Episode 13 - V for victory for the first master of the V-style
Toni Nieminen from Finland was only 16 years old when he introduced himself to the world of ski jumping. As the sport was going through a massive change from the old parallel style to the new V-style, Nieminen became the first jumper to truly master it. In episode 13 we cover the story of his absolutely epic 1992 season where he dominated the World Cup, the Four Hills Tournament, and the Olympics. Send us a text
