Okay, I was initially soooo excited about 4hills for the women, but guys... This is literally the worst possible outcome. Garmisch for the women when the men are in Oberstdorf and vice versa? And the Austrian venues might even be other hills? So wtf is the difference between this and the Silvester tour then? No one will be watching them live in Garmisch when they could be in Oberstdorf to watch the men instead! And who would want to miss watching the traditional men’s new years day competition to go watch another “random” competition so close by?

Why is FIS being so idiotic and making the women compete with the men for an audience (which the men will no doubt win overwhelmingly) when they could’ve just let them jump on the same location without an overlap? But instead “no one” will come to the women’s venue just like always. And the TV networks will likely not cover it any more than they have covered other women’s competitions. What is even the point then? Why couldn’t they just fucking let the women have their competition on the men’s quali day, then the huge crowd that comes to watch the men’s quali can also watch a competition as well! But no, working around those logistics apparently isn’t worth it, so let’s just shove the women somewhere else instead🙄

Getting the women to 4hills would be an amazing popularity boost for their sport if they could have the same audience and viewers as the men, but instead FIS is giving them competitions in another location that will overlap with the men’s! So counterproductive ffs!

Yukiya Sato ends the season with a new personal best and the first podium in two years ✨

Last jump of the season of the Crystal Globe winner ✨

Hey guys, I’m listening through last week’s Hoppcast episode again (I’ll post a translated summary of some of the episodes soon, but it might take a few days🙈), but there’s something they talked about that I was wondering if is common knowledge or if they just spoiled something they weren’t supposed to😅

Basically, someone asked if a “Drive to Survive”-type show could work in ski jumping, and then Johann said “we might find out about that” and then he added that he’s been told that Amazon Prime is actually planning to make a ski jumping “Drive to Survive”-type show. They were supposed to start production already, but were stopped by Covid, and apparently they’re still planning to get it done!

So, did I just miss these news or is it news to all of us?

If anyone would be so kind to post or link to today’s podium ceremonies, I would be ever so grateful 🙏

I’m not forgiving Norwegian TV for depriving me of the podiums of Ryoyu’s overall victory, Marius’s victory in Planica and Yukiya’s first podium of the season😢

Marius Lindvik wins last Competition of the 21/22 season | Planica | 27.03.2022

[ryoyuftw]

Norwegian commentator (before Marius’ last jump): We call Lindvik the postman, since he always delivers.

How right you are!

So... we have previously talked about Ryoyu’s perfect hair, but after rewatching Yukiya’s last jump, and seeing him take his helmet off at the bottom, just... Wow! He deserves a hair appreciation post as well God damn! 😍

[ryoyuftw]

Thanks for the season guys! It has been a blast!

I hope to see you all back in November!

Norwegian TV not bothering to give us any podiums? Fuck you!

[ryoyuftw]

So who won the nations cup?

Did Austria manage to hold on?

[ryoyuftw]

Oh Marius I’m so happy for you!!! 😍

But a little ambivalent for two reasons: Yukiya not winning and Halvor not getting 3rd in the overall😔

[ryoyuftw]

Yukiya or Marius victory what is this??????

The perfect competition is what it is!!!!
