okabe occasionally jump in competitions in Hakuba/Sapporo. I think that's about it.
Quite a surprise by Kraft. I mean, I did expect a 10-20 ranking by him, but not this - he won't even qualify to second round at this rate!
is this /bundes/?
>lelstria
no, this is /Karter/
>Schlierenzauer saving Austria from being absolutely BTFO
>LGTSS

AUSTRIA
Kraft not in the final round.
Österreich BTFO

With so critical speeds, it seems that even a small tail wind results in way worse jumps than normally. Just compare Wellinger with Geiger's jump, with quite similar power at the take-off and similar technique, Geiger's jump was throughout the flight phase a couple meters higher. Really wish they could compensate better, but I don't think anything can be done.
Also seen there in Wolny's jump, shouldn't have flown that far in comparison with R.Kobayashi, for example.
>Koudelka
why is life full of pain and suffering
Why do we suck so much?
>Štursa
is this real life?
Slovenes and Norwegians dominating a competition with low speeds and potential headwind in the later flight phases. Nice to see nothing has changed lol
Czechs and Finns equally, lol

Amazing by Kamil! Might not be a knockout jump, but very cool and balanced with perfect style (How is that not a 19,5?).
Nice by Junshiro too.
Stoch is back in form and is going to dominate the OG
Wow, a rare mistake by Freitag there in the takeoff, quite noticeably late. Not a big mistake, but costs quite a lot... Good for Kamil!
Freitag reeeee
Hannawald-curse is real, >we will never stop choking
>Kožíšek
so close yet so far
No! Such a disappointment for Hula. Late and then imbalanced in the air, very unstable... I hope he can fix things a bit in the second round.
>name is Kraft
>seems to have no Kraft
laughed
Kraft durch (Severin) Freu(n)d(e)
A bit of a more classic Kubacki jump, losing all the speed in the end and falling like a rock... Though also with horrible wind conditions. Still good for him in the overall tour, didn't break it completely.
Terrible wind.
Peter Prevc had almost same bad wind as Hula and did a great jump. If Prevc had normal wind he would be top 3 today I think.
Bad wind, yeah, but the bad takeoff is just as much to blame for it.
True with Prevc, that was top notch jumping. I hope he or Bartol can finish on the podium today. Poland/Japan/Slovenia is a pretty damn comfy podium desu.
>you teach a girl, you teach a generation
what did eurosport mean by this?
but wtf Tilen Bartol?

saved. We never have webms posted in these threads. If only they were posted in those biathlon and ski racing threads I would visit them more.
can Stoch win the ski flying WC?
yay
Hannu Lepistö always said that Stoch can well win it. He said that while the media has always talked about Stoch's inability to ski fly well, Stoch's technique should actually be one of the best for ski flying. And being one of the best competitors in ski jumping, nerves should not be an issue.
That being said, I'd say that Wellinger, Kraft, Forfang, Freitag and Fannemel have all a better chance of winning it this year, but dunno... I hope he can win it and further cement his position as one of the best ski jumpers ever.
Shame about Hula, broke mentally
fucking commie state tv in charge of streaming without lag
why do Germans like to wave corporate flags at sporting events?

based Damjan

offered without comment
It's a bit sad watching Schlieri jump nowadays. The technique is so bleak and unaggressive compared to his best days. One of the best, most active jumping styles of all time... and now this.
Kubacki get it together at the take-off, forward not up
yeah,he's scared to get injured again. it's really noticable.
Prevc now pls don't choke
he didn't!!!

Kek
The fuck with those >135 jumps now?
Really nice by Prevc, good job.
True. It's the same with Larinto, he hasn't been the same since 2011

Just amazing by Freitag, the best jump in this competition. What an effort.

>his country doesn't wave corporate flags to push his champion
Top lel
Not the wind again
In the alpine city event later we'll have Norwegian flags with brown cheese commercial
Yeah. Still only gonna be second I fear.
Are judges rigging Freitag?
No. Norwegians got higher scores than him.
autocorrect: Nigerians got hot sluts then him.
With this wind, I dunno. Fun to see what they're gonna do now.
German cunts delaying so Freitag wins. Fucking disgusting.
Lel, should they cancel 2nd round, then Freitag is far away.
Hofer suck my dick
Implying this isn't the comfiest part of ski jumping.
Not bad Bartol
of course they'll do anything to freitag win
they didn't have an excuse then, weather was good
