I can tell you the content of the Norwegian article, but for a good translation I have not enough time at the moment. So here is a rather free one:
"Okabe won at a dark norwegian skijumping evening.
The japanese Takanobu Okabe won while the norwegian jumpers had a dark evening in the Kuopio, Finnland, on tuesday. Only Anders Bardal hindert the total humiliation.
Geir Ole Berdahl, the norwegian assistent trainier said, that the jumping was not good for some of the jumpers and that the jumping hill in Kuopio punishs the jumpers hard for that. He promises better jumps in Lillehammer because the jumpers know that hill very well. But it is a pity for the organisers in Lillehammer and Vikersund that the PR for the norwegian skijumping is not better.
He thinks that Okabe deserves the victory, because he had many good single jumps throughout the season. As he will become 39 soon, he is the oldest winner of a Worldcup in skijumping. His last victory had he 11 years ago.
Bardal and Aarass were the only two Norwegians who reached the final round. Bardal jumped 116 m in the first and 118,5 m in the final round. He jumped from the 20th on the 11th place and hindert that Mika Kojonkoski had his worst result as norwegian national coach.
In the first round the conditions were changing. This affected the competion. After the first round Harri Olli was the leader with 130,5 m and second was Kalle Keituri, who had 128,1 points and jumped 127 m. In the final round Okabe was the best because the two fins fall behind. Okabe finished with 123 m and was in front of the Swiss Simon Ammand and the polish Adam Malysz, who becomes third.
Jon Aarass jumped just 95 m in the final round and finished on the 29th place. Anders Jacobsen finished as 34th. The other norwegian jumpers were 40th, 41st and 43rd.
Simon Amman is leader in the nordic tournament before Okabe now. Anders Bardal is the only norwegian with a placement under the top."
