Ski jumping Continental Cup
The Ski Jumping Continental Cup , abbreviated to COC , formerly also the Intercontinental Cup , is a series of competitions in ski jumping organized by the World Ski Association FIS every year from the winter of 1991/92 . It followed the European Ski Jumping Cup . For the first two years, the series was carried out as a European Cup / Continental Cup with two names. The COC is often incorrectly referred to as the B World Cup , probably based on the Nordic Combined World Cup , in which athletes move up and down between A and B World Cup.
For both men and women, the Continental Cup is the second highest competition class, right after the World Cup . Younger jumpers usually compete here in order to secure a place in the World Cup team in their country. Some jumpers switch back and forth between the COC and the World Cup several times in a season, so that there is often no continuous participation in the Continental Cup, which is why its overall winner does not necessarily have to be the best jumper. In contrast to the top performance level - where a distinction is made between winter World Cup and summer Grand Prix - the series are referred to as the Continental Cup in both seasons.
For women, the Continental Cup was the only and automatically the highest competition class up to and including the 2010/11 season . Since the 2011/12 season, however, a women's World Cup series has also been held, so that the Continental Cup is only the “second division” here. The situation is similar with the summer competitions: since the Ski Jumping Grand Prix opened for women in 2012, the summer Continental Cup has been the second highest competition class.
