Nika Prevc: Sensational season finale with tenth win in Lahti!
The Ski Jumping World Cup in Lahti last Sunday offered a thrilling finale that was dominated by the exceptional athlete Nika Prevc. With her impressive victory, the 20-year-old Slovenian added impressive lines to her record. Prevc, who had already triumphed on Thursday, took their tenth victory in a row with 328.8 points and a distance of 133.5 meters, equaling the record set by the Japanese Sara Takanashi from the 2015/16 season laola1.at reported. This dominance underlines her superiority in the World Cup, where she is clearly in first place with 1933 points.
Selina Freitag from Germany took second place with 277.4 points, followed by Slovenia's Ema Klinec, who jumped to 274.4 points. Katharina Schmid, who found her way back to form after a weak phase, came fifth and only missed the podium by 4.3 points sportschau.de reported. After the competition, Schmid said that if she continues to feel so good, she would definitely like to stick to her career.
ÖSV Eagles disappointing in the final phase
While the competition for Prevc and Freitag was brilliant, the Austrian athletes were not able to convince. Jacqueline Seifriedsberger fell from fifth place to tenth place after a strong first run, and her other teammates also gave up. Eva Pinkelnig and Lisa Eder each made a small leap forward, but the big highlight failed to materialize. Julia Mühlbacher ended up in 18th place as the worst Austrian. In the Nations Cup, Germany leads with 4241 points, followed by Norway in second place and Austria in third, underlining the challenging season for the ÖSV team.
