Matty Nukes. Great jumper. Always seemed like a lot of demons there. Very sad. RIP.

I never liked ski jumpers, but this guy was a real legend, and when I heard this yesterday, it felt like someone would hit me with a hammer. Even though Schlierenzauer got his record of most wins in World cup (kinda impossible to compare, when someone had 12 or 13 WC races in season and the other 30 a season), Matti was, at least for me, by far best ski jumper on World... ever!
