Connection problems ruined my chances of a top 10 finish. On a positive side, my 240 meter jump in Romania rocketed me to 10th place in the hill's World ranking, only 17 cm away from Tuure's nation record 8)

Thanks Vid.

What a tight competition.
I wasn't thinking about possible win until after the 31st hill where I took the lead. On the last hill I thought I screwed it up on the second round but apparently no one else felt at home in that wind either.

Also an old mouse response problem came back. The problem is that after the take off when you move your mouse down, the jumper reacts only after a few seconds of delay. That problem used to be a real pain in the ass but luckily this time it happened only two times. Back then I got rid of it by changing the mouse pad but now it looks like I'll have to buy a new mouse for this game some day.

I've been in the lead before a few times but someone(s) have always overtaken me during the last rounds so I'm very satisfied it finally happened :)

if you jump like you do i wouldnt change anything. but if you sell youre mouse i would like to buy it, or perhaps its youre computer speed what makes it work.

Congratulations to Tuomo, Vid and Jakub. 8)

I was out of top-15 most of the tournament so it's good to be 7th in the end. But compared to practice jumps and my current level, I still underperformed quite badly.... Only one podium in 32 hills... This is my best result in this season's world cup so far but I'm expecting better at next time.
