Special for the FIS Grand Prix
on 2011-07-02
In two weeks the summer grand prix will begin at Wisła in Poland for a first time. Before each GP competition, there will be an update with recent information on the particular ski jump.
After the decision about the Olympic Winter Games 2018 will be made on July 6, the ski jumping summer season begins.

So a few days before a competition is going to take place, we will have an update on the particular hill. The kick-off is on July 17 at Wisła in Poland. COC is already starting this weekend at Kranj. For this series we will have a lot of updates in the articles about the hosting ski jumps as well. We wish you a lot of fun reading it and are looking forward to the competitions!
It will be exciting to follow the competition series. Will it be a summer of Polish jumpers like last year, even without Adam Małysz? How is last season's overall World Cup winner Thomas Morgenstern going to perform? Can Daiki Ito repeat his last year's triumph? And how are the German's going to perform in front of there home audiences at Hinterzarten and Klingenthal?
With Almaty (Kazakhstan) and Hinzenbach (Austria) to new hills are featured on the calendar, were world class never competed before so far. It will be interesting to see spectator interest especially at Almaty and also at COC events in Erzurum in Turkey. Other competitions are held in Japan, Switzerland, France and Norway.
