Talk:Bloudkova velikanka

Article title: Bloudkova velikanka or Bloudek Giant?

The article should probably be moved to Bloudek Giant, which is an established English name of the ski slope. (examples: [1], [2], [3]) This would bring the article title in accordance with WP:ENGLISH. --Eleassar ^{my talk} 14:09, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

K120 or K130

The size is given as K130 in Skisprungschanzen-Archiv's article, but I have reason to believe that that is a mistake. I am guessing that the mistake originates in FIS' list of homologated ski jumping hills from december 2003, which also gives the size as K130. By that time the hill was dilapitated, the inrun had collapsed in 2001, and earlier lists gave the size as K120. A video of Noriaki Kasai's incredible 147,5 meter jump in 1998, with the points for the jump, showed that the size was K120 at the time, and I very much doubt that the hill was enlarged after that.

Lanišek never jumped 149 m (but only 133 m)

On 29 March 2014, after the end of the World Cup season, ski jumpers Anže Lanišek and Cene Prevc competed at the Slovenian national nordic combined championships. It was published that Lanišek jumped 149 meters which is absolute record. But in fact, this is false. Both Lanišek and Prevc actually jumped around 133 meters.

They both jumped (133 m) from much lower gate than nordic combined professionals. Bust as there was no gate compesation yet then in Nordic combimed, jury simply compensated lower gate with additional meters instead of points. Cene Prevc explained this at RTV studio at 2023 World Championships in Planica, 24.2.2023 (see at 5:05). Sportomanokin (talk) 11:51, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
