Ski flying -- helmet cam @ Planica

(kulpims)
1 decade 5 years 6 months 2 weeks ago

FIS Wold Cup ski flying finals were held in Planica (Slovenia) this weekend. The organisers expected jumps over 230m this year, but we've had terrible weather and the wind just didn't allow for record breaking distances. Yesterday's competition was won by austrian Gregor Schlierenzauer with 203m and today's team competition went to the Norwegians. The current world record is held by norwegian Bjørn Einar Romøren and is set at 239m:

Janne Ahonen went even further, but didn't land:

update: although today's final event was again taunted by changing wind, we saw some great jumps in the first series, over 220 and even 230m. but then the jury decided to abort the series with just 5 best jumpers to go and everybody had to start the first round again from a lower starting gate (which means less exit speed). the second series was rather uneventful, with much shorter than average distances. the competition was won by Olli Harri of Finland with 211m from the first and 219.5m in the final series
