Ski jumping

The ski jumping season 2009/10 ( see also: Ski Jumping World Cup 2009/2010 ) was dominated by the Swiss Simon Ammann and the Austrian team. The 28-year-old Swiss Ammann won nine individual competitions, including the last four of the Nordic Tournament , which it won confidently ahead of Adam Małysz from Poland, who gained strength in the second half of the season . The veteran from Poland had previously won the silver medal twice behind Ammann at the Olympic Games in Vancouver, both on the normal and on the large hill. For Gregor Schlierenzauer from Austria, this year's overall World Cup runner-up and overall World Cup winner of the 2008/09 season, bronze remained. The Austrian team was outstanding in 2009/10. In addition to Schlierenzauer, Thomas Morgenstern (3rd), Andreas Kofler (4th), Wolfgang Loitzl (6th) and Martin Koch (8th) were among the top 10 in the overall World Cup.

In the national ranking, Austria relegated Norway to second place with 6868 points (3117 points). Germany and Finland followed in third and fourth place, Switzerland fifth, although apart from Ammann only Andreas Küttel reached a final for Switzerland. Especially the Finnish team disappointed compared to the previous season. Despite the return of Janne Ahonens , the performances of the Finnish jumpers were fluctuating. Ahonen, who surprisingly finished second in the 2009/10 Four Hills Tournament won by Andreas Kofler and once again reached fourth place at the Olympics, was eleventh in the overall World Cup, while his team-mate Harri Olli 14th, who once again had extra-sporting escapades this season drew attention.

The Slovenian Robert Kranjec secured the ski flying ranking ahead of Schlierenzauer and Ammann.

A rule change was successfully tested in several competitions in 2009/10: In order to ensure more fairness due to different wind conditions, the points were calculated using a mathematical formula. This calculation method can also be used to change the start-up within a competition. The feared opacity for viewers due to the complicated procedure for calculating the points turned out to be problem-free. In the Nordic Combined, the procedure had already been adopted for all competitions in 2009/10.
