The trial round starts at 12:15 CET, competition at 13:30. Top favourites include Johansson, Forfang, Stoch and Wellinger. Yesterday the Norwegians were the best. Hayböck, Geiger and Kobayashi looking to surprise.
What's gonna happen, can the Polish get a medal? I think Kamil can still win this, but it depends on the winds.

What happened to based Freitag?
He hasn't really found his form here on these hills yet. He's been pretty good in large hill, but I think it's only good for the places 5-7. His form's been going down the same time as Wellinger's has gone up - and I think Freitag would really like being the sole best jumper on the team, as opposed to Freund's or Andi's second-in-arms.
Bookies giving Kamil the best odds of winning, followed by Johansson, Forfang and Wellinger. Johansson the clear favourite in h2h against Forfang.
We need to stop chocking in second rounds
Americrashes
Would love to see a big CIA stance jump.
>Kasai 葛西
葛 = Kudzu, Japanese arrowroot. 西 = west. Maybe his ancestor lived in the west of Kudze field. Place name Kasai is in Tokyo.
>Kobayashi 小林
小 = small. 林 = woods. So Kobayashi means grove in English.
>Takeuchi 竹内
竹 = Bamboo, 内 = inside. Maybe his ancestor lived in a place inside of bamboo woods.
what's up with Harri Olli anyway? is he still jumping or did he give up again?
are you real japanese?
Yes, konnichiwa
What's the kanji for Ryoyu? I always thought that was a slightly unique name.
What evil pact with the devil did Kasai do that allows him to still jump at age 10000000000000000000?
Japanese makes name with meaning or sound of Kanji words.
Maybe the name took sound. So it has no special meaning. I'm not sure this name, sorry.
He is called "Kamikaze Kasai" when he was young
>Kamikaze jumper
>immortal
????
really makes you think
Freitag sounded really down in an interview yesterday. He had essentially given up already, didnt think he could do well today. Was pretty depressing actually.
Andi is our only shot.
how long until it starts?
Kasai's jumping looks like going to attack

Im thinking Johansson ahead of Stoch and Wellinger.
Apparently Freitag was 2nd in the last practice though? Hmmm....
Another medal would be cool
big if true
D..do we have a shot at gold lads?
when will janne ahonen's son compete in the Olympics?
I used to be blond when I was a baby, but now I'm like Janne
me too, but my hair is even darker than jannes now
same
how i want it to end:
1. Kasai
2. Freitag
3. Hula
how it will probably end:
1. Forfang
2. Johansson
3. Stoch
Will be interesting. The Norwegians also with really good speeds.
reminder
I hope not
Yeah, but we're not favourites. I don't think Stoch will choke again.
My modest prediction:
1. Johann A. Forfang
2. Kamil Stoch
3. Robert Johansson
As much as i love Eisenbichler, Leyhe shouldve started in his place on the large hill.
peak male performance

Sounds might accurate. Kamil's gonna get medal, but the gold can go to any one of the three.
>we're not favorites
yes you are
Any streams? bbc has let me down.
In team competition you are,
in this one Forfang has a chance
Nonono. Just because Forfang and Johansson won the qualification doesn't mean we're favourites. It' still Stoch and Freitag.
Finnish triple lead, what a time to be alive
Stoch maybe, but Johannson has just been more consistent and is the number one favorite. Freitag is definitely not a favorite any more.
and only 40 jumpers to go
Oh I know we're favourites in the team comp. We have to win that. I'd say Forfang, Johansson and Tande has a chance, but it's still Stoch and Freitag.
don't try un-jinx yourself mate!!
how much larger is large hill
Nonono! It'll be Stoch, trust me!
is the team comp in the normal or the large hill?
Yeah, it honestly looks like Finland might even have two athletes on second round. This is what happens when the winds are pretty equal!
Is Colloredo drunk?
Forfang is favourite m8
Don't know how big this hill is, but typical hill size in a large hill is somewhere between 140 - 150.
Why did this change from 124.5 to 124.0 to 123.5?
usually it was
90k = small hill
120-130k = large hill
cuz wind compensations
large hill always
Large. Don't worry. We'll win it. Poland and Germany has a chance, sure, but it seems very unlikely.
Zog!
It calculates wind in real time.
Ahonen showing the young boys how it's done
Nonono, it's Stoch
It's Forfang
Hopefully based mustache man can make it
Poland really deserve a gold medal though
Closer
It's Hayböck m8s
Really nice by Insam, very good and stable jump, quite aggressive in the air.
Same goes for Boyd-Clowes, getting better all the time!
Races in Canada and Usa when?
I would like to see Simi Amman getting a medal again. He is so passionate
Ahonen 153m in second round and wins gold m8
Wow, didn't know that. But isn't one the max distance someone actually landed at? How can that change with wind?
Stoch.
A Johansson win would be great. But yeah, Poland deserves a win too.
USA
why does this sport attract shotas?
No, it's the distance one needs to jump to take the lead. It changes with the wind because you get bonus/penalty points from the wind conditions.
when Copper Peak is renovated
nice
Ahonen shares the gold with Kasai and Damjan
Quite a bomb by Bickner, dude knows how to fly.
>korean memes
R A R E
if the wind conditions are worse, you may get away with jumping shorter
they get compensation points for backwind and deductions for frontwind
USA USA USA
I won't be able to handle USA being good at ski jumping.
What about Salt Lake City?
you wont have to
A girl in my class fancied Schlierenzauer back in 2010
>But isn't one the max distance someone actually landed at?
Are you trying to say that the distance the jumper needed to jump in order to beat the guy in the lead changed? Because yes, that happens. Wind conditions change, and they can have a lot to say, so they give/take points away based on wind conditions, so the one who had the best jump actually wins.
Why do they have judges in this sport? What's the point? Wouldn't it be better if the one with the best distance wins?
KOBAYASHI!
NIPPON STRONG
But you only get #1 if you also have the best style. So take the lead from what? Does the green line also move back/forth?
SUGOIIIIIIIIIIII
Dat Nipon jump
everyone lands on 2 feet then, no telemarks no nothing
KOBAYASHI
i used to look like young schlierenzauer
same """"hairstyle""""
for some weird reason teenage girls like it
>no gold yesterday
>no gold today (yet)
Wind is a huge random factor. Can easily decide over several metres of distance.
To reduce the impact of it, they use a wind multiplier that adjusts points and distance to even it out.
So someone with bad wind conditions doesn't need to jump the same distance like someone with good wind conditions...
the line is assuming 3x 18.5
