Yes but The TV-transmission was a disaster😶!

[@dancolombo6050]

Lack of pure telemark.

[@tuomoraty1992]

Matti had perfect telemark landing, but in his best years... compared to other jumpers, he jumped way too far. Telemark was too risky, he had to 'cheat' a bit for his own safety. Many times he also took his jumps down too early, because he would've flown dangerously far down the slope.
