Finally, counts 1 statement for Japan, Russia (like the USSR) and Slovenia (as Yugoslavia). Among the 21 world champions, five are still in business. This is the Finnish Janne Ahonen (2005), Swiss Simon Ammann (2007), dell''austriaco Gregor Schlierenzauer (2011), the Polish Kamil Stoch (2013) and the German Severin Freund (2015). But it will not be the game of Lahti due to injury. Among the members of this quintet, the Austrian also won a silver medal (2015), while the Finnish and Swiss have in game bag a bronze, dated 2001 and 2011 respectively. Are only three men in activities that have already fregiati less precious medals.

It will compete in Salpausselän hyppyrimäet, complex of trampolines which takes its name from Salpausselkä, a series of huge moraines present in southern Finland. It is remarkable the fact that the Large Hill, where have already been staged 37 first-level competitions, has not been renovated in preparation for this World Championships. Look for an exhilarating financial times, you want to indolence, the organizing committee has decided to take action only on the Normal Hill, leaving intact the large trampoline, whose last renovation dates back to 1985. Therefore it will race on a plant with a very particular profile (K116 - HS130) and now antiquated concept, having been designed in 1972.
