Problems Expected at the Ski Jumping World Cup in Engelberg

The ski jumping event on Sunday may prove problematic for athletes in Engelberg. Weather conditions forced organizers to change the schedule, and the morning qualifiers were significantly affected. Strong winds reaching speeds of up to 8 m/s and rainfall posed challenges. Journalist Adam Bucholz highlighted the tough conditions faced by the jumpers on social media, indicating that it would be a long day not necessarily fair for all competitors.

Only five jumpers managed to clear the 125 m mark during the qualifications, which coincides with the 'K' point for the event. Among those was Jakub Wolny, who finished fifth. Poor conditions led to the qualification schedule adjustment, moving it earlier in the day due to weather concerns. The competition later today at 4 PM might also face disruptions due to ongoing weather issues.

The poor visibility and challenging conditions were evident, as many athletes struggled to perform their best under the circumstances. The current situation raises concerns about how the competition will proceed as planned, given the continuing adverse weather in Engelberg.
