The Ski Jumping World Cup 2006/07 (official sponsor name : e-on Ruhrgas FIS Ski Jumping World Cup 2006/07 ) was one of the International Ski Federation FIS discharged between 24 November 2006 and 25 March 2007 at 18 different locations in Europe series of competitions in ski jumping . Originally, it was planned to hold 27 individual and two team competitions. Six of the individual competitions had to be canceled or abandoned. Of these, three were deleted without replacement and three more were made up at a later point in time, so that 24 individual competitions were included in the rating. The Polish Adam Małysz won the overall standings, followed by the Norwegian Anders Jacobsen and the Swiss Simon Ammann in second and third place . The defending champion Jakub Janda from the Czech Republic took 22nd place. Austria won the Nations Cup for the third time in a row , ahead of the teams from Norway and Switzerland .

Changes to the regulations

For the 2006/2007 ski jumping season, some changes to the regulations were made: Firstly, since this season, the leader of the overall World Cup has been wearing the red jersey instead of the yellow jersey that was previously used . Secondly, instead of six ski jumpers, only three have taken part in the award ceremony since this season . And thirdly, the jump suits must be cut tighter in the neck area. This should reduce the dynamic buoyancy of the suit and promote an athletic jumping style. In addition, the best, not using the rule of the best 15 pre-qualified jumpers, is awarded the so-called Man of the Day . He receives a bonus and also takes part in the award ceremony. Some of these innovations were tested at the 2006 Summer Grand Prix .

Season course

Wind and capricious weather at the beginning

The first competitions of the World Cup were marked by unstable weather conditions . At the opening jump on the Rukatunturi hill in Kuusamo , Finland , only one competition round could be held, which was severely impaired by turning winds and constant snowfall , which slowed down the inrun. This led to distortions in the ranking - jumping was then unanimously referred to in the media as "chaos jumping". The jumping on the second day was canceled during the first run due to dangerous turning winds.

The competitions planned for the following week in Trondheim had to be relocated to Lillehammer due to the lack of snow there. An orderly jumping was only possible on Saturday, which ended with the first Swiss double victory in World Cup history by Simon Ammann and Andreas Küttel . On Sunday the competition was affected by fog and rain. The German Michael Neumayer , who finished fifth in Kuusamo, injured himself during training and had to end the season at this early stage.

Competitions five and six, which should have taken place in Harrachov , Czech Republic , had to be canceled without replacement due to lack of snow. Only on the fourth World Cup weekend in Engelberg were two regular jumps possible in good weather, after it had finally snowed in the Alps the week before. During this first phase, two debutants in the World Cup attracted attention, the 16-year-old Austrian Gregor Schlierenzauer and the 21-year-old Norwegian Anders Jacobsen . Except for the Swiss Ammann, who wore the red jersey of the World Cup leader since the first competition in Lillehammer , none of the established riders could keep up with these two newcomers, who both won a competition on the Gross-Titlis-Schanze .

In the jumping between Kuusamo and Engelberg, the Austrian team dominated, which on the eve of the Four Hills Tournament had six jumpers among the top 15 of the overall World Cup after five actually rated World Cups and was therefore awarded an additional starting place. The German team, on the other hand, showed only moderate performance until then, which is why, especially after the jumping in Engelberg, national coach Peter Rohwein was heavily criticized.

The Four Hills Tournament

Andreas Küttel was happy about second place in Oberstdorf

At the 55th Four Hills Tournament (official sponsor name: 55th International Jack Wolfskin Four Hills Tournament ) Schlierenzauer and Jacobsen were considered the big favorites in advance. At the opening competition in Oberstdorf , Schlierenzauer managed to withstand the pressure from the public and won the jumping with a sovereign advantage, Jacobsen was fourth. The Austrian team was also able to convince in this competition and place six jumpers among the top 15. The German Georg Späth had already been taken out of the squad for the entire tour before jumping, after a poor performance in the qualification. Michael Uhrmann and especially Jörg Ritzerfeld , who returned to the team after a long injury break , made good jumps in the first round, but neither of them could repeat their performances in the final. The result was a twelfth and a fifteenth place for the German team.

The second jumping competition in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , like many competitions this season, was characterized by adverse weather conditions. Only three German athletes were able to qualify, but Martin Schmitt made such big jumps in both the qualification and the training sessions that some optimistic fans believed him to be among the top three. The constantly changing wind and the persistent rain led to a thawing of the inrun and turned the New Year's jump into a lottery game. For example, the Japanese Noriaki Kasai , who was not even qualified in Oberstdorf, was carried down to 128 meters by a sudden updraft, while his opponent in the knockout duel, the Austrian Andreas Widhölzl , had to struggle with a tailwind. Even the Finn Matti Hautamäki and the Norwegian Bjørn Einar Romøren received support from the updraft in actually only moderate jumps and were able to place themselves in front. With a tailwind, Schmitt managed a jump to 122 meters, which in the end brought him eighth place - ahead of Uhrmann, who was ninth together with Austrian Andreas Kofler . The increasingly soft inrun and the stronger wind led to the cancellation of the second round. The beneficiary of this development was the leading Küttel at the time, who was declared the winner ahead of time. Küttel, who was already second in Oberstdorf, was able to break away from the overall tournament standings together with Schlierenzauer, who was three points ahead of him, so that halfway through the tour everything looked like a duel between the two for the overall victory.

In the qualification for jumping on the Bergiselschanze in Innsbruck , Schmitt could not build on his jumps from Garmisch-Partenkirchen and only achieved a place in midfield, first place was taken by his teammate Uhrmann with a distance of 125 meters. All other German starters, including Felix Schoft , who moved up in the team for Späth, survived the qualification. From the Austrian team, which also competed with a national group, 13 of 14 participants qualified. The competition upset the overall ranking of the tour. The two previously leading Schlierenzauer and Küttel were only ninth and twelfth after the first round. The watchman who left the Bakken last disappointed and only just reached the final in 29th place. While he was able to fight his way up to tenth place in the second round, the two favorites only managed a slight improvement. Schlierenzauer fell back to seventh place in the overall standings, Küttel was able to hold third place, tied with his compatriot Ammann. Jacobsen, the winner of the Bergisel Jumping, was able to take the lead, followed quite surprisingly by the Finn Arttu Lappi .

This resulted in an exciting starting position before the final competition in Bischofshofen , which this year was not held on Epiphany , as is traditionally the case , but one day later, as the television stations were speculating on higher ratings due to the Sunday date. The qualification was unspectacular and all jumpers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland made it into the competition. In the first round, 13 of the 14 Austrians who competed won their duel, which was the first time that 13 Austrians jumped into the points in a competition. Schlierenzauer managed to take the lead, but his width was only enough to take three points away from Jacobsen, who was second behind him, in the overall standings - too little to put him under serious pressure, as Jacobsen was 20 points ahead of the jumping . The other pursuers also couldn't get close to the Norwegian with their jumps. Even in the second round, none of the opponents could catch up, Küttel dropped to fifth, Lappi even to sixth place of the tour. In the end, Schlierenzauer won the day, while Jacobsen won the tour. After Risto Laakkonen and Toni Nieminen, he is only the third jumper to win the Four Hills Tournament on his debut.

Vikersund and Zakopane

Many jumpers, including prominent representatives such as Schlierenzauer, Martin Höllwarth and Jakub Janda , took a break from ski flying in Vikersund to recover from the tour. This competition was also influenced by changing wind conditions. The qualification planned for Friday had to be canceled after a few jumpers, which is why all of the 42 jumpers started the competition. The competition was held in front of an audience euphoric by Jacobsen's victory on the tour, so there was an excellent atmosphere in the run. At the beginning of the first round there was a strong tailwind, which is why after 17 jumpers had to start again with an extended approach. Since the tail wind then subsided and turned to a slight updraft towards the end of the competition, the last jumpers had very favorable conditions. The athletes who jumped in a strong tailwind shortly after the extension of the inrun were disadvantaged. For example, the Americans Alan Alborn or Schmitt, who had shown the eleventh-furthest jump in the trial round, could not reach the final despite solid jumps. Widhölzl benefited most from this development, who won the first round with a flight of 212.5 meters. The second round took place with a constant tail wind. Jacobsen improved from third to first place with a 193 meter flight and was able to extend his lead in the overall World Cup. Flying on Sunday had to be completely canceled due to strong winds.

In Zakopane it was again the wind that prevented regular jumping. After a first round in constantly changing winds, the Slovenian Rok Urbanc , who had barely appeared before that, led Roar Ljøkelsøy , who jumped completely out of shape , while some of the best jumpers such as Ammann, Uhrmann, Höllwarth or Martin Koch landed in the last places. The biggest victim of the wind was the Czech Jan Mazoch . This was hit by a squall in the second round and fell badly. Four jumpers after him, the competition was canceled and the result of the first round was taken as the overall result. The first reports that Mazoch's injuries were life-threatening were not confirmed. After the wind did not let up on Sunday, the second competition had to be canceled completely.

Jumping in Germany

The ski flying planned on the Heini-Klopfer ski jumping hill in Oberstdorf had to be relocated to the Schattenbergschanze as normal jumping due to lack of snow . The tail wind that prevailed on Saturday was constant and did not turn, so that an orderly competition was possible. From a German point of view, it was pleasing that the Uhrmann, who was still in eleventh place after the first round, was able to improve to third place in the final and thus achieved the first German podium of the season. The Austrian Thomas Morgenstern , who competed in spite of shingles , made it into second place behind Adam Małysz . That meant the 30th World Cup victory for Małysz and the first after almost a year. On Sunday Uhrmann was able to confirm his ambitious form and achieved the first German victory in a World Cup in over three years. But the biggest surprise of the day was the Italian Andrea Morassi , who achieved third place with two stable jumps. The two Swiss Ammann and Küttel showed a slight decline in form at the two competitions in Oberstdorf.

In Titisee-Neustadt the Slovenian Peter Žonta competed for the first time after a two-year injury break . The Japanese team, which had retired to Sapporo to train since the end of the Four Hills Tournament , competed again. The first competition on Saturday took place in calm wind conditions. In the first run, after a really good jump, Schmitt brought the skis on top of each other on landing and fell in the run, which is why he was taken to the hospital for an examination and was canceled for the Sunday competition. The same mishap happened to Uhrmann in the second run. The winner was Małysz, who equaled Sven Hannawald's hill record in the second round with 145 m . After the end of the jumping, the Norwegians Ljøkelsøy, Anders Bardal and Tom Hilde were disqualified because they had removed an elastic band from the start numbers and they were too tight. In the jumping on Sunday, which was held with a constant tailwind, the Russian Dmitri Wassiljew was able to jump on the podium for the first time in six years, after having narrowly failed several times. Małysz, who was getting better and better, won again.

The jumping in Klingenthal was added to the World Cup calendar at short notice with just ten days' lead time as a replacement for the canceled jumping in Harrachov. The jumping was organized by the Czech Ski Association, which had already used the ski jump in Klingenthal, which is only a few kilometers from the Czech border, for the national championships last year. Despite the short notice and the appointment during the week, the jumping took place in front of 15,000 spectators. However, seven of the top 15 jumpers of the overall World Cup who were preparing for the World Championship in Sapporo and who did not want to take on the strains of an additional competition were missing .

Great scenery despite the fog when jumping in Willingen

The World Cup dress rehearsal in Willingen took place in an excellent atmosphere in front of a very large audience. The competition on Saturday was carried out in fog and relatively constant updraft. The Slovenian Jernej Damjan was able to achieve third place with two constant jumps and thus ensure the first podium place under the new Slovenian coach Nikkola. The Norwegian Sigurd Pettersen , who has been in a bad form since the beginning of the season, was able to report back to the top of the world with a jump to fourth place, whereas Schlierenzauer was only 17th. In the team competition on Sunday, the Russian team, which was third at the time, had to give up its ambitions after a fall by Vasilyev and was only penultimate. The last was the weak Finnish team, which only consisted of jumpers from the B-team, as top jumpers like Janne Ahonen and Hautamäki had not even traveled to Willingen because of the preparations for the World Cup. With just eight points ahead of Norway, the highly-favored Austrian team won significantly less than many had previously assumed.

The Nordic Tournament

The World Cup took a two-week break because of the Nordic World Ski Championships . At the World Cup, Uhrmann broke his foot in a training fall and was out for the rest of the World Cup season.

After the break, the World Cup team moved on to Lahti . In the opening team competition, to which the surprise World Cup third Japan did not take part, the Finns were able to rehabilitate themselves with a third place for their disappointing placement in the team competition at the World Cup. The teams from Austria and Norway were able to maintain their undisputed position at the top of the field. The first jump of the Nordic Tournament on Sunday was influenced by constantly changing winds. The last starters of the first round were particularly disadvantaged, where the prevailing updraft fell asleep completely, so that jumpers like Morgenstern, Schlierenzauer or Jacobsen could not reach the second round. Małysz, who also jumped in adverse winds, was able to take advantage of his outstanding form and still take the lead in the field. The second round was held under somewhat more constant conditions. The jumping finally won Małysz before Kofler. Schmitt was able to improve from sixth to third place and thus achieve his first podium in over five years.

At the beginning of the jumping in Kuopio only very small distances were reached, so that the run-up was extended after 13 jumpers - after that a regular competition with a moderate updraft was possible. Schmitt had bad luck with the wind, who dropped from third to 14th place in the second run after the updraft suddenly subsided during his jump. Małysz could also win this jumping and celebrate his 34th World Cup victory. As a result, he left Jens Weißflog behind in the all-time best list of the World Cup and now ranks second behind Matti Nykänen .

The third competition of the Nordic Tournament in Lillehammer, where the World Cup stopped for the second time in the season, could not be started because the wind was too strong. The officials of the FIS therefore decided to hold an additional competition in Oslo , which took place on Saturday instead of the actually planned qualification.

That is why two competitions were held at Holmenkollbakken . The first competition on Saturday, in which the entire starting field started without prior qualification, should be a debacle for the German jumpers. Christian Ulmer was the only one of the DSV team to reach the final, all others were eliminated. Małysz was able to win again and take over the red jersey of the World Cup leader after the previous wearer Jacobsen had only finished 14th.

With the final jumping of the tournament on Sunday, another jumping this season was affected by the wind. Mainly gusts coming from the side ensured a jump in which only two jumps led over the calculation point of the hill. Several jumpers were disadvantaged by these conditions, for example Küttel, who was second the day before, only came in 47th place. Małysz, who was the last jumper to go from baking, had to stop his jump at 89.0 meters after being hit by a gust of wind and only with a little luck could prevent a fall - the second round was then canceled. However, Małysz's lead in the overall standings was big enough that he could celebrate his third Nordic Tournament victory. Jacobsen was able to regain the lead in the overall World Cup through Małysz's almost crash.

Graduation flies in Planica

At the season finale in Planica , an additional competition took place on Friday, which had been scheduled as a replacement for the canceled flight in Vikersund. Previously, qualification had to be postponed from Thursday evening to Friday morning because the equipment of the Russian team at Moscow airport had been misdirected. Both this and the actual competition took place in calm weather conditions, so that a regular competition was possible. Nevertheless, there were a few falls on landing, especially by jumpers who used a modern Finnish binding system in which a solid bar is used instead of the conventional strap to connect the boot and binding. Flying was dominated by the Norwegians, who were able to bring four jumpers into the top ten. The Slovenes, who were troubled by crises this season, were able to place two jumpers among the top four with Damjan and Robert Kranjec in front of a local audience. In the fight for the overall World Cup ranking, Małysz was able to overtake sixth-placed Jacobsen with his victory and had a lead of 46 points before the last two competitions of the season. Ammann's second place gave him at least a mathematical chance in the fight for the World Cup. In a sporty gesture, Jacobsen took off his red jersey after the jump from Małysz and hung it around his opponent's neck.

During the jumping on Saturday there was also calm wind conditions, the fog and light snowfall in the second round did not affect the competition. In the competition for the World Cup, Małysz extended his lead to 66 points with his victory of the day, but Jacobsen was able to keep the fight exciting with his second place.

The final flight on Sunday was canceled in snowfall after a round in which Małysz Jacobsen had lost twelve meters. The Pole was able to secure his fourth overall World Cup victory.

His successor as national coach was Ari-Pekka Nikkola, who was previously coach of the B-team.

A few weeks after the end of the World Cup, the Swiss trainer Berni Schödler also ended his work for the World Cup team. His successor was the Austrian Werner Schuster .
