Re: The 2010 Winter Olympics Today we have qualifing seasion to ski jumping normal hill contest. For that moment I see 2 strong h2h bets and one ouitright. Ekspekt Anders Bardal - Janne Happonen 1 @ 1.75 Bardal was better in 6th training jumps. They jumped from diffrent gate level (only in 1st and 4th try from the same, Anders jumped 1.5m and 2 m farther) but generally 1 gate lavel upper for Jane gave him only 1 meter advantage, and when Anders started from from upper gate, 1 lavel gave him 2-3.5 meters advantage. Before Vancouver Anders who back to FIS wc (after nice results in Continental Cups) in Japan contests show that he is still getting better from event to event. His positions: 40-19-38-27-24-19-12. In last 4 tournaments he took positions in first 30. Janne in this year in World Cup jumped only in Bad Mitterndorf and Zakopane, but only once he get WC points for 26 position in Austria. In last 2 contest he took 33 and 34th position in Zakopane. Not often we can see world cup contests on so small hills, last one was in Oslo (March 2009), there Bardal take great 5th position. WillHill Michael Neumayer - Noriaki Kasai 1 @ 1.75 Neumayer has shown really fantastic form in last WC contest, his great jumps gave Germans 1st place in team contest, he took 3rd position in last indyvidual contest as well. Kasai we can see in Japan where he took 2nd and 6th position. In Vancouver in training seasion Neumayer is far away better. 1st training day: Name - Distance - Gate Neumayer 102 - 20 Kasai 95,5 - 20 Neumayer 100 - 19 Kasai 101 -19 Neumayer 102 - 19 Kasai: 98,5 - 19 2nd training day: Neumayer 102,5 - 22 Kasai 99,5 - 22 Neumayer 102 - 28 Kasai 103 - 28 Neumayer - DNF Kasai 94,5 - 23 I think Michael who is in top form win easilly with veteran Noriaki. Nordicbet Adam Malysz - Top 3 @ 2.75 Good odd for that bet, when other bookies cut prices for about 2.20. In Poland in local bookie we have even only 3.50 for gold medal. Malysz from the begining of the season claim that Olimpic event is his main goal. He won everything in the past but still waiting for olimpic gold. In last contest he has shown great form, he improved his positions from event to event and in Klingenthal he lose only with Amman. What more he is short and technical, he loves small hills. I see here great chance to win a medal on small object.
