Someone said once: "Ski jumpers are special people!" How many of us can agree that? At least I think that we´re just normal guys who have decided to continue our hobby and bring it to the professional level. Somehow it is true that we are special but aren´t we all... also people working in stores and companies, building their careers as self employers and taking care of children at home have their special meaning.

Big part of sportsmens income comes from partners and sponsors. Just minor part of ski jumpers can secure their future with price money and other sports earnings. We all world cup jumpers know our talents and are confident on our future expectations as pro level jumpers and victories. To get to the worlds elite isn´t possible for everyone but also for us who have already been there it isn´t always easy to stay there. As individuals also ski jumpers have their goals in private lifes and it is hard to train everyday without secure of future. Partners can keep sportsmen training so that they can fully concentrate on the sports.

I would really like to see that people think about this. Our dreams can come true!

Yours,

Finnish Ski Jumping Team
