Janne Ahonen: "It was a good start"


berkutschi.com

The comeback of Janne Ahonen attracted lots of attention last weekend in Hinterzarten. And the 36-year-old Finn could show some good performances in his first appearance on the international stage.

For the five-time 4-Hills-Tournament winner, the weekend in the Black Forest started with a third place in the qualification Friday evening, and it ended with a seventh place in the individual competition on Sunday.

"It was a good start. Before this competition I didn't know what to expect, now it will be much easier to go into the next competitions", Ahonen is quoted on finnjumping.fi.

Despite the Top 10 result on the hill in Hinterzarten, the Finn still sees more potential when it comes to his performance. "In the first jump there was a lot of room for improvement concerning the timing. I had to find a solution for that. The second one was better, but still not very good."

Head coach Pekka Niemelae, who was not in Hinterzarten last weekend, was satisfied with the results of his two athletes (Ahonen was seventh, Lauri Asikainen 19th). "The opener of the Grand Prix was positive for us. It was a good start and it looks promising", Niemelae told on the website of the Finnish ski jumping team.
