Uspelo mi je pisati skakalcu, ki je bil pripravljen odgovoriti na par kratkih vprašanj za blog. :))
I wrote to ski jumper who was ready to answer a few of my questions for blog. :))
To je Kalle Keituri.
It is Kalle Keituri.

Kalle je finski smučarski skakalec. Rojen je 25. 4. 1984 v finskem Lahtiju.
Kalle is Finnish ski jumper. He was born 25. 4. 1984 in Finland - Lahti.
Njegovi začetki v svetovnem prvenstvu segajo v leto 2002. Začel je prav v Lahtiju.
He started competing in world cup in 2002 in Lahti.
Pa poglejmo, kaj mi je povedal. :)
So lets see what he told me. :)

- Kot smučarski skakalec veliko potuješ. Kako to vpliva na tvoje privatno življenje?
Kakšno privatno življenje!? ;-)

-          As a ski jumper you travel a lot. How does that affect to your private life?

What private life!? ;-)


- Kaj je najboljša stvar, če si smučarski skakalec?

Najboljše je to, da mislim še o čem drugem kot samo o šoli/službi, kar je pravzaprav dobro za tvoje misli.

-          What is (for you) the best thing about being a ski jumper?

It makes me thinking of something else than school/works, which is basically quite good for your mind.


- Kaj pa najslabša stvar?

Stres, stres in stres. To je nekaj, s čimer se smučarski skakalec srečuje vsakodnevno. Če slabo skočiš, potem se ti zdi vse v tvojem življenju slabo. Če skočiš dobro, se ti zdi vse super in se je zelo lahko nasmehniti. :)

-          What about the worst thing?

Stress, stress and stress! That's what belongs to ski jumpers daily life. If you jump bad, everything in your life feels bad. If you jump well, everything feels super cool and it's quite easy to smile. :)  


- Katera je tvoja najljubša skakalnica in zakaj?

Oberstdorf. Skakalnica je pri pogojih za trening verjetno najboljša na svetu.

-          Which is your favorite ski jumping hill and why?

Oberstdorf. Training facilities and the hills are probably the best in the world.


- Kaj ti je bolj všeč: smučarski skoki ali smučarski poleti?

Smučarski skoki. Smučarski poleti so zgubili svojo vrednost, saj je danes absolutno preveč smučarskih poletov med sezono.

-          Do you prefer ski jumping of ski flying?

Ski jumping. Ski flying has already lost its value because nowadays there is absolutely too many ski flying competitions during the season.


- Ali je kakšen način, da opišeš občutke med smučarskim skokom?

Ja. Vzemi svoje smuči in pojdi skočit!

-          Is there any way to express the feeling during jumping?

Yes, take your skis and go to jump!


- Za konec pa me še zanima, kaj si si kot otrok želel postati - si imel tipične otroške želje postati astronavt ali pilot, ali si si že takrat želel postati smučarski skakalec?

Želel sem postati policist ali gasilec kot vsak otrok, vendar je potem nekaj šlo narobe in postal sem skakalec. :) Ampak biti skakalec ni poklic (vsaj na Finskem ne) in zato sem začel s študijem lansko jesen za sanjsko službo vsakega moškega - postati oblikovalec avtomobilov! :)

-          For the end can your tell us what did you imagine to do in life as a child - did you have any typical wishes to become an astronaut or a pilot, or was ski jumping your wish even back then?

Yes, I wanted to be police or fireman like every other child, but then something went wrong and I wanted to be ski jumper. :) But ski jumper is not any profession (at least in Finland) and that's why I started to study last autumn for real dream of every boy and man - to become a car designer! :)

Še enkrat bi se rada zahvalila Kalletu, ker si je vzel čas in odgovoril na moja vprašanja.

Once again I would like to thank Kalle for taking time and answering my questions.

Upam, da vam je všeč moj prvi intervju in upam, da jih bo sledilo še kaj več. :))

Hope you like my first interview and I hope there will be a lot more of those. :))
