Von WOM

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 fled the two Norwegians Anna Odine Ström and Eirin Maria Kvandal in Oberstdorf, who took second and third place. As the best Austrian, Jacqueline Seifriedsberger was able to reach eighth place, closely followed by her teammate Lisa Eder. Eva Pinkelnig, who won last year in Oberstdorf, had to be satisfied with twelfth place, such as laola1.at reported.

While the mood in the red-white-red camp was steamed due to the results, the athletes expressed their disappointment with the start of the New Year. Eder noticed: "The New Year's start could have been better", and Seifriedsberger added: "It is not quite as I am currently imagining it. It is a bit too cramped." In addition, Julia Mühlbacher missed the finale of the Top 20 after the first round, while Sara Marita Kramer and Meghann Wadsak failed in qualification, as krone.at reported.

anticipation for home world cup

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