Previous FIS Ski Jumping World Cup Coverage

The streak of failing to have a US ski jumper advance from the qualification round reached three straight events on Tuesday as both Nick Alexander and Anders Johnson couldn’t reach the top 50. Johnson had the better of the two jumps reaching 100.5m and scoring a 73.4, still well short of the 94.0 needed to reach the top 40. Alexander only made it 90m and took just a 6.0 for distance points.

The next chance for ski jumping success is not far off with Trondheim, Norway hosting an event Thursday and Friday with qualifying on Thursday. There are just four events left in the 2013-14 season. Check back to WeSupportTheUS.com tomorrow night when hopefully I can confirm if Anders Johnson and Nick Alexander are indeed in the field.
