The Polish national team took seventh place during the Saturday team competition in Lahti. Pawe³ W ± sec was disqualified after his jump in the second round for illegal shoes. Mika Jukkara did not hide his regret, but in his opinion, Wąsek used shoes similar to those for which the white and red men were disqualified in Willingen.

Yevgeniy Klimov demonstrated his support for Russia during the competition in Lahti. In the team competition he had a flag on a glove
Russia finished last in the second series of the team competition in Lahti. However, special attention was paid to the behavior of Yevgeniy Klimov during the competition, who after the jump decided to demonstrate his support for Russia. The jumper had the flag of Russia on the glove. For comparison – on Friday, the flag of Russia was only visible (as standard) on Klimov’s helmet (although the equipment he had on Saturday is not new, as we write about). However, it was a normal situation, because, for example, on the side of the Norwegian helmets you could see their flag. In the present situation, this gesture, straight to the camera, can only be called wrong. It is simply a provocation … And let us remind you that Sandro Pertile recently said on TVP Sport that he would not want to exclude Russian jumpers, because all jumpers constitute one family. Klimov shows that probably not very much.
Earlier, he was greeting Putin
The Russian media reported after winning the silver medal in the mix that Vladimir Putin watched the struggles of the jumpers on TV, and the competitors received this information from Dmitry Dubrovsky, the president of the Russian federation. How did Yevgeny Klimov react to this? – Exactly as it was announced by President Dubrowskij. If Putin hears us, we send him great greetings – said Klimow, quoted by Paweł Borkowski from the portal skijumping.pl.
Cameras during the competition in Lahti caught Yevgeniy Klimov, who was waiting for his turn in the second round. The jumper showed a thumbs up before Mikhail Nazarov’s attempt. How did the Eurosport commentators react to this behavior of Klimov? – Well, it’s not ok, Mr. Yevgeniy – we could hear during the broadcast.
