This whole situation seems quite ugly based on this. I am not sure what to think of it. Usually my instinct is to side with the athletes (and I admire those who take on a leadership role to represent the collective interests of a group) but I haven't heard or read anything grave enough to warrant this mess. Perhaps we will learn more in time and better understand the athletes' point of view.

But Johann saying Alex was on a "sympathy tour" seems harsh. He could have said he doesn't appreciate that Alex broke their agreement and that they wanted to keep it all internal and left it at that. But perhaps this has been building up and the issues are deeper.

Hello and goodbye and thank you to everyone of you! I wasn't there much the last couple of weeks because life was crazily busy and I'm actually not even sad the season's ending now because at least I won't be feeling like I'm missing out on something.

All through the season really I couldn't watch as much as I would've liked - which is probably part of the reason why I'm feeling like it wasn't such a great one. Krafti was impressive, very happy for Andi, impressive "comeback" from Pero at the tail end of the season, happy for happy Johann, really really surprised by and happy for Daniel Huber - lots of great things happened but still I'm feeling a bit 'meh' about the season overall and can't even put a finger on why exactly.

A couple words on the Germans: I still have no explanation for why almost the whole team (bar Andi) seemed to completely lose their form after the first third (???) of the season. They started well, with podiums for Pius and Karle, and then they just dropped and dropped and dropped. Only Andi kept going until he was starting to lose steam as well in the last couple of weeks. If you ask me, these things are down to the coach and (not even mentioning the way Horngacher treated and spoke about Eisei) - I think it's time for a new coach for team Germany. And if I may: I'd like Alex Stöckl, please.

Anyway: It was great spending the season with you guys (when I had time to watch and be online) - thank you to every single one of you who shared pics and gifs and videos and information, shared happiness and sadness (and rage over FIS or wind or others), reblogged and liked and simply was part of this wonderful ski jumping community on here. Thank you and have a great off-season - I for one am already looking forward to the next one!!!

The Big Jump

Earlier this afternoon, I watched “The Big Jump” in the cinema. With four other people, but oh well. They had a big premiere event on Wednesday, I think, so that’s probably when all the people from around here who wanted to watch the movie came to watch it. Anyway...

It’s a documentary and we all know what happened last season at the Ski Flying World Championships - but: SPOILER WARNING! Don’t read further if you don’t want to know what they talk about in the documentary.

Here’s a bullet list of my thoughts and reactions:

Half of the time, I had goosebumps. It was so great to see them fly on the big screen, in 3D, with proper sound, the audience roaring and all that. Even knowing the jumps, that didn’t lessen my excitement. It maybe doesn’t beat following the competition at the hill, but it sure is better than watching it on my TV.

They showed some of the jumps with reduced sound from the competition itself and overlaid with a heartbeat. If I wasn’t having goosebumps already, that got me.

The rest of the time, I was grinning like an idiot. MY BOYS. ❤️

They talked a lot about adrenalin and what it must feel like for the athletes. Stöckl said that after the jump, they have adrenalin levels like someone in fear of death. After the competition, they don’t do much, just try to relax, read something, to get the adrenalin down again.

There was some footage of Noriaki Kasai having an official party thrown for him and in his speech, he talked a little bit German. He’s so great. The interviewer said “When you retire with 60...” and he said that no, he won’t be jumping until he’s 60. But he’d love to be part of the Olympics in Beijing.

Krafti and Michi were interviewed at a golf resort. And they sat so close, aww. They talked about the specifics of ski jumping, that everything has to happen automatically because it happens so fast that you can’t really control it, which makes ten perfect jumps in a row practically impossible. Sometimes, when they look at their jumps, they don’t see any mistakes and it still wasn’t so far. Other times, there are mistakes and the jump still works very good, when they’re “in the flow”.

Richi and Andi stood on top of the ski jumping hill in Oberstdorf and I can’t really remember what they talked about because Andi giving the heart eyes to Richi irritated me, haha.

Robert and Anders were interviewed in a café or bar and they talked about fear and Norwegians liking records, both of them being former world record holders. Anders also said that he likes sweets and it’s sometimes hard to tell himself that he’ll have to abstain the cake on some days. They also had a scene with Johann and his drone. He really loves stuff like that.

Thomas Diethart was shown with Alexander Pointner at Bergisel. They talked a lot about crashes (and showed them - I wouldn’t have needed to see that but I can understand why they did) and why he ended his career.

They interviewed Daniel in Austria at the Dachstein massif and talked about his fear of heights. Kind of cruel making him stand at the balustrade (and on/next to a suspension bridge) there. I think I would’ve felt queasy there. Daniel said he only looks at the in-run when he’s up there and always has the same words in his head in order to concentrate. He also compared ski jumping to a space rocket which sounded weird but made sense when he explained it. A rocket burns most of its fuel when it’s still on the ground but when it finally takes off, it has an immense speed. They also showed him at home with his mum, signing autographs.

What annoyed me a little bit were the following things:

Hanni standing in a studio, kind of talking to the audience. That didn’t really fit with the rest of the way the documentary was filmed. I also had the impression it was maybe done in a hurry because at one point, Hanni misspoke and why wouldn’t they just film that again...?

They also listed Andi Wellinger twice in the credits and once showed “Kamil Stoch” when I don’t think it actually was Kamil (or the flashing of the name was poorly timed). Maybe that’s just my perfectionistic streak, but I didn’t like that.

They also switched jumps and locations. Like, you’d see a jumper sit on top in Oberstdorf and after the take-off table, they’d show a jump at Kulm.

The ticket price ...

I am really happy I got to see it. Why wasn’t it three hours long?
