We can say with absolute certainty that all surveyed ski jumpers are able to take 16th to 50th place in a World cup race. the differences between competitors are very minor, even in the biggest races. therefore, when it comes to success, every single detail matters. We have identified a weak correlation between the best sporting achievement and collaboration in the testing of new equipment. in the past, some of the best results were achieved on the basis of experimentation, but contemporary coaches do not dare to over-experiment with the technique. too frequent progress measurements place a burden on competitors.
