A bit of WCHS-Skijumping from Liberec

Well of course you need to get a lil update from the World Championships in Liberec (and no, I'm not there, but I'm quite pleased with my diamond-ring instead :P). The trainings today on the normal hill.

So here are my thoughts: I think that the normal hill is a hard hill for the World Cup jumpers, because they are used to jump only on the big hills. Jossan wrote that she thinks that Morgi's form is totally gone, which I can't understand 'cause the guy was 2nd in both of the training rounds. Wuff and Eggi jumped really well too. I think that Hocke can be a threat because of his starts in the CoC, he is used to jump on smaller hills. Schlieri didn't show great jumps, but if I know the guy right, he saves it for the competition. I mean who remembers the WCHS in Oberstdorf? Schlieri's 114, then like 160, 180 meters and then fabulous jumping and double world champion. Everyone put their card on Mascht then, I didn't, I knew the kiddo (sorry babe, but I like to call people kiddos :P) could make it and he did.

Amazing skijumper and athlete is what he is, but will he manage it on the normal hill? Well, I'll just say that I think he will do everything to do it and I wish him all the best, I know he wants to take it all home, 3 medals (normal, large, team) and the general classification in the end. But enought talking about Schlieri.

Well, it will be interesting. And I'm so happy for Mackenzie, I hope he will manage to take those jumps from training to the competition :) But of course good luck to all you guys, especially the bold ones ;)
