Ski jumping legend Noriaki Kasai has been nominated for the World Cup in Sapporo. The 51-year-old Japanese will make his 570th World Cup appearance the next day.
Kasai already holds the age record in the ski jumping World Cup. The 1992 ski flying world champion also competed in his 569th jump - also a world record - in the first league in Sapparo at the age of 47. He celebrated his last victory in 2014 at the ages of 42 and 44, both by far the oldest jumper in history.
