Ufa resident Dmitry Vasiliev – a record of Olympic Large Hill but without a medal

At the Winter Olympics in Sochi men’s Large Hill K-125 competitions were held. Two Ufa ski-jumpers successfully passed the first series of jumps - Ilmir Hazetdinov closed the top thirty, and the leader and team veteran Dmitry Vasiliev jumped over 130 meters – the 25th place.
In his final attempt Dmitry Vasiliev set a record jump - 144.5 metres, but when landing touched snow cover with hands, thereby losing points for technique. As a result, Dmitry finished the competitions only on the 26th place.
Ilmir Hazetdinov progresses with each jump, but so far he is only on the 29th place.
Kamil Stoch won the K-125 individual, Japanese Noriaki Kasai has a silver medal, the bronze went to the Slovenian Peter Prevc.
On February 17 the Olympic program in ski jumping will finish with team tournament.
