WOMENS SKI JUMPING USA NEWS
 

Jan 14, 2006
LJUBNO, SLO

by Brenna Ellis

Today was the competition in Ljubno, Slovenija. We were unable to jump in official training due to all of our ski bags getting lost on the way over here. Luckily Jessica, Lindsey, and Alissa all had new skis from Elan waiting for them over here, so with a couple of phone calls they were able to get new bindings and have them ready for competition. Abby and I on the other hand didn't have new skis so we borrowed some from a couple of the forejumpers. In the end we all had skis and anything else that we needed to jump.

The hill was a bit different, but for the most part it was pretty fun. It is a K-85 so it was a lot more fun to jump on than some of the smaller hills we jump on. At the end of the day everything seemed to work itself out!

Our ski bags finally arrived this evening, after the competition, and we are going to train in Kranj, SLO for the next two days. It will be nice for all of us to be back on our own stuff!

  1. Anette Sagen NOR 214.5
