Me, being ready to finally dedicate my whole life to wintersports again:

Some late nite nostalgic thoughts on ski jumping

We’re already halfway through this year’s 4HT and I got somewhat nostalgic. I DAMN MISS those 14/15, 15/16, 16/17 seasons. Do you remember:

tiny Fannemel setting the world record in Vikersund?

Prevc and Freund fighting for the Crystal Globe till the very last competition, ending with a tie-break?

Hayboeck and Kraft being frequent guests at the podium, also celebrating together just like in Bischofshofen?

Koudelka, Kasai and Amman sharing the podium (and sometimes even the first place)?

Kenneth showing all disbelievers that patience eventually pays off?

happiness on Vincent’s face after his good jumps?

Rune jumping like crazy in Falun?

Prevc siblings fighting against each other? Those are only some of the finest memories that stuck in my head. Don’t get me wrong, but - as a person who’s been watching ski jumping competitions for 15 years or so, I cannot feel the spirit of ongoing season. It simply doesn’t touch me the same way anymore. Something has apparently changed and I’m quite not comfortable with it.

GORAN JANUS APPRECIATION POST

I just want to remind you that this guy and his team achieved this…

► 46 victories (2 x triple victory, 6 x double victory) ● individual - 93 podiums I 1st x 37 2nd x 26 3rd x 30 ● P.Prevc, D.Prevc, Damjan, Tepeš, Hvala, Semenič got first victory in World Cup ● team - 19 podiums I 1st x 9 2nd x 2 3rd x 8 ● before Slovenia didn´t have any team victory

► 9 medals ● Olympic Games (2) medals I silver - P.Prevc bronze - P.Prevc ● Nordic World Ski Championships (2) medals I silver P.Prevc bronze - P.Prevc ● Ski Flying World Championships (5) medals I 2 x gold - Kranjec, P.Prevc bronze - P.Prevc silver - team (P.Prevc, D.Prevc, Damjan, Semenič) bronze - team (Kranjec, Tepeš, Damjan, Šinkovec)

► 5 globes ● Crystal Globe (1) P.Prevc I 3 x top3 finishes ● Ski Flying Globe (4) 1 x Kranjec, 3 x P.Prevc I 7 x top3 finishes ● National Cup I 2 x top3 finishes + 4 Hills Tournament (1) P.Prevc I 2 x top3 finishes

He has made Slovenia a skijumping superpower and spoiled us with results so much that as soon as they got worse, he went from hero to zero. Clearly the aura faded, after all it was long seven years, and new coach is a right thing to do, but it is also sad how easily people forget about joy this team led by Goran brought us.

GORAN, THANK YOU FOR AMAZING SEVEN YEARS!

Anyone have any idea what’s happening with the Slovenian ski jumping team? I was expecting some conference today but there’s nothing O.o like who’s even going to Lahti? This silence is kinda suspicious hmmm

Update! Team Slovenia for Lahti will include Jernej Damjan, Tilen Bartol, Anže Semenič, Domen Prevc, Nejc Dežman and Anže Lanišek. Peter Prevc will take a break and Goran Janus supposedly got sick (as well as Timi Zajc).

-What about your moustache? Is it because of Adam Małysz or any other influences?

-Yes, it’s because of Adam Małysz, but it’s only because I am speaking with Polish TV, so I am saying this.

Richard Freitag, ladies and gentlemen.

you know we might not always get along in the ski jumping family, but we’ve all collectively agreed to love noriaki kasai unconditionally and i think that’s beautiful
