Ski flying world championship 2000

The Vikersundbakken

The FIS Ski Flying World Championships 2000 took place from 12 to 14 February 2000 on the Vikersundbakken in Norway Vikersund instead. It was organized by the World Ski Federation FIS. It is considered the most chaotic ski flying world championship since 1972. The gold medal was won by Sven Hannawald from Germany, ahead of Andreas Widhölzl from Austria and the Finn Janne Ahonen .

competition

The training scheduled for Thursday had to be canceled due to strong winds. At Friday training, however, the jumpers found optimal conditions and they could jump. On Saturday night the wind picked up again. Nevertheless, the jury decided to start the competition. But the Russian Artur Chamidullin fell at the beginning . When the competition was still going on, some of the jumpers came together to strike. Andreas Widhölzl, Sven Hannawald, Martin Schmitt and Martin Höllwarth signed a slip of paper that said they would not start. As a result, competitor number 20, the Italian Ivan Lunardi , stopped the competition. Behind the scenes, the rest of the weekend was also discussed about the safety of the jumpers.

Sunday did not bode well either. The first interruption was between jumpers 37 and 38. When the German Sven Hannawald had to reach into the snow over a large distance, the jury decided to cancel the round and start again with a shortened run-up. Three jumpers later, after Jani Soininen from Finland fell , the jury found that the take-off table was slightly curved. What followed was another forced break. During the one-hour break, the jury retrospectively declared the interrupted first round to be a qualification. Thus, only the 15 leaders in the World Cup and the 15 best of the first run up to starting number 38 were allowed to participate in the first round. Valuable time was lost again through the reorganization of the start numbers. When it was finally possible to start, an IT problem forced the organizers to make another interruption.

When the first round could be restarted, Sven Hannawald managed the longest jump of the round with a jump of 191 meters. After only four jumpers were up, the gusty wind returned. It was canceled again and the decision was postponed to Monday.

On Monday, the conditions at Viksersundbakken were finally optimal. After three rounds, Sven Hannawald, who reached 179.5, 188 and 196.5 meters (536.8 points), was crowned world champion. Second was the Austrian Andreas Widhölzl (180.5, 179.5 and 195.0 meters / 522.6 points) ahead of the Finn Janne Ahonen (147.5, 180.5 and 190.0 meters / 484.1 points), who took bronze.
