Nika Prevc wins the New Year's competition in Oberstdorf!

The Slovenian ski jumper Nika Prevc celebrated her remarkable success in Oberstdorf on New Year's Day and thus secured the lead in the overall ranking of the "Two Nights Tour". Just 24 hours after her triumph in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, she surpassed the two Norwegians Anna Odine Ström and Eirin Maria Kvandal, who took second and third place, in Oberstdorf. As the best Austrian, Jacqueline Seifriedsberger was able to reach eighth place, closely followed by her teammate Lisa Eder. Eva Pinkelnig, who won in Oberstdorf last year, had to be content with twelfth place this time laola1.at reported.

While the mood in the red-white-red camp was subdued due to the results, the athletes expressed their disappointment at the start of the New Year. Eder remarked: "The start of the New Year could have been better," and Seifriedsberger added: "It's not quite as I imagine it at the moment. It's a little too cramped." In addition, Julia Mühlbacher missed the final of the top 20 in 28th place after the first round, while Sara Marita Kramer and Meghann Wadsak failed in the qualification krone.at reported.

Looking forward to the home World Cup

The Women's World Cup is now stopping in Austria, where there will be jumping in Villach next weekend. The ski jumpers are looking forward to the chance to show off their skills in front of their home audience. Seifriedsberger remarked: "Home World Cup is always great. I think it suits us all to jump in front of a home crowd again." It remains exciting to see how the athletes will deal with the new challenge at home.
