Just sending a quick update from Lillihammer, Norway, while we have a wireless signal. Today Clint Jones was 2nd place, and Tommy Schwall was 12th in the Continental Cup competition here in Lillihammer. It was a good day of ski jumping, with a very deep field. The cut for the top 30 was basically a jump to K, (90m) with a telemark. Anders Bardal, last years overall COC season winner, was first, on his "home hill". It was a good day for USA Ski Jumping, and the start of more good results to come!
We have had a good summer of training in Park City, with Clint making good progress on the jump. He has had some great training jumps, and its nice to finally see that in competition. Tommy has worked with us for the past few weeks, and make significant progress through that time. His 12th place a great sign of that.
Jimmy Denny and Kyle Kessler also jumped for the USA, but didn't make the cut to the top 30 for the second round. They both are learning, but have shown signs of good potential this week.
We have another competition in the morning, and then off to Trondheim for some big hill training. We come back home for a week, and then to the final Summer Grand Prix of the season in Hakuba, Japan. We will then be assembling the team to compete in the final COC's in Park City and Lake Placid this October. Finally some home hills for us!

Were off for dinner, and to get ready for the next competition. Thanks for your support, and well keep sending home the good news about US Ski Jumping!
