|  |  | 
| 2. | You were prejumper in Kuopio´s World Cup event. | 
|  |  | 
| a) | Why did you decide to do that? | 
|  | I was staying in Kuopio at my parents. Why wouldn´t I jump? I have | 
|  | always been ready to jump as trial jumper. | 
|  |  | 
| b) | Did you enjoy this? | 
|  | I enjoy ski jumping... so I enjoed jumping there. :) | 
|  |  |

|  |  | 
| d) | What is the difference between a World Cup in Kuopio and Germany? | 
|  | 1. Location of course. |

|  | if the competition is in Kuopio. |

| a) | When did you know that you would go there? | 
|  | On Monday... not too early. | 
|  |  | 
| b) | How would you describe the hill? | 
|  | It´s ok. I like the inrun but in the air there used to be a better feeling |

| c) | Do you like the hill? | 
|  | I like it. | 
|  |  |

|  |  | 
| f) | How was the second competition? | 
|  | Not so good. I fell my first jump. Happily I didn´t hurt myself... just my |

| 5. | Are you disappointed that you did not take part in World Cup after the | 
|  | first two competitons? | 
|  | A bit of course but I know now what my condition was this winter and there | 
|  | is no need to be disappointed anymore. | 
|  |  | 
| 6. | Are you satiesfied with your results in Coc`s? | 
|  | I had few good competitions but there should have been more of those top 6 | 
|  | finishes. I know that these days it isn´t so simple to be on the podium | 
|  | anymore. So I can´t be too disappointed. | 
|  |  | 
| 7. | What are you doing after this season? | 
|  | First I will finish my studies for this year and then I will start the training | 
|  | for the next season. |
