I don't know if this has been posted before... but these two edits filmed is Stubai (Austria) a few weeks ago contain more triples from semi-unknowns than you've ever seen before... Makes me think that maybe a lot of surprises will happen in Sochi!

they have to qualify for the olypmics and i'm pretty sure none of these people would of qualified, but if they did then there will be some upsets for sure!

I think his point is, that amateurs/unknowns are throwing triples, so whats gonna happen in the future of competitions, not that these guys are gonna be at sochi.

How are you guys so sure that they are not going to be in Sochi? They all have competed in FIS comps before... I don't know about their plans, but would think that Norway and Findland will definetly have someone in Sochi and it might as well be one of them...

Not to me, but they are not current Top 50 in movies/major comps so maybe that's how I should've put it.

Anyways, for the replies above, it does look like they are pretty unknown to some of the people in NS...

I wouldn't call them "semi-unknows" but anyway. Pretty impressive edit. Look out for some more Euro kids slaying the comp scene this season !

Christof Schenk did the first triple 1800 in his 2013 nine knights entry, except he probably wouldn't qualify for the Olympics because his right side spins are not on the same level. (Which is one thing that sucks about comps, unnatural spins are really hard but I hate how it's requirement for any slope skier these days /minirant)

By "semi-unknowns," you surely mean "some of the best young riders in Europe," right?

As far as the Olympics go, Jesper Tjader and Oystein Braaten both placed in the top 30 at the last World Cup event. I'd say they both have very good chances of going the the big show.

I referred to them as semi-unknowns because I guessed that most of the NS USA users would not know them, and for the first replies to the thread it does look like that...

Goog to know that they've been doing good and have a chance of going to Sochi. I'm sure it will not only be a Canada / USA thing

I'm sure a lot of people in the US know Jesper Tjader, but I'm also pretty sure that not many people had heard of Øystein...

Come on guys, you wanna tell me that you can't remember Oystein from the videos with Andreas Hatveit? Can't believe that!
