Anders Bardal and Tom Hilde - FIS
The two Norwegian stars Anders Bardal and Tom Hilde
will not travel to Kuusamo for the next World Cups,
instead they will prepare themselves for the upcoming
home events in Lillehammer next week.
Together with Anders Jacobsen and Kim Rene Elverum
Sorsell, Bardal and Hilde will train in Vikersund
on Wednesday and Thursday, then it is planned to
jump in Rena or Lillehammer on the weekend.
"The conditions are perfect for ski jumping
in Norway now, so I will use that advantage to get
some more snow jumps. I feel I’m jumping well enough
to compete in the World Cup, but I believe I can
jump better", Tom Hilde writes on his website
tom-hilde.com.
Besides Ole Marius Ingvaldsen, best Norwegian at
the World Cup opening in Klingenthal as 13th, also
Anders Fannemel, Rune Velta, Andreas Stjernen, Fredrik
Bjerkeengen and Robert Johansson are on the team
for Kuusamo.
