OSLO, Norway - Norwegian ski jumper Bjorn Einar Romoren will compete at the Vancouver Olympics with a broken little finger after slamming his left hand into a wall in frustration over a disappointing jump.
The 28-year-old Romoren said Monday the fracture will pose "no problem" for him at the games despite undergoing minor surgery Sunday to set the finger.
He says he banged his hand into the wall because he was "frustrated" and "deeply disappointed" by his performance at a weekend World Cup event in Willingen, Germany.
The Norwegians are among the favourites in the team event and finished second behind Germany in Willingen on Sunday. Romoren won a bronze medal with Norway in the team event at the 2006 Turin Games.
Italy's Giuliano Razzoli takes the gold medal in the men's slalom.
Mathieu Giroux, Lucas Makowsky and Denny Morrison win a tight race with the US.
