In February we attended the 2025 World Cup Ski Jumping competition held in Lake Placid. Here's a short compilation of the men's 128 meter event on the final day. We were thrilled to see two Americans jump in the finals: Lake Placid local Tate Franz (19), and Kevin Bickner (28) of Lake Forest, Illinois. Kevin tied for 14th place overall and Tate finished right behind him in 16th place. The winner was Daniel Tschofenig of Austria.
