The conditions were great during the Ski Jumping. It was slightly above 10 degrees below zero, and the wind did not disturb the competition. In recent years, significant investment has been made to the wind protection of Ruka&#8217;s ski jumping hill. The athletes already tested the hill on Thursday, when the provisional round was jumped.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53704\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53704\" style=\"width: 545px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-53704\" src=\"https:\/\/rukanordic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Jarno-36-of-36-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"545\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rukanordic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Jarno-36-of-36-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rukanordic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Jarno-36-of-36-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rukanordic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Jarno-36-of-36-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rukanordic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Jarno-36-of-36-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/rukanordic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Jarno-36-of-36.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53704\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The longest jump was made by Ryota Yamamoto.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Japanese <strong>Ryota Yamamoto<\/strong> won with 143.5 meter jump.

The Finn heads to the 5km Gundersen with the knowledge that the skiing track is the place to compete from the top spots. Ruka has not been always the best place of the World Cup for him in the past either. On Thursday, Herola also said that he needs long jumps to get to the middle positions at Ruka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Aleksi Rouvinen, Laajasalon opisto<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Jarno Jumppanen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Cup of Nordic Combined has started with a blast at the Ski Jumping rounds at Ruka.
