First World Cup

Trying on my new suit before the comp

After Liberec we drove 3 hours to Oberwiesenthal, Germany for a Summer Grand Prix. A Grand Prix is a World Cup competition that occurs in the summer. I got a lot of much needed experience in this competition. It's pretty crazy competing against all these guys that I grew up watching and idolizing. For example I started 32nd in the Individual event at the same time as Jason Lamy Chappuis. Jason Lamy Chappuis is one of the most accomplished nordic combined skiers ever. This weekend I learned that I can compete at the highest level in the ski jumping portion and I have a ways to go in the cross country portion. However, with hard work I can get there!
