Podcasts about Ski jumping

In der neuen Folge wagt die Flugshow mal etwas ganz Neues: Als Kontrast zu unseren regulären Ausgaben stöbern wir diesmal in den Schlagzeilen der Vergangenheit. Host Luis dreht das Glücksrad und präsentiert Ulrike Gräßler und Andreas Schuler News der letzten 15 Jahre. Sie diskutieren unter anderem Revolutionen im Material, angeregte Änderungen aus denen nie etwas geworden ist und ergründen, weshalb auch Fußball-"Kaiser" Franz Beckenbauer mal auf Skisprungseiten Schlagzeilen gemacht hat.

Yukio Kasaya, a Japanese ski jumping legend who won a gold medal at the Winter Olympic Games in Sapporo in 1972, died of ischemic heart disease at a hospital in the Hokkaido prefectural capital on Tuesday. He was 80.

David Lantz and Bill McCrillis are here as we talk about the youth ski jumping benefit raffle that the New England Ski Jumping Nordic Combined Organization is having for two paintings by Vinko Bogataj, commemorating the World Cup Ski Jumpings events held in Lake Placid.  Vinko Bogataj is a famous ski jumper who is known in the United States from ABC's Wide World Of Sports as "The agony of defeat."  He is also a fantastic painter who lives in Slovenia now.  We talk about these paintings, what the organization does for youth ski jumpers, both Bill & Dave's history in ski jumping, their collective families' history in skiing and ski jumping, both tell old stories, and we learn how one can purchase tickets to try to win these paintings. 

Ein ereignisreiches bis kurioses Wochenende in Sapporo liegt hinter uns. Julia und Luis sprechen im ersten Teil über die kleinen und großen Überraschungen auf der Schanze und das, was neben der Schanze zu den Resultaten geführt hat. Über allem schwebt aber der teaminterne Konflikt in Norwegen, in dem Trainer Alexander Stöckl im Fokus steht und den wir im zweiten Teil beleuchten - auf die Gefahr hin, dass sich der Stand der Dinge schon bald ändert.

Mit Lake Placid liegt nun die wohl puristischste Station des Weltcups hinter uns. Luis bespricht mit Ulrike Gräßler ein abwechslungsreiches Wochenende auf einer Schanze, die erneut für Überraschungen sorgte. Neben dem Premierensieg von Lovro Kos und dem Premierenpodium von Philipp Raimund ist auch das spannende und turbulente Super-Team-Springen ein Thema. Neben einigen Hörerfragen blicken wir auch auf das anstehende Karriereende von Peter Prevc, die schmerzhafte Weltcuppause für die Skispringerinnen und die Ergebnisse der Junioren-WM in Planica.

Winter in North Dakota has a history of some great experiences and traditions. During the month of January, Dakota Datebook has celebrated winter in conjunction with the Northern Plains National Heritage Area and the Sons of Norway Sverdrup Lodge, as part of the inaugural “Vinterfest” a celebration of all things winter. Today's topic is skiing.

On this episode Clay Newcomb is joined by Brent Reaves, Drew Stoecklein, Lake Pickle of OnX, Jordan Blissett of Open Season Properties, and Mike Amden. The crew discusses Clay and Brent's recent 250-mile trip down the Mississippi River and Bear Grease's most recent poaching episode. Mike gives some insight into catfishing the Mississippi River, while Brent relays the frustrations of having Clay as the Cub Pilot of their SeaArk boat. The last section highlights many of the questions raised in the Donnie Baker episode in which a 204-inch buck was illegally taken on the Fort Leonard Wood Military base in 2009. This episode is full of laughs and serious moments, and in the final story, Drew shares about his professional skiing career and how he landed a cover photo on Skiing Magazine when he jumped over a semi-truck at Loveland Pass in Colorado.  Connect with Clay and MeatEater Clay on Instagram MeatEater on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube Shop Bear Grease MerchSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Der Doppel-Weltcup in Lillehammer hatte allerhand zu bieten: Einen Premierensieg von Joséphine Pagnier und eine jubelnde Yuki Ito, die offenbar unsere Saisonvorschau sehr genau gehört hatte. Wie anscheinend auch die Norwegerinnen, die beweisen wollten, dass sie als Team kein Sorgenkind sind. Mit Expertin Uli Gräßler stellt Host Luis zudem parallelen im deutschen und österreichischen Team fest und das bei Frauen und Männern. Bei denen dominiert Stefan Kraft auch am zweiten Wochenende nach Belieben, während das DSV-Team im Kollektiv überzeugt - mit Ausnahme von Martin Hamann, auf den wir einen gesonderten Blick werfen, genauso wie auf die wenigen Nicht-DSV- und ÖSV-Athleten, die es in die Top Ten schaffen. Garniert wird die Folge von vielen Einsendungen von der Community (vor allem zum Team-Sorgenkind Polen).

Our Guest today Kent Johanssen, a word-class gymnast, Ski Jumper, and PGA Professional in Norwegian Joins us for and amazing talk! Enjoy!

Wir sind ehrlich mit euch: Wir waren schon mal schlauer nach einem Sommer-Grand-Prix. Dennoch versucht Host Luis zusammen mit Expertin Ulrike "Uli" Gräßler die wichtigsten Lehren aus den Springen in Rasnov zu ziehen. Während die Springen der Frauen fest in slowenischer, vor allem aber in der Hand von Nika Križnar waren, liefern sich bei den Herren weiterhin Vladimir Zografski und Gregor Deschwanden ein spannendes Duell um den Gesamtsieg. Welche Leistungen der Kleinen sonst ins Auge stachen und, was wir zur erneuten Verletzung von Schwedens Hoffnung Frida Westman und dem Karriereende von Daniela Iraschko-Stolz sagen, erfahrt ihr natürlich auch.

Being a ski jumper in Canada is certainly not easy: Calgary's ski jumping centre has been closed since 2018, leaving only the 2010 Olympic jumps in Whistler for the winter. Natalie Eilers grew up in Calgary and tells host Luis about her life as a ski jumper on a team that has to live in Europe to pursue its sport. She tells how she started ski jumping, why she continues despite thoughts about retiring, how she copes with long breaks from jumping and why Team Canada with world record holder and world champion Alexandria Louitt works so well. Wer Skispringen betreibt, hat es in Kanada nicht einfach: Das Schanzenzentrum von Calgary ist seit 2018 geschlossen und so bleiben im Winter nur die Olympiaschanzen von 2010 in Whistler. Natalie Eilers ist in Calgary groß geworden und erzählt Host Luis von ihrem Dasein als Skispringerin eines Teams, das in Europa leben muss, um seinem Sport nachzugehen. Sie berichtet, wie sie mit dem Skispringen angefangen hat, warum sie trotz Rücktrittsgedanken weitermacht, wie sie lange Sprungpausen übersteht und warum das Team Kanada mit Weltrekordhalterin und Weltmeisterin Alexandria Louitt zu gut funktioniert.

The Big Nansen Ski JumpRegion: Berlin, The Great North WoodsThe Nansen Ski Club was founded in 1872 and is one of the oldest ski clubs in the United States. The club is named after Fridtjof Nansen, a Norwegian explorer, scientist, and humanitarian. Between 1936-1938, the Big Nansen was the world's tallest ski jump and was the site of the first ever ski jumping Olympic trials in 1938 and the FIS World Championships in 1939 which attracted more than 25,000 spectators who traveled to the Great North Woods navigating small windy backroads and snow trains. More than 87 radio stations broadcasted the event live. The jump eventually hosted four U.S. National Ski Jumping Championships, a North American Championship, Eastern Championships, and numerous international competitions before holding its last event in March of 1985.In 2017, former World Champion ski jumper Sarah Hendrickson, who has family in Plymouth, NH, decided to join the effort to revive the Big Nansen. She convinced her sponsor, Red Bull Energy Drink, to re-deck the jump for one “Last Leap.” On the morning of March 4th, 2017, Hendrickson launched off of the Big Nansen, symbolizing the beginning of a new era for the jump. Even now, with restorative efforts, enthusiasts say the jump is one of the scariest they've ever experienced—it sways with the wind!Read more about Hendrickson's jumpIn this episode of the 603podcast, Dan Egan sits down with guest Scott Halvorson to discuss the history and culture of the Big Nansen Ski Jump. Scott Halvorson is a member and the treasurer of the Friends of the Nansen Ski Jump Committee. He is also the grandson of Alf Halvorson, who oversaw construction of the jump back in 1937-38. Tune in for more on the Big Nansen and ski jumping in New Hampshire. Mad River Coffee is located at Exit 28 off Highway 93 in Campton, NH.

Lange genug hat die FIS uns warten lassen, nun kennen wir es endlich - das neue Skisprung-Reglement. Eine Woche vor dem Start des Sommer-Grand-Prix stellt euch Host Luis gemeinsam mit dem Schweizer Ex-Skispringer Andreas Schuler alles Wissenswerte zu Preisgeldern, Wettkämpfen und Material vor. Während sie gemeinsam Sinn (und Unsinn) der Änderungen ergründen und Hörerfragen beantworten, liefert Andreas spannende Einblicke aus seiner aktiven Zeit und erklärt, was gutes Material auszeichnet und welchen Einfluss es auf den Sprung hat.

Die Flugshow begrüßt ihren ersten Gast im Sommer 2023! Marit Stub Nybelius vereint so viele Perspektiven im Skispringen wie sonst kaum jemand: Die Schwedin ist Funktionärin, TV-Kommentatorin und FIS-Kampfrichterin. Noch dazu spricht sie Deutsch und ist daher die perfekte Gesprächspartnerin für unser erstes Sommer-Interview. Mit Host Luis spricht sie über das Skispringen in kleineren Nationen und wie sie mit vielen weiteren Aktivisten hilft, diese näher an die Weltspitze zu bringen. Natürlich ist auch ein detaillierter Blick auf das Skispringen in Marits Heimatland Schweden mit Anekdoten von V-Stil-Pionier Jan Boklöv und Neuigkeiten von Schwedens aktueller Skisprung-Hoffnung Frida Westman. Auch dank einer Hörerfragen geht es im letzten Teil auch um Marits Tätigkeit als Kampfrichterin. Dort berichtet sie, wie ein Arbeitstag an der Schanze für sie aussieht, welche Kuriositäten sie schon erlebt hat und was sie von Änderungsvorschlägen hält. Viel Spaß mit diesem Talk!

Der Skisprung-Sommer hat kaum begonnen, da liegt das erste Großereignis schon wieder hinter uns: Gemeinsam mit Expertin Ulrike "Uli" Gräßler blickt Host Luis auf die European Games 2023 zurück, bei denen die Skisprung-Wettbewerbe in Zakopane stattfanden. Neben den Medaillengewinnern, die mehrheitlich aus Österreich kamen, sprechen sie auch über die Erfolge kleinerer Nationen. Neben zahlreichen Hörerfragen geht es aber natürlich auch um den Stellenwert des Events.

Teil 1 von 3 bei der Raw-Air 2023 ist absolviert. Unter den Augen des norwegischen Königshauses sprangen Stefan Kraft und Ema Klinec am legendären Holmenkollen zur Gesamtführung der härtesten Skisprung-Tour unserer Zeit. Bei den Frauen richten sich unsere Blicke aber aus gegebenem Anlass schon Richtung der Premiere des Skifliegens am Wochenende in Vikersund, wo Luis auch vor Ort sein wird. Bei den Herren der Zunft sind er und Tobi sich einig: Das deutsche Ergebnis ist nicht so verkehrt, wie es manche Presseagenturen reden wollen und die Raw-Air noch lange nicht vorentschieden.

Acht vollgepackte und aufregende WM-Tage liegen hinter den Skispringerinnen und damit auch der Flugshow-Redaktion. Wie schon in Oberstdorf vor zwei Jahren gab es nun auch in Planica den krönenden Abschluss mit dem Einzel auf der Großschanze, wo die Kanadierin Alexandria Loutitt Geschichte schrieb. Sie wurde als erste Skispringerin überhaupt in ein und demselben Jahr Junioren- und Senioren-Weltmeisterin. Auch Silbermedaillengewinnerin Maren Lundby schrieb mit WM-Medaille Nummer 10 Skisprung- und ein großes Stück persönliche Geschichte, ebenso wie Katharina Althaus, die auch im vierten Wettbewerb eine Medaille holte. Angesichts sieben Gate-Wechseln im ersten Durchgang und wenig einheitlicher Kampfrichternoten müssen Expertin Ulrike "Uli" Gräßler und Host Luis auch über die Jury- und Kampfrichterleistungen sprechen, ziehen abseits davon aber ein positives Fazit, was die WM der Damen angeht.

Nach fast 20 Jahren Pause kehrte der Herren-Weltcup zurück in die USA. In Lake Placid gab es gleich eine doppelte Premiere: Andreas Wellinger sorgte für den ersten DSV-Sieg und das Super-Team-Format ging erstmals über die Bühne. Mit Expertin Ulrike "Uli" Gräßler blickt unser Host Luis auf ein außergewöhnliches Wochenende zurück und ergründet dabei verschiedene Wege zum Erfolg. Einen strikten Weg zum Erfolg gab es derweil für die Österreicherinnen in Person von Eva Pinkelnig und Chiara Kreuzer, die Heimsiege in Hinzenbach bejubeln durften. Wer sonst konstant (inkonstant) ist, welche Schrecksekunde es gab und welche Erwartungen wir an das kommende Wochenende in Rasnov haben, hört ihr ebenso.

Two years ago Tara Geraghty-Moats was the number one women's nordic combined skier in the world when she made the call to return to her biathlon roots. Today, she's making her way through the IBU Cup, World Cup and now World Championships in Oberhof. The Vermont native who trains with Craftsbury Green tells her story of biathlon to ski jumping to nordic combined and back to biathlon on Heartbeat.

An diesem Wochenende wurde es uns wirklich warm ums Herz - und das schon am Freitag: Erst gewann Alexandria Loutitt als erste Kanadierin ein Weltcupspringen in Zao, ein paar Stunden später dann ihr Freund Daniel Tschofenig die Qualifikation in Zakopane. Aber nicht nur Love was in the Air, sondern auch die Hechtsuppe. So wurde der Einzel-Wettkampf am Sonntag zur Lotterie, nachdem das Teamspringen am Samstag noch so vor Spannung strotzte. Das ist genauso großes Thema in unserem Rückblick wie die Weltcup-Premiere des Super-Team, der wir ein positives Zeugnis ausstellen. Gleiches gilt auch für die spannenden Einzelspringen in Zao, die sinnbildlich für den Aufschwung des Damen-Skispringens stehen.

Kaum zu glauben, aber wahr: Für die Flugshow war der Damen-Weltcup in Sapporo der erste, der nicht in Europa stattfand. Entsprechend neugierig fragt unser Host Luis Expertin Ulrike "Uli" Gräßler, was dieser besondere Weltcup mit den Springerinnen macht. Das sportliche Geschehen diktieren allen voran Katharina Althaus, Silje Opseth, Ema Klinec und Eva Pinkelnig, aber auch über Team Kanada lohnt es sich mal wieder zu reden. Die Adlerin der Woche und der Ausblick auf Teil 2 des "Japanuary" nächste Woche in Zao runden diese Folge ab.

Content warning: This episodes contains discussions of eating disorders. During the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, our listeners had a ton of questions about ski jumping (particularly with that suit controversy). We talked with Blake Hughes, former USA Nordic Women's Ski Jumping Team Director and Head Coach of USA Nordic Sport, to sort it all out. From ice tracks to ski suit tailors to thoughts on the movie "Eddie the Eagle," this interview will definitely make you watch ski jumping in a different way.

Ski jumping at the Olympics disqualified athletes over their uniforms. Ryan Reynolds celebrates his one year anniversary with Wrexham-AFC. Shaq's Fun House Super Bowl party looks like the place to be this weekend.

This mini-episode, Kristen is armed with plenty of follow-up research and fun facts! Our hosts chat about gender in Olympic sports, the sneaky advantage shared by left-handed athletes, and the key to life...or something.

Let's get you back in the zone of Ski Jumping as we inch closer to the Beijing Olympics by speaking with Canadian Ski Jumper Abigail Strate about her career and her amazing sport! We find out from Abi about her pathway into ski jumping and why she is so addicted to the sport that she loves. We also find out what it was like growing up without being able to experience the usual high school life most teenagers did and why going to Europe for most of her school year always ended up being more fun. Added to this we find out why she is tempted to come to Australia to help start up a ski jumping program and just why a volleyball and soccer ball are helpful to her when it comes to her sport. It's a fascinating and insightful chat you won't want to miss!

It's a return to ski jumping today as we sit down and chat with upcoming American ski jumper Logan Sankey about the incredible sport and learn more about her chances to compete in Beijing! We find out just why she switched from Alpine Skiing to Ski Jumping and how a crossover between the two sports helped her along the way. We also learn more about the fear aspect of the sport and how that is able to be used to her advantage. Added to this we find out just what path she will need to take to get her to Beijing and just how good she is at naming capital cities. It's a fun chat that you will love, so get to listening!

An exciting day today on the show as we bring you your first ever taste of Ski Jumping by speaking with Canadian Ale Loutitt about the sport ahead of her Olympic debut in Beijing! We find out just how she got into the sport and her rapid rise through the ranks that are leading her to make her Olympic debut in 2022. We also find out more about the technicalities around the sport, including some of the very unique and odd rules that exist in ski jumping. Added to this we find out just why she was too young to try out for Pyeongchang, and the unique reason why she wasn't able to compete at the Youth Olympics in 2020. It's a fascinating, fun and informative chat that you won't want to miss!

Hello again, Everyone! In this week's episode of the show, we talk about Sports in the In Death World! This was actually a really fun topic, even for someone like AJ who doesn't sports! We start out discussing the Olympics in the future and what games would Eve and Roarke go see if they attended the games in 2020/2022/2024. For winter sports, we decided Eve and Roarke would stick to downhill Skiing, Ski Jumping, Snowboarding, the Biathalon and those sorts of snow sports. But we don't think they would be Ice Skating people or Curling, though we would love to see Eve watching curling and trying to figure out what the hell kind of sport is that? For summer sports, we generally agreed that any combat/fighting sports like boxing or karate would be a given, as well as Baseball, Basketball, and probably Rugby and Soccer. And of course any of the shooting sports or Archery. Swimming and Diving might also be on their itinerary. Jen thinks they would go see Gymnastics, and AJ thinks they would like Fencing. Roarke, being the perv that he is would convince Eve to watch Women's Beach Volleyball. We then talk about Arena Ball vs Football, and have a little off topic discussion about head injuries in Football. Last we talk about Eve's main sport, Baseball and the many baseball references in this series. As a bonus, AJ mentions an unconventional Summerset fancasting pick, and we're making somewhat of a game out of it. See the attached photo and let us know who you think it might be! Hope you enjoy this Episode!

Sean is a 21 year old savage ski racer, ski jumper, and ski instructor. Sean did a wonderful job taking us into his world of ski jumping which he competed in at the national level and trained internationally. He attended the powerhouse ski jumping high school in the nation. Most of his competition was done from 65 m towers where jumpers reached speeds of 75 mph in a matter of seconds, but he has also jumped 90 and 120 m towers. Sean's message- wear a helmet on the mountain!! Thanks for joining the show Sean and thank you for the cool lesson in ski jumping! Enjoy
