Hear, it is like that many of us are acquaintances of even. But how many can even guess that great feeling when you take off from the beak of a ramp. Get to be free for a moment in the air. Man gets to glide like an eagle. Only a ski jumping man can know that.
The greatest ski jumper of all times, four time Olympic gold medal winner, Matti Nykänen died at the age of 55, yesterday. In 1982 Oslo Olympics he took his first World Championship victory in dense fog.
"I am prepared for every day. Even for tomorrow."
