Granerud was the best Norwegian nyttårshopprennet and should met the japanese Daiki Ito in the duel. Askerhopperen appeared, however, never up on the boom. This is because he had not reglementert hoppdress.
Robin Pedersen was disqualified from Friday's qualification because of the non legal suit.
- Suit was a bit low at the top. It is is so that can happen. I get to take me for a walk instead, said Granerud to NRK.
Thus, it was a new downturn for Granerud, which, incidentally, was the only Norwegian who is not qualified for the first race in the Hoppuka. There you can read more about here.
