Ski jumping: star-saw Holmenkollen |  GP

Ski jumping: star-saw Holmenkollen | GP

When you see photos of Norway’s Holmenkollen, it’s probably the graceful ski jump that catches your eye. Built in 1892 – but renovated several times since then – the hill is one of Norway’s most visited tourist attractions.

Yesterday, the World Cup was held on the historical slope, which, however, was not very liked by the Polish jumper Kamil Stosch.

The three-time Olympic gold medalist finished in 19th place, and after the competition saw the ski jump with his ankles down.

– This hill is simply tragic, it must be blown up. And I like to set explosives. I think the hopes are really leveled. Today I deserved more than 19th place and I’m very disappointed with what happened, he says Polish Eurosport according to Sportbladet.

Kamil Stoch around Holmenkollen: No ski jump

There are “holes in the air,” Dagbladet told the Norwegian, which can be compared to turbulence on a plane. Then the players feel a certain resistance in the air, which sometimes disappears.

– No, this is not a ski jump. This is something… I don’t really know what to say. It’s beautiful, but there are many holes in the air. When conditions get bad, it’s hard to jump, Stoch tells Dagbladet.
