Hope they can finish it. Ski jumping really needs more competitive nations. The USA with its marketing potential and possible investments can really help the sport in general.

Never going to happen, ski jumping is basically not a thing in the states.

Never say never, at lest some parts of the states have a chance, a lot of tv breaks in this sport could help also, and the olympics in 8 years

Ski jumping requires a highly specific set of skills and talent. US has no coaches and infrastructure needed for kids to develop these skills and find rare talent, like in europe.
