With Ruka the worldcup was opened season with personal and team's competitions.
In the team's competitions the brightest medallions were taken away before our noses. The winners were the Norwegians and Austrians. As a team we were the third with: Hautamäki, Olli, Lappi and Mr. Konicaminolta (Ahonen).
Nevertheless, we are contented somewhat with the result...
And then the single competitions... There one could be astonished really! The competitions would have had very good basic conditions, but these were broken by partly very hectically felled decision of the jury.
The first round was carried out at too high speed, this is clear. If one had laid the hatch one to two with the second round down, one could have carried out the competition without problems, but …
Nevertheless, the competition management has met an incomprehensible decision and has sawed off the jump hill half a metre shorter. This information came not even through in all jumpers, but such a thing is secondary. We jump only under it!
So much of it …
For me the start was not optimum, because I have reached only the place 14. The positives at the fact are that I was better, nevertheless, 30 ranks than the last year. From here it goes to wide direction for new adventures!
We are at the moment already in Trondheim, in Norway and here becomes on the week-end in two single competitions jumped again.
So a new rain mite in the hook and a good Independence Day for Finland and for you Finns and Finns!!!

Jannes manager Jukka adds:
It has been a new very bad sporty element in the international ski jump circus: Equal rights.
The new ski jumps are planned thus and constructed old so anew that the ski jumpers, they are physical and are not very good from the skill, jump almost equally far like the good jumpers. The best cannot jump with full power because they recognise the injury risk.
The speeds are so high that the jumpers, the really jump strength have, jump up in such a way that it is not possible any more for the landings technically and certainly properly enough to carry out. The competitions with Ruka would have had to be arranged immediately with the first round when the first jump with 135 became jumped. Then one would have had to begin 1-2 hatches lower. Only superluck has prevented that the best jumpers have not injured themselves.
With the ski jumping any more the sportiness does not win!
