Ski Flying World Championships in Oberstdorf

Trial round starts at 15:00 CET, the competition at 16:00 CET. Tande leads after two rounds, followed by Freitag and Stoch.

Predictions for the day? I'd say Tande has this in the bag, though I hope Kamil can fight for it still. Freitag/Stoch is still up for grabs, I feel Kamil may have a slight advantage because his second jump yesterday was far from perfect technically. Kraft to finish fourth.

Tande will fly this home

What did he say in interviews yesterday? He seemed very happy and relaxed after his jumps, quite a difference compared to the last few weeks.

Kubacki with a fine jump of 203,5m

wow, strong tailwind, how exciting

No problem honestly, Stjernen still jumped 216,5m just now

If he wont choke like he usually does

It will be a pretty boring competition desu. Nothing's going to change anymore.
1. Tande
2. Freitag
3. Stoch

Let's wait and see.
I can see Stoch at least winning today's series.

>not anticipating the inevitable tande choke

Out of last 8 flying WCH where 4 rounds were completed, only 3 times the leader after 2 rounds was the winner

Tande is pretty solid though, we'll see.
I just hope it will be a fair competition.

Tande is too dominant to choke right now, he will win. Freitag and Stoch are also too far ahead of anyone else, they will get 2nd and 3rd place. Freitag might fuck up a landing or something and give Stoch a chance for 2nd place, but I doubt it.

It also depends if there will be 2 or just 1 series today.
But Stoch may fuck up as well.

Would it be crazy if I put 10€ on Tande to win by 30 points?

Not really. It's probable.

comfy

Im mad that jury blew up with Amman and Kasai.

what are the chances of both rounds being completed today?

>wind

I have 10e for Tande to beat Kraft and Stoch to beat Freitag, for total odds of 2.8. Also have a bet of 20e for Kraft to beat Stjernen today. We'll see...

he can choke as usual

LET ME HAVE MY DEATHJUMP

...

Our trial jumper just said that the wind is too strong and that there's a possibility of only one sprint round

Well it's not a disaster like Thursday

if it even starts there will be strong wind from the side or behind
how very exciting

Stockl is fluent in Norwegian and almost no accent, mental

And he learned it in like a couple of weeks. The man must be a literal genius.

Related languages, German is not very different from Norwegian, even though you have that sing-songy melody.

Pussies. Back in the 80s they jumped with 10m/s crosswinds and 115km/h+ on the takeoff

I hope it gets cancelled, I have to study today and I must not waste my time like I did yesterday

different suits

Of course, but most Germans that have lived here for 20 years usually have a fairly thick and distinct accent and peculiar phrasing. His is almost completely natural.

I'd love to see someone jump with the old style in Vikersund or Planica

I just want to watch ski jumping :(

Would you expect a russian to be fluent in Slovenian in a couple of weeks? The thing is he didn't just learn the language quickly, he's 98% fluent and has almost noa accent what so ever.

What happened to mammoth in Harrachov?

it's old and czechs dont have enough cash to rebuild it

we don't talk about Ćertak in here

Tande is going to choke and fly below 200 today. Screencap this.

No, but I didn't know that he had learnt Norwegian in a couple of weeks, I thought he had learnt it in a few years. A Russian could learn Slovenian in a few years to almost native level, but yes, apparently Stoeckl is very talented when it comes to languages.

We should built our own mammot, why isn't Polish Ski Assoc working on it?
inb4 all the resources go into the meme Warsaw competition

reminder there's a ski jumping manga

HAPPENING

we should buy Ćertak it's near the border anyway and Czechs have a land debt towards us

I miss Liberec, Courchevel, Predazzo, Falun. Also They should do a North American tour from Whistler to Park City

I only found about it last month. Weird shit.
Also watch Eddie the Eagle, it's fun.

Why does Coloredo jump so far to the left?

Fucking hell Colloredo almost crashing into the fucking forest.

TURN RIGHT TURN RIGHT

>we traded based Predazzo for some Russian shithole
Worst timeline

I'm waiting for the punchline.

I also miss Predazzo, I feel the flight trajectory is the nicest one of all the hills. Watching Adam's jumps in Val Di Fiemme 2003 gives me the feels

Which ski jumping game did you play as a kid?

It was this one for me. Great fun, kinda want to dig it out and play it again. It had all fake names though, which were just bastardized versions of the real ones. Quite funny.

whenever someone says Harrachov there's a sudden pain in my heart

I had several but I can't remember their names.

Some RTL ones of course, but two from other developers as well. One was pretty similar to the RTL ones but the other one had rather experimental controls and was hard af

...

It was DSJ 2 and 3 for me, really fond memories of it. I always named the jumper Adam

Nice by Janne! I really wish he could slowly build his confidence up. The strength and speed is still up there.

DSJ 2 is still the best one when it comes to actual game mechanics.
Every 3D ski jumping game I've tried was shit.

now that I think of it, ski jumping was among my first video games ever as it was included in Winter Games 1988

Janda

janne fucking ahonen

What the fuck is with the germans and this bastardised fucking version of Englishman in New York? Heard it all the time yesterday as well.

Nice by Zyla! Still not special but nice to see him being consistent. Just need that one week of training in Zsczyrck and we're all set for the team competition in the Olympics.

pic related was shit but cheap

had a lot of fun playing the career mode with my dad and brother

serdecznie zapraszam, Adam Małysz

haha yes i also played against my brother

good times

Great to see that Simi recovered from yesterday's disappointment in the second round. Wish him all the best in the olympics, though I don't think it's enough for a medal there.

Very nice by Hula, too, just awful wind.

dawid kuflyski more like

imagine a world where Kubacki is a good flier
oh wait

Just amazing by Dawid! Getting better and better here in Ober.

Sweet

inb4 jury ruins the fun

Forfang with good wind conditions

tfw jury actually does a good job

>äh Rückenwind äh Aufwind äh Rückenwind

god, Tom Bartels is such a piece of shit

Love me that Prevc style in ski flying with some headwind

I trust the jury

Kasai is my husbando oh gosh

>wind changes constantly
>HURR DEH HEADWIND IS GROW STRONGA WE NO ALLOW LONG JUMP WE LOWER GATE

Typical

this fucker is creating all the tailwind

COME ON RICHIE YOU CAN DO IT

Freitag choke?

WALTER HOFER SKISPRUNGMAFIA

FUCK YOU

RIGGED

SO FUCKING RIGGED

GET FUCKED HRSN

Uffda

And Stoch once again with the wind luck.

>Freitag +28.8

>Choketag
with Ossis you lose

Woah, that was just imbalanced by Freitag. Just a bit too eager at first, and coupled with a strong tailwind.... no chance. Wasn't just wind that was the problem there, there was definitely a technical mistake no matter what Toni Nieminen said.

Tande's jump was excellent, though, no problems there.

Yeeeessssss

DANIEL ANDRE CHOKE

Seriously, how hard are we gonna rape the team competition?
