Pa je za nami prva tekma v okviru svetovnega prvenstva v poletih v norveškem Vikersundu.

Žal pa je bila tekma 5 skakalcev pred koncem prekinjena zaradi premočnega vetra, ki je nagajal skakalcem skozi celo tekmo.
Unfortunatelly they canceled it before the last 5 ski jumpers could jump, because of very strong wind.

Tako smo lahko videli nekaj odličnih poletov, osebnih rekordov, državnih rekordov in nekaj bolj ali manj poraznih "poletov".
So we could see some great ski flyings, some personal bests, national records and some very poor jumps.

Pred skokom Martina Kocha so tekmo prekinili zaradi premočnega vetra. Tako je na vrhu ostalo še najboljših 5 letalcev na svetu. Žal pa njihovih poletov nismo videli, kljub temu da so poskušali s prestavljanjem tekme počakati na ugodne razmere.
Before the jump of Martin Koch they canceled the competition becouse of the wind. There were just the best 5 jumpers at the top. We couldn`t see their jumps, even though they were trying to continue the competition.

Sedaj lahko le upamo, da bo jutri veter bolj ugoden za polete in bodo lahko izvedli tekmo. Govori se, da bodo poskušali izpeljati kar tri serije.
Now we can only hope that the weather will be better tomorrow. They said they will try to make 3 series tomorrow.

Med skakalci so bili tudi trije naši: Jure Šinkovec, Jurij Tepeš in Robert Kranjec.
Jurij Tepeš je z izjemnim poletom 230,5 m dosegel osebni rekord. Robert Kranjec pa je bil med tistimi petimi skakalci, ki so ostali na vrhu letalnice.
There were also 3 of our jumpers: Jure Šinkovec, Jurij Tepeš in Robert Kranjec. Jurij Tepeš reached his personal best with a jump of 230,5 m. Robert Kranjec was one of those 5 jumpers who didn't have the chance to do the jump.

Razočarani smo bili lahko nad skoki Romørena, ki ni imel sreče z vetrom, Schlierenzauerja in Stocha, ki pa je bil sam kriv za slab skok.
I was dissapointed with jumps of Romøren, who had bad wind, Schlierenzauer and Stoch who did a bad jump.

Presenetil je Norvežan Rune Velta, ki je dosegel daljavo dneva in bil pred prekinitvijo na drugem mestu. Vodilni je bil Nemec Severin Freund.
I was surprised by a jump of Rune Velta, who had the longest jump and was, before the competition was canceled, second. First was Severin Freund.
