Start of the comp season!

Category: News

The days here in Wisla has been good. We jumped in Sczcyrk on monday. First time for me. And started jumping in Wisla yesterday. We also found out that if it rains quite heavily, I gain 800 grams during a session! Jumping has not been perfect. Actually quite far from it, but getting better all the time. And today, I managed to get in two good jumps. I was going so high that the reflexes from last weeks skydiving experience almost kicked in with checking the altimeter and throwing the pilot! Well i didn’t, but had to smile when I landed!

After the physical session today, Tom, and I don’t know how they started talking about it, figured out a totally new race walking technique. It would revolutionize the world of race walking. So we challenged him to beat Bardal in a short race. See for yourself..

Lets just say that Bardal keeps the yellow bib! Tomorrow its quali for the SGP comps here in Wisla. And after that they will announce the team! Lets see how things go. But I brought my camera just in case I have to be a tourist!

Fingers crossed!

    Love the video! Glad you guys are enjoying Wisla before the comp even started. Hopefully you can repeat the good jumps and leave those others behind. :)

    btw I really enjoy you posting more updates again!

    I would like you to use your camera tomorrow – because I really like to watch funny and cool videos like this one you posted – but only after you qualified yourself in the team. ;)

    PS: I assume Tom couldn’t qualify himself for the Olympics with this kind of technique for race walking. We should be happy, hopefully he would stick to ski jumping :)
