Japan's Ski Jump Take The Home Advantage - Nagano 1998 Winter Olympics

📲 Subscribe to @olympics: oly.ch/Subscribe
Takanobu Okabe, Hiroya Saito, Masahiko Harada and Kazuyoshi Funaki all put on incredible displays for Japan in the ski jumping event at the Nagano 1998 Olympic Winter Games.
The Sapporo 1972 Games put high expectations on the Japanese team to perform once again at a home Winter Games.
The individual events had given the hosts medals one medal in each of the three colours out of six possible medals (with Kazuyoshi Funaki taking the large hill gold), but hadn't yet offered the public with the same spectacular display as the Japanese clean sweep in Sapporo.
Still, there was one event left which was not feature on the Olympic programme until the 1988 Winter Games: the team large hill competition.
Four years earlier, Japan had won the ski jumping team silver medal in Lillehammer after having an early lead, leaving the public anxious for a better result. Once again the pressure was on Masahiko Harada who was considered responsible for the unfulfilling result in 1994.
This time there were no doubts that Harada - alongside Takanobu Okabe, Hiroya Saito and Kazuyoshi Funaki - had delivered as Japan took the gold medal to the delight of the 40,000 fans present at the venue.

The music sounds like it's from the old Playstation game 'Wipeout'. Nice.

Кому нужен спорт и соревнования? да богатые люди таким образом отвлекают бедных от политики и денег,они преувеличивают важность олимпиады яко бы пере другими странами надо показать себя достойно,но на деле же бедных людей таким образом обманывают что бы оправдать классовое неравноправие.Ну какой престиж,вы о чем? Это же смешно.Более того большенству это даже не интересно,они просто это пиарят уверяя людей в этом.Детский сад.На деле же так типо у одних есть деньги а у других нету но нам надо держатся так и оставить все как есть во имя славы и престижа государства,короче лохотрон.Типо у нас такие задачи и их надо выполнить.И так постоянно что то новое придумывают то олимпиада то зимняя олимпиада то чемпионат мира по футболу,формула 1,мончестер,хоккей,ну и конечно церковные богослужения,я конечно всего не напишу но это все глобальный лохотрон,людей уверяют в том что им это надо.И под эту всю тему богатые люди поработили бедных,лишив их доступа к деньгам

5 x 20 for Funaki was a little overestimated judgement.
