This hill looks a bit different than other hills, looks a bit tricky.

I want to quest the wind compensation placement on the hill. Somehow it looked a bit weird.

I did not quite understood how it was placed, but think not on the right spots.

The hills looks nice and i think they will have a ok World Championships next year.

It wil be nice also to hear how the normal hill is, but for this we will know this coming weekend, when CoC comps will take place there.

Also one thing i clearly saw, during this competition, is that there is some suits who seems way too big, but when they want they are allowed to use them, and surely they are.

It seems that the equipment control have taken a break. Fore sure they should have been disqualified, but that will newer happen.

The competition was won by the German Severin Freund with to very good jumps, and in the last one i cant understand why he did not get some 20 in style.

Prevc and Kasai was the 2 next on podium, Stoch which made one good jump (final jump) finished 4th.

We also saw 2 Norwegians sharing the 6th place, that is fore sure a good result for Fannemel, but i think Bardal is not happy with that, he probably wanted to be on the podium.

All in all this was a ok competition with strange windcomp.

Next race will be in Lahti. Usually there is always the wind as problem there, but let's hope not this weekend.
