How long did Daiki Ito jumped before they decided to restart 1st round?

An interview with Walter Hofer : http://www.nordische-kombination.de/de/front/news/show/515-hofer-noch-in-konsolidierungsphase As I said, it is already 99% sure that new rules will be made official from next season :(

But you said that there were other jumpers who probably deserved gold medal more than Soininen and Bystoel. I fail to see why :pffft:

But Soininen also won a silver in Nagano, and Bystoel also won a bronze in Torino, and they both scored a World Cup victory in Olympic season in which they were regular top 10 jumpers. So it is wrong to say that their titles were undeserved. They were simply in great form during Olympics - and...

Yes, but then again, in 1930's there were World Championships every season except Olympic year...but as I said, it is very difficult to compare jumpers from different periods. For ex. in 1930's victory at Holmenkollen was rated higher than World Championships title. Also, in early 1950's...

Best ski-flyer of all times for me is Helmut Recknagel. He won FIS Ski-flying Week (essentially FIS Ski-flying World Championships in those days) 5 times! - 1957 Planica - 1958 Oberstdorf - 1960 Planica - 1961 Oberstdorf - 1962 Bad Mitterdnorf and finished 2nd in 1959 (Bad Mitterndorf) and 4th...

Hmm...it is difficult to compare jumpers from different periods, so I will split this into 2 periods: 1980-2009 and 1924-1980 3 criterias for period 1980-2009 1) Individual big titles (Weltcupsieger, Olympiasieger, Weltmeister, Skiflugweltmeister, Tourneesieger) 2) Individual medals at big...

And this is exactly the way how Hofer will try to prove his rules are better. And I'm sure that he set the gate so low on purpose :evil: Nordic combiners had their provisional competition round before this qualifications, they started from gate 13 and nobody was able to jump longer than 132m! So...

Ahonen was leading with a jump of 133 meters before the restart, not 120 meters. And the qualification was run from gate 5, they could easily have started from gate 6, no one went longer than 144m from that gate during 2nd training. Is it so difficult do get just the basic facts correctly? :D...

And how did Romoeren jumped 143m, when everyone else around him were jumping around 100m? So he jumped over HS point in a very bad conditions, yet jury would still need to set the higher inrun. Seems to me that you don't understand :D:

And why do we need Kuusamo anyway? Why don't start in Lillehammer, as in late 1990's? It worked pretty well, and hill is always prepared this early in the season...then FIS decided that season must start in Finland (first Kuopio, then Kuusamo), and ever since we have almost same situation...

So, Damjan's jump from gate 7 after restart(109.5m) would have been scored EXACTLY the same as if he had jumped around 104.5m from original gate (gate 5). So, what exactly is the point of doing it?? I'm sorry, but I just don't see the point of increasing the inrun length. :D: The problem lies...

And how do you think new rules would have helped in this situation? :D:

:D:

Men and ladies ski jumping is the same sport basically, but those two are in VERY different phase of development. I really don't understand why is this so difficult to understand. The same goes to football - 99% of football fans could not care less for women football - but it is still same sport...

I don't know why do you find so strange that men and women ski jumping are treated differently. It is only logical that they are in very different phase of development, and there are examples like this in all sports. For ex. women football was only added in summer olympics in 1996! Women ski...

Kaethe, I see your point clearly, and this all is of course true, but like I said - with that argumentation, every single sport could ask to be included in Olympic games. There are 10000+ sports in the world, but only about 30 are included in Olympics. A certain level must be reached before a...

If you want to live in your imaginary world with imaginary enemies and conspiracy theories all around you it is your choice. Nobody here is against women ski jumping, I am simply supporting IOC decision not to enter Ladies ski jumping for Vancouver 2010 because there are clear sporting arguments...

I'm not exactly sure that you understood ms. Yoshida...if she said that ladies are currently 20 years behind the men, it doesn't neccessarily mean that they are currently in a position male ski jumping was in 1990. It rather means that in 20 years time from now, women will be on more or less...

Yes, the whole world is against you, and this is all just big conspiracy from FIS and IOC. 13 years old girls were allowed to jump that day, but they wouldn't allow guys like Okabe and Kasai jumping in the same conditions... You really expect people will believe this? :D: And where exactly did...
