Ski Jumping World Cup at Planica

The final competition of the season is here! Kamil absolutely dominant in the trial round, but as usual, the Norwegians will improve come the competition.

Can Kamil catch up with Forfang in the Planica 7 classification? Will we see a world record today?

And the trial round results. Astonishing 247m by Kamil in quite weak headwind.

Starts in 5 minutes, get hyped

Tfw i'm there right now

>Tilen Bartol 247.5m
>Peter Prevc 237.5m
>Prevc gets 28 points more even tho they both had the same speed.

This gate compensation is shit. They need to reevaluate it before the next season.

welcome

Yeah, here in ski flying the speeds are all over the place anyway, so doesn't really compare. Works rather well in normal and large hills in my opinion.

Nice!

Damn, you can see how disappointed Ryoyu was by that jump! Expecting a lot more in the second round, at least 230m+

when will they finally fix the upside down gate 8?

we are big country

Germans ahead

Concentrate on the competition Thomas! Don't waste time posting here on Sup Forums, socialize with the other fans, strike new friends, have fun :) I've never posted here while being in Lahti or Kuopio or Ruka, and I'm glad for it lol. Ski jumping fans are all bros.

Amazing jump by Junshiro! Love how he's improving with every single jump. Fun to see who of the brothers ends up as a better jumper in a couple of years.

Just great by Simi, I hope he'll get inspired by this and continue his awesome career

woah incredible

Stoch with a telemark also one judge gave him 20

KAMIL KAMIL KAMIL

I have no words anymore

It's still the qualifying round, right? At the moment I'm too lazy to get out of bed.

Nah, first competition round is already completed.

oh shit, I better get up now

>20 points ahead of Forfang after just one jump
The absolute madman, he's here to win it all.

Domy listen to him. Post pics

Coward refs won't allow wr today.
Stoch jumping from gate 4 in the final round.

Are there any good youtube ski jumping channels? Hell I'll even take reddits threads or whatever they're called.

I think he only lowered it for the strategic reason to secure planica seven. 2nd round starts in a second!

Yeah, he's hungry for the big win and wants to finish the season in style

Can we talk about next season?
Any hopes/predictions?

Kamil reaches 40wins and wins 4competitions in 4hills again

#wouldbegreabutunlikely

the one thing i really want to happen is the reconstruction of Harrachov

Hoping for Kamil to have yet another great season, and I think it's doable if he doesn't get any injuries. I expect Kraft to get better, and the same with Prevc. All in all, the Germans will get better (Freitag will continue to develop, the same with Eisenbichler and Andi), and I'd wager the Norwegians won't be as good - Stjernen will regress, at least. The Japanese will get better as well.

And maybe Maciek and Dawid will get better too? Fuck, it's gonna be a good season. I have a hunch it'll be Kraft who's gonna win the world championships in Seefeld on home turf.

Stoch's jump looked so effortless.

PB for Ryoyu

Great jump again by Ryoyu! Had he jumped like this in the first round, it would've been a top10 finish

>tfw you're not sure if you love or hate someone's trip

>plaaanicaaa plaaaaaniiiiicaaaa plaaanicaa

>*Van Halen - Jump starts playing*

both Geiger's jumps were great, good job

Amazing jump by Kraft! Shame the winds have turned a bit now, so we won't see those 245m+ jumps (except by Kamil)

windluck

is kraft gay?

his gf is hot af

gz stoch

absolutely insane season

pls calm down a bit next year

not a bad competition but i'm still a bit salty that there wasn't a single 250+ jump

Amazing! Not nearly as good a jump as in the first round, but no matter! I hope we can see more of this next year...

It's also very emotional to see all those great athletes like Kraft, Tande, Prevc etc. congratulating the champion. You can see how much they value the man.

Great webm

Individual world cup:
1. Poland
2. Germany
3. Norway

Nations Cup:
1. Norway
2. Germany
3. Poland

I hope other nations can step it up a bit next season.

Japan, Slovenia and Austria can have a comeback.
RIP in peace Czechs, Finns, Russians, Italians and Frogs.

USA the underdog and black horse.

>only end of season was able to stop Stoch
great season for polish ski jumping

it's really hard being a ski jumping fan in Czech Republic

the Finns might have a crysis, but at least they have working hills - we can't even repair the pride of our country and one of only five ski flying hills in the whole world

our jumpers have basically nowhere to train around here

Janda is in politics now, can't he do something?

Thank you all for a very good season. It was nice to post here during the year and share great moments together.

It's also just a few months until the Summer GP!

>summer gp
It's literally nothing.

i heard he's trying, but that's about it

see ya, hopefully summer might get a thread or two at least

HE WON A BIKE
A BIKE!

Did Nykanen ever win a bike?

Didn't think so. Stoch confirmed GOAT

TdF 2019 right there

But is it a nice bike?

Thank you everyone for this season, here's to the next one.
In 2018/19 we're taking over Sup Forums

Stolen from the streets of Berlin/Amsterdam tier.

Welp back to being 6th in the wc standings I guess.
