Competition

[edit]

Training was scheduled, on 13 March, however warm weather with warm wind caused it to be cancelled. A few jumpers did few training jumps on a smaller hill in Rateče, but encountered problems with the wind.[1][2]

On 14 March, the only training was scheduled for the afternoon, after the weather finally cleared up. Birger Ruud made the longest jump at 93 metres.[3]

The novel discipline of ski flying is considered to have been started by Josef Bradl on 15 March. The trial round began at 10:30 AM and continued with two rounds of international competition. After that, the second round was a non-competitive event with a goal of setting new world records. In the last round of the day, Sepp Bradl became the first man in history to jump over one hundred metres while standing, landing at 101.5 metres.[4][5][nb 1]

Boycott by Norway

[edit]

Four competitors from Norway who were chosen to compete boycotted the event. They objected because the hill was bigger than allowed at the time. They demanded a hill rearrangement to the K80 standard. When negotiation with the organizers failed, they left the event the middle of the trial round and under the leadership of Sigmund Ruud.

Footnotes

[edit]
  1. ^ Bradl's world record distance was published only as 101 meters, as the scoreboard allowed only three numbers to be shown. Slovene daily news Jutro published the figure and international news media cited it. The figure to full precision was 101.5 metres.
