So this was it, my first ski jumping competition. What a day it was! It's been raining 80% of the time which really sucked but the competition was so much fun! 😃 I swear time passes by so much faster than in front of the TV. You blink and you've missed something.
I arrived after the girls's trial round. Started the comp with a shock after young Swiss girl had a bad fall but turned out she wasn't injured too badly. 🙏 Seeing the girls jump twice and the boys jump 3 times, that was literally 2 competition days squished into one. Also, there were like 100 podium ceremonies today. 😅
You can get such a close look at the jumpers village and it feels like a giant "Where's Waldo?" picture or bee hive where so much stuff is going on, you don't know where to put your eyes first.
I didn't plan on taking pics with the guys but in the end I went closer to the fence to see the ceremony better and there they were so I simply waited in line with everyone else and got some pics with my faves and couldn't be happier. 🥳🥰
Finished the day with some time spent at the after show party which was pretty cool but since it was a long day out in the cold and me really tired, I decided to go home soon.
I'm very happy with my first sj comp experience but honestly, how do you guys do that with minus degrees in winter?! 🥶😄
