Kuusamo

Finland K-120 Rukatunturi, Finland
November 24, 2006

Notes:

  • Jakub Janda wore the red jersey as the reigning champion.
  • Due to difficult weather conditions, the qualifying round was cancelled twice. Therefore, 67 jumpers participated in the first round.
  • As the competition progressed, the weather worsened, and the jumpers with the high starting numbers faced conditions which German jumper Michael Uhrmann said gave "the best jumpers no chance".[1] The jury decided to finish the first round to get a result, and the jumpers with the early start numbers ended up dominating the top of the result list. Arttu Lappi took his first World Cup win, and Anders Jacobsen took third place in his first ever World Cup event. 4 of the top 10 were from the national group, entering as extra competitors for the home nation, while the likes of Adam Małysz (34th), Andreas Küttel (41st), Jakub Janda (52nd), Janne Happonen (53rd), Janne Ahonen (55th) and Roar Ljøkelsøy (65th), all among the top 20 in last year's World Cup standings, would not have qualified for an eventual second round.
