In the first round, however, the Austrian team had to worry when Jacqueline Seifriedsberger could not call up their usual performance. The pressure was on Jan Hörl, who finally brought the decisive turn with a jump of 134 meters in the rain. In the final decision, he even set the ski jump record with a jump of 139 meters and thus secured the bronze for Austria. "I was not often in the situation that I had to keep nerves as our last jumper," said Hörl relieved. It was a competition full of emotions that once again demonstrated the strength of the Austrian ski jumping team.
