Competitions

[edit]

On 7 March 1957, first training on Srednja Bloudkova K80 normal hill was on schedule in front of no crowd, which also counted as qualification for the main international event. There were 38 competitors from eight countries performing with no crowd present. Helmut Recknagel won this independent (qualification) event for the main competition with 78.5 and 79.5 metres.[1][2][3]

On 8 March 1957, second training, first on Bloudkova velikanka K120 large hill in front of 5,000 people was on schedule, which also counted as qualification for the main international event. In three rounds total of 97 jumps were made that day. Twenty-five jumps were over 100 metres and Helmut Recknagel was the longest with a jump that tied the hill record of 120 metres from 1948 set by Fritz Tschannen. Those were only trial jumps, however they were also graded by judges, if one on next two days of competition would be canceled, then two best jumps from today's training would count into official final results.[4]

On 9 March 1957, first day of competition in three rounds was on schedule, in front of 10,000 people. There were 3 rounds with total of 124 jumps made. Helmut Recknagel set another hill record at 124 metres.[5][6]
