Four Hills Tournament. Third attempt in Oberstdorf will not – Sport.pl

Trial in Oberstdorf started at 16.30. Competition hour later. Relation With Czuba and live in Sport.pl

The outlook for this afternoon in Oberstdorf constantly changing. Were bad, but the wind begins to subside. Bad weather is supposed to be a Tuesday, but that’s irrelevant. According to our information, the coaches and the athletes were given information that tonight they have to move to Ga-Pa, regardless of whether you can play the contest or not. If it failed, it would be a huge blow to Oberstdorf: Sunday it was the only tournament of cities where we never had even a contest to translate the next day, not to mention the appeal. There were embarrassing competitions, even in 2011, when the race went on 3.5 hours, but always somehow managed to finish it. And in Ga-Pa had to be postponed once competition for the day (in 1979), in Innsbruck cancel and move to Bischofshofen and play there two competitions (in 2008, following the troubles at the hill in Innsbruck stood windshield), and in 1956 Bischofshofen ran out of snow and had to finish the tournament a few days later in a nearby Hallein. And only in that tournament was 2008 years tournament three jumps. Tournament of barely three competitions did not happen ever again.

Will compensation

Walter Hofer said in an interview for Sport.pl that when trying to play Sunday’s contest, “it was necessary to coordinate six, seven, eight factors”. And determination of the organizers from Oberstdorf (ie Skiclubu Oberstdorf) was one of the most important. It is known that the organizers of the tournament cities compete with each other, who will fall the most, this competition is a great advertisement of their tourist attractions. Oberstdorf is particularly sensitive to this point. And in this year’s tournament has invested very much. When in Europe by autumn weather lacked snow in Oberstdorf spent a lot of money to produce 3,000 cubic meters of material. With the help of the Finnish specialist who is able to produce artificial snow even at plus 10 degrees. Everything is done to the television you could not see the green spots, because it would deter tourists planning a winter holidays. When the organizers of the Ga-Pa, also deprived of snow, they asked if he could borrow some could be, they heard that, unfortunately, not this year. Until the Friday before playing snow showered Germany. Too late for Oberstdorf, just in time for the Ga-Pa. The greater determination Skiclubu Oberstdorf to play competitions. Although the organizers are insured against cancellation, will get compensation, but the impression counts.

Voice jumpers least count

Sometimes I forget about the role of the organizers, the entire responsibility shifting to Walter Hofer, who gives a face to this confusion. He must satisfy and hosts, and selling TV rights company Infront and the same TV. And for them, too advertisement issued by przedłużanym indefinitely and competition nierozegranym not have the same value as when everything is done according to plan. Before the FIS competitions and determine the most important infront of televisions showing spikes (German, Austrian, Polish, Norwegian), how long – more or less – you can try to play the competition, how flexible is the season schedule. And then it all depends mainly on the weather. And indeed, the voice of athletes counts in all the least. But they also do not complain the loudest confusion after Sunday.

Snow still whizzing

The competition probably will However, carried out on Monday. – There are gusts up to 2 m s, turns especially on the threshold, and the snow gate. These are small bars, but there are a lot. After all, the weather is much better than on Sunday and should jump – from Oberstdorf correspondent reported Sport.pl Radoslaw Leniarski.
