Sochi passes final test for the Olympics

The Russian summer nationals were held this week on the Olympic hills in Sochi. The events took place on the normal and on the large hill in the RusSki Gorki Ski Jumping Center and also served as the final test for the Olympic Games in February.

"I'm really impressed with what happened here since my last visit. Compared to last December, when the ladies' and men's World Cup took place, everything is almost unrecognizable", Miran Tepes, assistant of FIS race director Walter Hofer, told FISskijumping.com. "Enormous steps were made over the past weeks and months concerning the venues and the infrastructure. Accommodations for more than 100 000 tourists were built in the area, that's a huge number", Tepes told.

The organizers invited Tepes and other FIS officials as advisors to the open Russian Nationals in order to make sure that the events are carried out in accordance with international standards. So these events were a real test for the competitions at the upcoming Olympic Games.

"The logistics and the infrastructure worked well during the competitions. Everything is, or will be, ready in time. The organizing committee did a good job", Tepes is optimistic for the ski jumping competitions at the Olympics in Sochi from February 9th - 17th.

The win in the competition on the normal hill went to Ilmir Hazetdinov with 94 m in both rounds and 224.0 points. Anton Kalinitschenko came in second with 219.5 points (94 m and 93.5 m), followed by Dimitry Vassiliev. The veteran showed the longest jump of the day with 95.5 m in the final, but with his total of 219.0 points he was not able to improve his third place after the first round.

Dimitry Vassiliev then took the win on the large hill. He won the title with the longest jumps in both rounds (134.5 m and 134 m) and a total of 258.1 points. Denis Kornilov finished second with 129.5 m and 130.5 m (255.1 points). Ilmir Hazetdinov was third in this competition with 228.9 points (128.5 m and 121 m).
