“We feel ripped off’: Ski jumping ladies deeply disappointed. “We are constantly told what we cannot and are not allowed to do,” said World Cup 2nd Eva Pinkelnig.
The FIS, on the other hand, justifies the lack of catch-up jumping due, among other things, to a lack of financial resources. This winter the women jumped for the first time around the turn of the year in Oberstdorf and Garmisch-Partenkirchen. But unlike the men's event, the stadiums were not sold out long in advance.
