@@8steelheart and if you holding the jump there is lower chance to land properly than when not holdnig it coz his skis went almost straight up before he landed if u look closely at the replay so he shouldn't hold it and would land normally i guess
And probably a severely injured WR holder. The current WR is already near/at the upper limit when it comes to what an athletes body can endure without risking injury, at least with how the slopes are built. This amount of thermic winds on a ski flying hill could easily be deadly.
Planica is a ski flying hill, though. It’s explicitely made to allow jumps well past 200m. Not to mention: Planica's hill record is 252m, with the unofficial longest jump at 253,5m, but Schlierenzauer didn‘t stick the landing. And the official WR is 253.5m by Stefan Kraft, achieved in Vikersund.
@@AniNeferti yeah but these were not that extraordinary even. Imagine ski flying with a decent gate at 4m/s, this would have been more extreme than Bartol, who did even completely go out of the jump and was WR back then
Willingen has always been a dangerous hill and after the first time I've been there myself, being a prejumper, I actually criticized this hill to be way too flat on the outrun. That was in 2007. As you can see, they didn't care at all.
Indeed but the course setter should have made a better call on where to drop from to ensure the conditions currently on the field were going to keep the jumpers safe imo. If the drop done is done from a lower point then the max speed would be lower and does the distance etc
@@theclimbingchef Alberta Skijumps were shut down because it was too expensive to keep them "alive" if no Canadian is ever gonna be in the Top 10 or a Grand Prix wil take place there.
As someone who doesn’t really know ski jumping but does know and understand physics you don’t want to be landing on the flat part at the bottom… this guy bailed out/landed just in time to save himself from some very very serious injuries 🙀
As a Physicist I can tell you, that with a slightly longer jump the curvature of the earth would have provided enough slope to continue. We Physicists call this an Orbit.
Anyone remember Janne Ahonen landing successfully that 155,5m jump at the same hill? It was declared 152m because official measurement system didn't go so far down the hill.
No, but I clearly remember Janne doing the 240m + crash like this, at Planica right after Romoeren landed 239m. That was the record for many years till they built the Norwegian ski flying hill. Might still be the absolute record at Planica, and god dammit you couldn't have landed more than 240 without serious injury. That Janne 240 will always be my favourite long jump - The best jumps compared to competition was Hannawald during his grand slam.
Growing up in the 60's watching ski jumping, nothing like this was ever seen. If he was wearing a wing suit he would have flown over the crowd into the parking lot. 😀
This, Kobayashi's over 150 in Sapporo in 2018, Stoch's 148,5 in Sapporo (perhaps his best which is quite something), Małysz's 151,5 on this same hill in 2001, Freund's amazing Falun 2015 143 m fall, Bartol's fall in Planica after that 252 metre flight, Vassiliev doing 254 in Vikersund and this thing- those are, I guess, the sickest jumps in modern ski jumping history. Perhaps also Ahonen and Romoeren during the legendary Planica 2005 competiton.
You're proud because you randomly got born in a specific place without any of your own doing and because some guy from close to you was lucky to get strong winds without your own doing? That's so sad man! Be proud of your own achievements, not your birth lottery!
Seriously! By the end of the video I completely forgot that they weren’t speaking english. I just tuned them out as background noise like I usually do with english speaking sportscasters
This is the first time in my life I see a ski jumper trying to Not jump any further. What an awesome jump! Most have been an amazing feeling to soar like this, until the point when life saving urgency had to be applied.. ;)
I remember when Adam Małysz once jumped over 150 and then it was something impossible and here another border breaks, I think that in a few dozen years they will convert this hill into a mammoth hill... On mammoth hills I guess it's also a matter of time that in 50 years there will be jumps over 300 meters.
Also Malysz's Jump was before modernizing the Hills (its bigger now than back then). Funny thing was that Małysz Jump was that long that there werent judges beside Hill on that distance xD reportedly they misjudge distance by up to 2 metres. That jump was MASSIVE
Yuki Ito was insane too. And shes a girl so big respect. Can only imagine though how crazy long Granerud would have jumped if he had same conditions. Hes on another level as a jumper and the way he generates pressure under his skis is different from any other jumper.

I don’t know if he’s was given the landing but he should as I noticed that the landing area which he basically made history was not clear of Green foliage which ended him not able to have a smooth landing,I rest my case panel but to the world he made it utterly amazing buddy 🎉💫
Green foliage on the snow didn't do anything to his landing. He landed on the flat which is why he went down. Another 3 or 4 meters and it would have been much worse.
You know, I was just thinking that suit seemed a little long in the crotch area . . . I mean that has to have some sort of effect and I'm willing to take the "It's a positive effect" side of this bet . . .
I don't really understand the aerodynamics of this sport, but wouldn't a loose fitting / baggy suit increase air resistance? And thus decrease the distance traveled by the jumper?
@@perrymasonxix5954 I am quite sure loose and baggy would increase resistance. But his suit is so long in the crotch area that my belief is he is getting extra lift that would not otherwise be available to him. I think it might even be considerable . . .

He had to have known pretty early, he was going to flat. Wonder if he poo'ed his suit a little. I might have in these circumstances!! Awesome to see him ski away, relatively unscathed.👏👏👏💪 Bet the event staff and/or his coaches will keep better track of tail winds next time.🤔
Wow. If he hasn't touched down at that point he would have had to land on a flat surface. Extremely Dangerous. But by doing so he had a less than stellar landing. But for length of flight, that will be hard to beat.
He was jumping in the competition today and was fairly decent, so he should be fine. seens like he hurt his knee a little bit though (not bad enough he couldnt jump apparently).
