The competition starts at 14:20 CET, that is in five minutes. Kamil Stoch won the trial round and continues his dominating form. Gregor Schlierenzauer also jumped a sensational jump in the trial and came second.
Thoughts, predictions? Who'll finish 2/3 behind Kamil? I'd say it's Johansson for second, Stjernen/Forfang/Ryoyu/Kraft/Schlieri fighting for third along with Wellinger.

Trial round results, quite odd top10.
First for Mustache man
Never heard about Granerud to be honest
Granerud was already in top10 once this year I think, in Engelberg
i like Schuler's style, reminds me of Romoeren
Schliri nice
LEAROYD WTF
I just gotta love Learoyd, the man's gonna be champion one day
so this is the power of Czech ski jumping
I feel sorry for you man, no Bauer any more in skiing and even your ski jumping has come down for its glory days
Sato just can't get those competition jumps hit the threshold - that technique is so aggressive and he's so late all the time, it's a wonder he jumped even that far...
Strange by Lindvik - the jump looked pretty solid to me, now crazy at the take-off but not bad by any means. Yet, only 121m. The power of Holmenkollen and its crazy winds.
Again solid by Wolny! Can't wait to see if he can get those sweet top10 places next season, getting more soliud all the time. I just hope he won't fall into the Kubacki trap of jumping too high.
Schlieri's got his confidence back - with the jump he had in the trial, he was expecting way more today. I hope he can get into the second round so we can see his redemption (hopefully). The man's gonna be a contender again next season.
>wind changing from +1,3 m/s to -0,3m/s
if Kasai wasn't such a good flier he would land somewhere around 100-110m
Damn Ryoyu, always looks so passive and flegmatic in the air and still makes for those beautiful, long jumps. Hayböck 2.0, except for the different type of take off style
Amazing by Bartol!
Wolny's effort seems better and better with every next jump not being able to be in top3
Of course, after I made that post 2 long jumps lul
One of these is not like another
It always seems to be the case here in Holmenkollen, no way to really predict who's gonna jump well and who's not and what is the general level of jumps going to be. The winds are just crazy even though the huge nets were supposed to fix that....
Gotta say the old Holmenkollen was better desu, even though it often ruined competitions (Adam 2007 comes to mind, lol)
nice and fair RAW air
So. What happen to the prevc brothers?
This is Norway now
Damn Dawid, blew it a bit. Not bad though
translation please?
What did he fix in his style that he's better now? He's still doing high jump yet lands further
Well the event is in Norway yet most of crowd is Polish, just poking fun
Can an amateur like me ever be allowed to jump from large hill?
How would I prepare for it?
It's a city
Watch Eddie the eagle movie
Lol, everybody choking. I hate the modern Kollen.
You start on hill for smaller lads and move up
there are amateurs jumping on large hills in FIS Cup so it's not that impossible if you abandoned work and put all the time in ski jumping I think
...
>Kraft
hah nice
definitely one of my goals in the future
I think it's his position in the inrun: compared to earlier years, he's not quite as far back and his ass isn't as low as it was. He can thus go a bit more forward and his upper body is in way better position during the first phase of the flight.
Excellent by Kraft! That was reminiscent of last year, really clean technique.
Andi really lucky with the wind, pretty clutch jump compared to the trial though.
why does thread belong in /mandrama with two or three threads about skateboarding and bouldering/? It sure as hell is not an alternative sport, it's one of the more popular sports in several countries
Stoch. Wew.
What a jump!
how does he do it?
relevant
KAMIL KAMIL KAMIL KAMIL KAMIL
Who can stop this man? Easily the worst speed of all every single time, and every single time he's 3m better than the second best. Just unbelievable - the first time in Kamil's career he's in this automatic mode and not constantly being late in the take off.
STOCH STOCH STOCH STOCH
>worst speed
Malysz also always had the worst speed, I wish this meme with speed would end, it's not as RELEVANT as people make it to be.
>that polish commentary
god would this mountain nigger fuck off finally?
based Stoch
>Ireland
>ski jumping
sure as hell didn't know this
>Ice hockey
>More popular in Germany than biathlon and ski jumping
What?
>Ireland
>ski jumping
Poland strong
that's skiing coluur, witch include biathlon
Those maps are always bullshit
Ok, mixed up the two blue tones then.
>France
>Curling
Nice meme. Alpine skiing and biathlon are much more popular. France didn't even compete in curling at the Olympics.
it's most hours watched. Curling has by far the most hours so in the countries where no one cares about winter olympics it's gonna show up as most hours viewed.
His speed wasn't as low as Kamil's always is. While it doesn't work quite the same way between jumpers, it's a good approximation that holding other things equal, a difference in 1m/s in speed works for around 10m in jumps.
youtube.com
Here, for example, Adam's speed was 92,6m/s, while Hautamäki's was 92,9m/s - and keep in mind that Matti was always very fast at the takeoff. Now, compare Kamil with, say, Johansson, Tande, Wellinger etc. The only guy with close to same speeds is Kraft.
Back in the manly days you had to build speed yourself
youtube.com
true
How does one attain better inrun speed anyway?
Wew fredag
Kek
Kubacki needs to stop praying before every jump.
Good form at the in-run, good equipment, high weight bribes to Walter Hofer.
>it's one of the more popular sports in several countries
poland, norway, austria, germany, maybe finland.
wew
He'd be ded if he didn't right now
Nooo Dawid ;__; Mediocre jump and bad wind, fucking Holmenkollen
It's down to the jumper's weight, how aerodynamic the position is, how well you can balance your weight in the inrun etc. The thing is, with Kamil's technique, he has traded better speed for his optimal take off position, as he can jump in the best angle and be in the best angle in the flight phase with his inrun technique - which also regrettably makes the speed worse. He can't really do anything about it.
Conditions went to shit
He'd be over 130m right now if he didn't
ftfy
praying drains your energy, ever noticed how religious people are mostly sick & weak?
shame Stjernen had such a horrible wind but he got as much as he could out of it
>Nervous literal who 17 years old from France
he's gonna crash and die
These youngsters nowadays, can't channel their inner clutch like Toni Nieminen or Schlieri
Not everyone is designed to be great.
A-at least our team is good
Makes sense

Princess Ingrid Alexandra spotted!
Did she get fat?
This is every episode

Wew lads!
>tailwind
what a shame
Fuck the wind
IMPOSSIBLE
I fucking hate Holmenkollen. This is Adam in 2007 -level.
Didn't see that one coming, Tande.
Shame about Kamil's conditions.
wait what
Anyone else noticed how high he was after take off?
RRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE fucking wind.
That was something
He landed on the fucking green line yet he is 6??? This is bullshit, how do they even calculate this
>windluck
It seemed to me like it was a great jump in the first phase, identical to his earlier jumps, but you could see how there was tailwind around the 100 meter mark. The skis caught the tailwind, Kamil had to adjust and the jump went down like a stone. How on earth they could let Kamil (and many others) jump in these conditions is just unbelievable.
But hey, it's ski jumping, this happens. Just always angry when this ruins a great jumper's greatest jumping form ever.
Any idea why stoch is always so prone to affected by bad wind? Same happened in zakopane desu
This sport is slowing dying. Compare the crowds with the crowds from the 1950s :(
Maybe people would rather watch it at home?
You coudn't do it back then
Most Norwegians just come to watch the cross-country skiing then go home. It's pretty sad. It would probably have less than half the attendance without the Polish fans.
The women's ski jumping earlier today was hyped for weeks as one of the only large hill competitions this season, and Lundby was the clear favourite (she won by over 30 points). Most Poles don't care about women's ski jumping, so the stands were almost empty.
I blame the immigrants
I haven't really thought about it, but I think you're right - definitely more than some other, more "traditional style jumpers" like Freund, Morgi, Tande, Malysz etc. Can't really say anything else.
