Do you live in the past?

Tradition for it?
Yep. Finland is going the way Sweden when it comes to ski jumping. People in power decided to basically deprive juniors from resources and went all in adult international competitors couple decades ago. A lot like Slovaks did with their ice hockey teams.

kamikazes and cannon fodder.

Well you're still above countries like Kazakhstan or Italy or the USA with no ski jumping tradition

Because we realized that we would always be shit at big sports, so it is better to win every irrelevant wintersport instead.

Because there is no money in this "sport"
> As with the previous season, the International Ski Federation (FIS) allocated roughly €62,700 per singles competition in the Top 30 for the 2018/19 World Cup. The winner receives around €8,700, whereas thirtieth place gets about €87. The figure for team and mixed competitions is €61,000, which is split between the four members of each of the three best teams.

Being introduced in this season is prize money for coming top in qualifying. This is worth around €2,600, but for ski flying this increases to roughly €4,400.
