Hello again to everybody out there
I am still a bit confused about what happen today... but read it on your own
Today is "Dreikönigstag" and traditionally the Four Hills Tournament ends on this day. So, I have followed with Tina, Bibi and Mummy the whole competition in Norwegian, because she does not like the German commentators. It was very exciting.
To watch the ski jumpers as they plunge down the hill was great. Mummy told us that today,the competition take part in Bischofshofen - an Austria city - on a natural hill called Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze.
Here you have a little impression of that hill.
And Mummy also said that there is still much larger jumpinghills. So-called ski flying hills of which there are only 5 pieces in the world and in March Mummy will travel to Slovenia to the biggest one of these hills, since there is held the world championship.
And she promise me, that I will go there too – hopefully.
Throughout the transfer, I was hoping that they show Arthur. He took not part in the contest, but he was prejumper. Sometimes these are also shown, but unfortunately not today.
Here I am watching Wolfgang Loitzl. He had won the Four Hills tournament last season, and this without having ever win a World Cup before. He won his first World Cup during the tour. It was a very big surprise.
Oh and here it is Janne Ahonen. He is a great skijumper. In the next day I will read his biography before leaving to mondfalke on saturday. But one thing I must mention: he is the only ski jumper, who has already won the Four Hills tournament five times.
Here we just look at Hyun-Ki Kim how he makes ready on the jump bar to make his jump. Unfortunately, he did not qualify for the final round of jumping.
Ultimately the Austrian Thomas Morgenstern won this competition, but only with 0.7 points ahead of the Finn Janne Ahonen and Swiss Simon Ammann.
And now here: The winner of the Four Hills Tournament 2009/2010...
it´s also an Austrian. Andreas Kofler. It is first major individual success. But he was nevertheless already successful. So he has won - with only 0.1 points behind his teammate Thomas Morgenstern - at the 2006 Winter Olympics silver medal on the large hill and won the gold medal in team competition.
It was such a great competition I love this sport!
And now I will go to bed so I have enough energy tomorrow to read the biography of Ahonen Janne.
Bye Bye iluaP ruhtrA
