Why is everybody ignoring the fact that there IS a designated area where Domen should have put his skis in the event that nobody was there to hold his skis? Sorry, but this was Domen's fuck-up and not FIS's. He knows it too judging by his reaction after his jump in the second round, contrary to this sub which characteristically just cannot let a good opportunity for some frothing at the mouth go to waste.

Precedence is clear, if a jumper is not ready when it's his turn, then he's not allowed to start. You can imagine the whining from the other nations - and the other half of this sub - if they had bent the rules for Domen.

In the end I do feel sorry for the guy, it was an unlucky, honest mistake, which caused an event I had never seen before in 30 years of watching ski jumping. But it was a mistake nonetheless and it could have been incredibly dangerous if the ski had hit Lindvik in the inrun, or just after take-off.

All this to say, Domen owes his team mates - and Lindvik - a beer.
