Villach, Austria

 It has felt great when the " old person " might jump again on the stage. I have had the feeling that I am not able to do it any more!

 I have stood on the stage the last spot with the world cup to competitions in Zakopane nearly two years ago. "Morgi" is at the moment a clear favorite and his assurance is so big that it is difficult to the boys to defeat. He has won four competitions successively. On the other hand, one knows that it will be sometime an end with the "victory pipe". I have also had this pipe!

 I do not give yet my best and this certainty motivates me in the direction of Four Hills Touranment.

 I have won the Four Hills Touranment four spots, equally often like Jens Weissflog. Nevertheless, at the moment it is to be spoken too early about the fifth, historical victory.

 There are one more pair of competitions before the tour. I will concentrate only on these competitions. The Four Hills Touranment is an amusing history every spot!

Greetings Janne

Knee injury prevents Janne Ahonen from taking part in Olympic team event

”My leg still hurts like hell, there’s no denying it. We have reached the decision that I will not jump”, Ahonen told Helsingin Sanomat. Finnish team physician Harri Hakkarainen still had hopes after Saturday’s MRI scan that Ahonen might be able to continue his participation in the Games.
“For me it was clear more or less from the beginning that with an injured knee one has no business going to the hill, let alone reap any success. Clowning around in the Olympic Games serves no purpose”, Ahonen said.
Ahonen, a five-time World Champion, hurt his left knee when he failed the landing of his 128.5-metre jump during the Saturday trial round for the large hill individual event.
Ahonen, who is one of the most successful ski-jumpers of all time, has never succeeded in securing an Olympic gold medal. With only two team silvers on his Olympic CV, Ahonen decided to take part in the individual large hill in his fifth Olympic Games, but pulled out after the first round.
“In retrospect I should not have taken part even in the first round”, Ahonen commented.
“The injury itself is what worries me. I failed a competition but that is normal. It is part of the sport. I just hope the trauma will not affect too many of the remaining competitions this season.”
