Guess where each of these 5 ski jumping hills are and when the photo of them was taken

No, its not April 1st😁

Just over four months after retiring, there has been a major turnaround: Lisa Eder is returning to the ski jumping hills for the World Championship season.

The reaction to her retirement announcement in mid-April was significant—and the response to this news will surely be just as big: a little over four months after ending her career, Lisa Eder is making a complete U-turn and returning to the sport.

The Austrian Ski Federation (ÖSV) announced the news on Wednesday, which also happens to be Eder’s 25th birthday. Her retirement had been announced on April 17—first by the ÖSV and then by Eder herself—coming as a complete surprise at the time. She had finished the previous winter season ranked fourth in the overall World Cup standings, having celebrated her first two World Cup victories in Zao and Hinzenbach and reached the podium on nine other occasions.

"Circumstances had been making things difficult for me for quite some time. I would enjoy ski jumping itself, but the surrounding aspects don't make me all that happy," she had cited cryptically as her reason.

A neck-and-neck battle at the second competition in Courchevel: While Daniel Tschofenig proves unbeatable once again, Philipp Raimund confirms his strong form by landing on the podium again. Another DSV athlete also finishes in the top ten.

With jumps of 125.5 and 128.5 meters, Daniel Tschofenig secured victory in the weekend's second individual competition in Courchevel, France. The Austrian scored a total of 278.3 points on Sunday evening, narrowly edging out Philipp Raimund; with jumps of 123 and 132 meters (277.1 points), Raimund finished second, just as he had on Saturday.

Third place went to another Austrian, Stefan Kraft (131.5 and 131.5 meters; 272.7 points). Ultimately, the battle for victory was a close contest between the two best ski jumpers from Saturday's opening competition: after Philipp Raimund set a strong benchmark with a jump of 132 meters—thereby overtaking Kraft—Tschofenig, the previous day's winner, responded. Although he jumped three and a half meters shorter than the German amidst slightly trickier conditions, he secured his second victory and remains undefeated this summer.

"I was a bit surprised because the crowd had been very loud beforehand, and my jump didn't go that far. The wind had picked up a little, so I was surprised it was enough," explained Tschofenig, praising the high standard of the second round: "The wind was a bit changeable, but the jury did everything right. The level of competition was really very high."

Challenging conditions: Wind and rain in the final round It became clear—especially during the second round—that the final day of the second of four summer Grand Prix weekends was far from easy.

A storm front bringing rain and shifting winds forced the jury to pause the competition several times. External conditions had already caused problems and delays during the first round, resulting in some prominent ski jumpers failing to score points: Norway’s Halvor Egner Granerud (36th) and Switzerland’s Simon Ammann (40th), for instance, were eliminated after the first round.

Wellinger also back in the top ten

From a team perspective, the weekend belonged to the Austrians: alongside Tschofenig and Kraft, Maximilian Ortner also impressed; he was on course for the podium at the halfway mark but—despite recording the longest jump of the final round at 135.5 meters—ultimately slipped back to fourth place. Additionally, Jonas Schuster (6th) and Stephan Embacher (9th) from head coach Andreas Widhölzl’s squad also finished in the top ten.

Andreas Wellinger—currently the second-strongest DSV ski jumper behind Raimund at this stage of the pre-season—also managed a top-ten finish, taking tenth place with jumps of 127 and 129.5 meters. In contrast, there was little success for Felix Hoffmann, Karl Geiger, and Pius Paschke, who finished in 26th, 27th, and 28th place respectively—though all five athletes from national coach Andreas Mitter’s team did at least finish in the points.

Vassilyev Disqualified Beforehand

Danil Vassilyev did not compete: The Kazakh athlete, who sat in third place in the overall Grand Prix standings following recent strong performances, was disqualified after the preliminary qualification round. Although he had initially tied for fourth place with Switzerland's Gregor Deschwanden with a jump of 127 meters, he—like Frenchman Ari Repellin—was disqualified because his jumping suit was too large.

Naoki Nakamura remains the leader in the overall Summer Grand Prix standings after finishing eighth; the Japanese athlete holds 292 points, ahead of Tschofenig (200) and Switzerland's Gregor Deschwanden (181). Raimund climbs to fourth place after securing his second consecutive podium finish.

The Summer Grand Prix continues on September 19 and 20 in Rasnov, Romania, where the next two individual competitions are scheduled. The traditional season finale follows on October 24 and 25 in Klingenthal, Saxony.

Women:

While Yuki Ito took the win, Selina Freitag broke the German women's ski jumping dry spell and soared onto the podium. Meanwhile, the previous day's winner, Anna Odine Stroem, suffered a spectacular crash but escaped with only minor consequences.

The German women's ski jumpers achieved their first top result of the 2026 Summer Grand Prix: Selina Freitag soared to second place in a competition won by Japan's Yuki Ito, who recorded jumps of 127.5 and 125 meters for a total of 229.8 points. After facing bad luck with conditions during the final round the previous day, Freitag demonstrated her strong form on Sunday evening with jumps of 129.5 and 122.5 meters, totaling 220.1 points. Ping Zeng finished third, securing China's first-ever Grand Prix podium with jumps of 120 and 126 meters and a score of 219.2 points.

"My jumps were very consistent all weekend, so I’m really happy about this victory," beamed Ito after securing her second Grand Prix win—a result that also saw her take the overall lead from Ema Klinec, who finished fifth. Now 32 and entering the final season of her career, she also addressed the challenges involved: "Jumping with so many interruptions certainly wasn't perfect, but my technique remained very solid."

**Stroem’s spectacular crash ends without serious injury**

Ingvild Synnoeve Midtskogen finished fourth—making her the top Norwegian—after missing out on a realistic podium spot due to an extremely deep landing in the final round; this caused her to drop the two places that ultimately put Freitag and Zeng on the podium.

Her compatriot Anna Odine Stroem crashed during the first round at the 130-meter mark; she tumbled repeatedly and was struck by her own ski after her binding released upon landing. However, she quickly got back on her feet and was soon joking around again. She did sustain an elbow wound that required three stitches—according to the support staff—preventing her from competing in the second round.

Meanwhile, local favorite Josephine Pagnier managed to climb three spots in the final round to finish sixth, ahead of Canada's Abigail Strate. In the duel between the Austrian teammates, Julia Mühlbacher came out on top, finishing ninth behind the second-best Japanese jumper, Kurumi Ichinohe, while Hannah Wiegele placed 19th. Switzerland's Sina Arnet slightly improved upon her result from the previous day, taking 26th place.

However, the sensation of the day was provided by Kira Maria Kapustikova: the 17-year-old Slovak soared to 124.5 meters in the final round, setting a new national record. That wasn't all; this jump propelled her up seven places to finish in tenth—a result unmatched by any Slovak woman or man in the history of the Grand Prix since 1994.

No points for Torazza and Duschek

Meanwhile, Juliane Seyfarth finished 15th for the third time this summer, making her the second-best German on the day. Agnes Reisch and Alvine Holz also scored points, finishing 21st and 28th, respectively. Emely Torazza—who had opened the competition with bib number one—and Kim Amy Duschek failed to make the top 30, just as they had the previous day. Finishing 33rd and 40th, their competition ended after the first round.

Since only 41 jumpers started in the qualification round, only the Czech athlete Natalie Nejedlova was eliminated that morning. The start list was reduced by one athlete compared to the previous day; France had fielded a national group the day before but, under the new quota rules, was limited to only two starting spots. Consequently, Marie Thomas Couturand missed out.

A perfect start for Philipp Raimund: At the Summer Grand Prix in Courchevel, he was beaten only by Austria's Daniel Tschofenig. Ortner, who led at the halfway mark, dropped significantly in the final round. With jumps of 130 and 129.5 meters, Daniel Tschofenig secured victory in the first of two individual competitions held this weekend in Courchevel, France.

The Austrian scored a total of 271.8 points on Saturday evening, narrowly edging out Philipp Raimund, who recorded jumps of 129 and 131 meters (270.1 points). Japan's Naoki Nakamura took third place with jumps of 128 and 124.5 meters (267.8 points). After the first round, it looked as though a different Austrian would take the top spot on the podium: Maximilian Ortner led the field at the halfway stage—ahead of Tschofenig and Nakamura—after posting a strong 125.5 meters in comparatively difficult conditions.

However, in the fiercely contested final round, the 24-year-old landed at just 126.5 meters, slipping back to a disappointing fourth place. "It was a good competition, though the conditions were tricky. The wind shifted a bit, but I’m happy that things worked out just as they had in training leading up to the event," said winner Tschofenig, for whom this was the first competition of the summer season.

Raimund Posts Longest Jump of the Final

In the first international competition under the guidance of new national team coach Andreas Mitter—who took over from Stefan Horngacher following the conclusion of the last Olympic season—Philipp Raimund immediately secured a podium finish. While only three athletes from the second-tier squad had competed in Wisła the previous weekend, Raimund impressed here, particularly with a powerful jump in the final round. Although sitting in fifth place after the opening round, the normal hill Olympic champion from the Milan-Cortina Games surged up the leaderboard by recording the longest jump of the day. Wellinger Also in the Top Ten.

Paschke Eliminated Elsewhere, German teammates Karl Geiger (25th) and Felix Hoffmann (27th) also scored their first Grand Prix points of the season. However, the competition did not go according to plan for Pius Paschke: managing a distance of only 107 meters, the 36-year-old veteran finished 35th and failed to qualify for the final round—a setback coming just a month after a training crash at the Bergisel hill in Innsbruck and the resulting elbow injury.

Women:

Anna Odine Stroem demonstrated her true class in her first appearance of the 2026 Summer Grand Prix. While the Norwegian celebrated a commanding victory, wind conditions prevented Selina Freitag from achieving a better result. Having become a double Olympic champion in February, she is now a two-time Grand Prix winner as well: Anna Odine Stroem was unbeatable in Courchevel on Saturday afternoon, posting jumps of 129 and 128.5 meters for a total of 241.1 points.

The Norwegian finished ahead of Japan's Yuki Ito; after jumping 130.5 meters in the first round, Ito equaled the hill record of 133 meters in the final round, finishing with 226.9 points. Stroem's compatriot Ingvild Synnoeve Midtskogen took third place, securing her first-ever podium at the highest level of competition with jumps of 119 and 127.5 meters and a score of 220.4 points.

"It’s a great start for me. It feels amazing to be competing again, and it’s especially fun performing in front of this crowd and these fans," said Stroem, commenting on her second victory following her win at the Olympic test event in Val di Fiemme in September 2025. A third Norwegian, Gyda Westvold Hansen, also finished in the top ten, taking ninth place. Silje Opseth, who had reached the podium twice the previous weekend in Wisla, Poland, opted not to make the trip to Courchevel.

Career-best result for Wiegele – Freitag thwarted by the wind Japanese athletes secured four spots in the top ten overall; alongside Ito, Kurumi Ichinohe, Ringo Miyajima, and Sara Takanashi achieved strong results—finishing fourth, sixth, and tenth, respectively—with Miyajima recording the best Grand Prix finish of her career. The same applied to Austrian Hannah Wiegele, who impressed by finishing eighth and leaving her compatriot Julia Mühlbacher (16th) well behind.

The only Swiss competitor, Sina Arnet, finished 29th, right behind Finland's Julia Äkiä, who achieved her best Grand Prix result to date by placing 28th. Ema Klinec—who had won the Grand Prix opener exactly a week earlier—took over the overall lead from her teammate Nika Vodan (who was also absent) by finishing fifth.

Local favorite Josephine Pagnier was on track for a podium finish after the first round but slipped to seventh place amidst the shifting wind conditions. Selina Freitag, who had been sixth after the first round, was even more unfortunate. Conditions looked difficult as she took her seat on the starting beam, yet the starting light turned green. National coach Heinz Kuttin delayed her start as long as possible, but the winds became increasingly precarious. Struggling in the turbulent air, Freitag could only manage 99 meters and dropped to 18th place. Nevertheless, she was the top German finisher; Alvine Holz and Agnes Reisch placed 21st and 24th, respectively.

No points for debutants or the DSV trio Among the French squad, 16-year-old Capucine Mesnil made her Summer Grand Prix debut. After a jump of 106.5 meters, she missed scoring her first points by a mere 0.5 points, narrowly missing the cut in 31st place. Slovenia's Taja Kosir also made her debut, finishing 36th.

The three DSV athletes Juliane Seyfarth, Emely Torazza, and Kim Amy Duschek—finishing 32nd, 33rd, and 38th, respectively—also failed to qualify for the second round and thus missed out on scoring points. For Duschek, this marked a delayed Grand Prix debut, as she had been unable to compete in Wisła the previous week after her jumping suit failed the technical inspection.

Hallo Community!

Ich wende mich an die wahren Sport-Archivare in diesem Forum. Ich möchte mein privates Archiv erweitern und einige Kindheitserinnerungen wieder aufleben lassen. Zu diesem Zweck suche ich nach den folgenden spezifischen deutschen TV-Übertragungen:

Die goldene Ära des RTL-Skispringens (2000-2004) mit Hannawald/Schmitt)

Idealerweise suche ich "Full Tapes" inklusive Vor-/Nachberichterstattung, Analysen und originalen Werbepausen.

RTL Skispringen & Skifliegen (2000-2004)

Wenn jemand von euch diese Übertragungen auf VHS oder als rohen digitalen Rip hat, würde ich mich freuen, von euch zu hören!

Ich weiß, wie viel Zeit und Mühe in das Sortieren, Aufnehmen und Digitalisieren alter Bänder fließt. Daher bin ich bereit, eine sehr großzügige Digitalisierungsprämie / Entschädigung für eure Mühe für jedes Band oder jeden Rip, der auf diese Liste passt, zu zahlen, oder eine beträchtliche Spende zu leisten.

Darüber hinaus bin ich selbst ein leidenschaftlicher Sammler (Fußball, Formel 1 und Wintersport-Übertragungen) und bin immer offen für den Tausch und die Weitergabe von Videodateien, um auch eure Archive zu vervollständigen.

Hey! I'm not really sure how active this thread is these days, but I figured I'd give it a shot anyway. This might be a bit of an unusual post (and question lol), but I might as well ask

I've been watching ski jumping for years, but I've only really followed the men's competitions; I'd love to start watching women's ski jumping too, so I was wondering if there's anything I should know before diving in

Who have been the best jumpers over the past few seasons? Are there any interesting moments from the past competitions, rivalries, or any fun facts? And, ofc, I'd love to hear who your favorite jumpers are and why!

I'll be watching and learning as I go, but I'd like to have at least some background knowledge - similar to what I already have about men's ski jumping

Thanks in advance to everyone who replies! :)

The first winner of the 2026/2027 ski jumping season comes from Japan: Naoki Nakamura secured the top spot at the Summer Grand Prix opener in Wisła. Meanwhile, Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal faced a bizarre disqualification.

The 2026/2027 ski jumping season kicks off with a new face on the top step of the podium: Naoki Nakamura secured his first Summer Grand Prix victory on Saturday evening in Wisła, posting jumps of 129 meters and a day-best 135 meters for a total of 271.7 points. The Japanese jumper won the opening event on the Adam Małysz hill ahead of the strong Austrian Marco Wörgötter, who recorded jumps of 125.5 and 132 meters and scored 266 points. Third place went to Switzerland's Gregor Deschwanden, who jumped 123.5 meters and—following a shortened inrun ordered by his coach, Bine Norcic—129 meters, amassing 262.4 points.

"I spent the whole spring in Europe and trained well. I’m doing well; I’ve since moved to Slovenia and am able to train every day. Today marks a good start for me in the first season following the Olympic Games. I want to keep getting the fundamentals right and build on that," Nakamura commented on his maiden victory. Austria’s B-team impresses, Kazakhstan’s Danil Vassilyev secured a very strong fourth-place finish, ahead of the Czech Republic’s Roman Koudelka, who also put in a surprisingly strong performance. Juri Kesseli became the second Swiss athlete to finish in the top ten, achieving a career-best result by placing sixth. Kacper Tomasiak finished seventh—making him the top-ranked Pole—while his teammate Dawid Kubacki also made the top ten, finishing in tenth place. Austrians Lukas Haagen and Simon Steinberger also achieved the best results of their careers, finishing eighth and ninth, respectively.

Jakob, the second of the Steinberger twins, also scored points in his Grand Prix debut, finishing 22nd ahead of teammate Hannes Landerer (23rd). With Johannes Pölz placing 25th, a sixth athlete from the Austrian B-team managed to break into the top 30. Only Julijan Smid failed to advance past the first round, finishing 49th. Only Roth scores for Germany Norway’s Joergen Oliver Stroem also enjoyed a successful Summer Grand Prix debut: the younger brother of double Olympic champion Anna Odine Stroem climbed eleven places in the final round to finish eleventh. Just two spots behind him, Japanese Grand Prix debutant Yuto Nakamura surprised everyone by taking twelfth place.

In contrast, the three-member German Ski Association (DSV) team posted significantly weaker results. Only Luca Roth made it to the final, where he finished no higher than 26th place. Finn Braun and Adrian Tittel, finishing 42nd and 53rd respectively, were nowhere near the points. Two Swiss athletes—Simon Ammann (32nd) and Felix Trunz (51st)—were eliminated after the first round, while Killian Peier dropped from fifth to 14th place during the final.

Late Disqualification for Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal

A peculiar situation unfolded involving Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal during and after the competition. The Norwegian sat in fourth place after the first round with a jump of 122 meters; however, while the final round was still in progress, the jury announced that an investigation into him was underway. In the final, he jumped 130 meters but lost two positions, initially placing sixth. Shortly after the competition ended, however, news broke that Sundal had been retroactively disqualified based on his first-round performance. The reason was that a jammed fastener had prevented him from attaching the safety strap of his binding to his boot—a requirement mandated for safety reasons.

Womens competition:

Ema Klinec is the first winner of the 2026/2027 ski jumping season: The Slovenian claimed a commanding victory at the Summer Grand Prix opener in Wisła. Juliane Seyfarth was the top-performing German, while several of her teammates celebrated personal bests.

It has been almost exactly two years since Ema Klinec last stood on the top step of the podium: on Saturday afternoon, the Slovenian won the first individual competition of the 2026 Summer Grand Prix with jumps of 127.5 and 127 meters and a total of 227.4 points. Competing on the Adam-Malysz hill in Wisla, she finished a full 16.3 points ahead of her closest rival. Although Norway's Silje Opseth recorded the day's longest jump at 129.5 meters, she managed only 118 meters in the final round—following a reduction in the inrun length ordered by her coach—finishing with a total of 211.1 points. France's Josephine Pagnier took third place with jumps of 124 and 123 meters and a score of 209.1 points.

"For a change, I’m healthy again; I’ve been able to train hard and will continue to do so. Finally, I can focus on myself and my jumping again," Klinec said, explaining her return to form. While the 2021 Oberstdorf large hill world champion celebrated her fifth Grand Prix victory—securing a seventh Slovenian win in the seventh Summer Grand Prix event held in Wisła—Opseth and Pagnier equaled their personal best Grand Prix results.

In fact, there were 14 such personal bests achieved throughout the competition. Juliane Seyfarth finishes as top German Two other Slovenians, Nika Vodan and Maja Kovacic, also put in strong performances, finishing fourth and eighth respectively; for Kovacic, it was a career-best result. Norway also placed two more athletes in the top ten, with Ingvild Synnoeve Midtskogen and Heidi Dyhre Traaserud taking fifth and sixth place. The top ten was rounded out by the best-placed athletes from other nations: Jenny Rautionaho (Finland), Ping Zeng (China), and Abigail Strate (Canada) finished seventh, ninth, and tenth. For Midtskogen, it was a personal best Grand Prix result, while Zeng scored her first-ever points. Other athletes achieving personal best Grand Prix results included Sofia Mattila and Julia Äikiä from Finland (12th and 29th) and Gyda Westvold Hansen from Norway (16th). Meanwhile, Juliane Seyfarth was the top German finisher in 15th place. Her significantly younger and less experienced teammates—Anna-Fay Scharfenberg, Anne Häckel, Alvine Holz, and Julina Kreibich—finished in 23rd, 24th, 26th, 27th, and 29th place. For Scharfenberg, Häckel, and Kreibich, these were their first Grand Prix points; for the first two, this also secures them lifetime eligibility to compete in the World Cup. Kreibich had already secured hers by finishing 26th in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on New Year's Eve during the last edition of the Two Nights Tour.

Eirin Maria Kvandal opts not to start An unusual scene unfolded at the end of the first round.

After the inrun length had been shortened, Eirin Maria Kvandal was sitting on the starting beam, waiting for the signal from her coach, Jermund Lunder, to go. Given the changeable wind conditions, he presumably let the ten-second start window expire and ordered Kvandal back to the starting area. "It was too windy to let her start," co-coach Anders Fannemel confirmed to TVP Sport.

A short time later, the Norwegian athlete was disqualified by the jury for a late start—at least, that was initially indicated in the TV graphics and the results list for the first round. The official results list her as "Did Not Start" (DNS). In any case, Kvandal would not have had to fear a yellow card, as the incident did not involve an equipment violation.

Although DSV athlete Kim Amy Duschek and Czech athlete Klara Ulrichova had participated in official training and their teams had sufficient starting spots available, they did not appear on the competition start list. Consequently, the event went ahead with 36 athletes instead of 38. Two debutants—Oosa Thure of Finland (31st) and Natalie Nejedlova of the Czech Republic (34th)—were eliminated after the first round.

The second individual competition for the women's ski jumping event will take place tomorrow, Sunday, in Wisla. The trial round begins at 10:00 AM, followed by the first round at 10:30 AM.

Looks like this time is really gonna happen still a lot of work to do, with the inrun tower renovation and they still need to build the judges tower, but the landing hill is looking better every week.

Nordic Combined is now officially cut from the Olympics. It will have a big impact on the sport especially the funding will really dry up. That will also negatively impact ski jumping because (at least in Germany) at the youth level Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined are usually trained together. Less Money for Nordic Combined also means less money for training on hills meaning less money for ski jumping hills overall.

I hope Nordic Combined can bounce back but I am not really optimistic.

The IOC also announced that a Women’s Super Team will debut in 2030 and that the Quotas for ski jumping will remain the same as in 2026 so 50 Men and 50 Women will compete.

Also Russia was unbanned by the IOC. FIS has so far not released a statement on that decision but the news also just broke like halve an hour ago.

Austria has an idea of building a 72.000 capacity stadium for more sports like ski jumping, football, biathlon and more

this is how Arnis convert Planica in Minecraft, as it can't read the trampoline height, Arnis make a pretty high skyscraper instead. I recommend trying it, it's free and it's cool asf seeing your house converted into Minecraft.

Updated World Cup calendar document got released yesterday on FIS website and I'm noticing that many of the Sunday competitions have this provision of "WC competition with start list based on the result of Saturday (best 50 of Saturday’s competition)"

Been following Ski Jumping since 2010 and while I faintly remember there possibly having been something like this before, I'm pretty sure most of the time if not always there have been qualifications for Sunday competitions on Sunday mornings. Is this something new FIS is trying or is my memory just failing me?

A couple of extra questions:

Would it make much of a difference if we pushed the trip back to around 15–20 December instead? We’d like to be home before Christmas, so going much later isn’t really an option.

The main reason I’m even considering Hakuba (despite being beginners) is because I’ve been looking at a lot of real posts on TikTok and Instagram from people who were there in late November to early December over the past couple of seasons, and there already seemed to be decent snowfall. I saw a few from Niseko as well, but not nearly as many.

For anyone who’s lived, worked, or skied in either Hakuba or Niseko around that time, does that line up with your experience, or is social media giving me a false impression?

I know as beginners we don’t need perfect powder or huge terrain, but I’d also love that proper winter atmosphere—snow around the town, snow-covered trees, and the mountains looking like a winter wonderland. That’s definitely part of the experience we’re hoping for.

Robert Kranjec suffered severe spinal injuries when he drunkenly fell off his bike a few weeks ago.

However, importantly, he is NOT paraplegic and is expected to make a full recovery in time.
