redfiona99I should explain that this is about ski jumping.
For the creature, he is making a comeback.
The creature is Primoz Peterka, who did little more than beat the great hope of the Austrian ski-jumping team for 3 years. Which is why I hate him.
That the great hope of the Austrian skiing team is my favourite ski-jumper ever might have something to do with it.
Anyway, then he had four years of nothing, failiure, disaster. And I may have been quite vicious.
But even I was starting to feel sorry for him, but now he has won an event and is the present leader of the rankings, I can go back to hating him in peace.
Really it was brought home to me because the Andy Goldberger (the aforementioned great hope) is now 30 and showing no signs of getting out of his slump, while the creature is still only 23.
They'll never get rid of him.
(Also why I was so upset about Austria finishing fourth in the team ski-jumping after Slovenia, the Slovenian team contained him and I could feel the start of the comeback in my bones)
Even Simon Amman not qualifying (take that you lucky one time only shot) and Andy Widhözel winning has not cheered me up.
Nor Austria's complete dominance in the week's alpine skiing. Okay, so that made me happy because Pepi Strobl's back from injury and so it Werner Franz, and indeed half the team.
This was brought to you by winter sports obsession, not by Calvin Klein
