[Event]Nordic Tournament 2007, Lahti, Kuopio, Lillehammer, Oslo

The Nordic Tournament gets underway in Finland, at Lahti with the 82nd Lahti Ski Games. Situated 100 km North of Helsinki, Lahti is located in the heart of Finland. You can reach Lahti via the Helsinki-Vantaa airport, followed by a regularly scheduled bus route to Lahti. Tampere is also a possibility, as it's located 130 km Northwest of Lahti.
The next stage is in Kuopio, located in central Finland, an hour away from Helsinki (390 km south) by air (the local airport is 17 km from the city center). Tampere is 300 km away.
The Tournament then heads to Lillehammer. The host of the 1994 Olympics, Lillehammer is 145 km from Oslo's airport (180 km from the city) and can be reached by train regularly throughout the day.
The final stage is right in Oslo, at the great venue of Holmenkollen. The famous resort has been active in ski jumping since 1892. Located just outside of Oslo, in the Nordmarka, it is a favourite skiing area for Oslo's large population.

Anders Jacobsen leads overall by quite a bit and Gregor Schlierenzauer and Adam Malysz will have their work cut out to catch him as Ski Jumping enters the final period of the season.

Great to see the french team ! Unfortunately they couldn't qualify for the last round. Emmanuel Chedal had to be 200 grams heavier...

I'm quiet happy for the finns, Matti did good jumps !

With Lamy Chappuis on the team, the French actually have a pretty decent squad. Too bad about Chedal. He was disqualified because of his weight?

Yes, because of his weight... that's a shame.
Nice in fact to see Jason jumping for our team ! and congratulations for his 3rd place in nordic combined!

Malysz boosts hopes

Adam Malysz boosted his hopes of winning the World Cup title with a commanding victory on the large hill in Lahti.

The Pole, who crushed the field on the normal hill at Sapporo to win the fourth World Championship gold of his career last week, has now closed the gap on Anders Jacobsen to 134 points with six events remaining.

The Pole produced the best jump in both rounds with his efforts of 125m and 128m to win by 7.5 points from Austria's Andreas Kofler with Martin Schmitt of Germany 2.6 points further back in third.

It was his 33rd World Cup victory which takes him into joint second place in the history of the sport.

Jacobsen, who has won four competitions this season, was affected by a tail wind during the first round and his leap of 109.5m meant he missed out on the points completely along with Austrian teenager Gregor Schlierenzauer who remains third in the standings.
