Austria's ski jumper with a strong appearance: bronze in Lake Placid!

In the exciting mixed team competition of the ski jumper in Lake Placid, the German team, under the leadership of Selina Freitag, secured the sensational victory and became the brilliant winner with 963.6 points. After a gripping competition that stood until the last jump on knife cutting edge, the German quartet, consisting of Agnes Reisch, Philipp Raimund and Andreas Wellinger, Norway and Austria, referred to the places. The Norwegians finished second with 950.8 points, while the Austrian team with Lisa Eder, Jan Hörl, Jacqueline Seifriedsberger and Daniel Tschofenig took third place with 941.8 points, like skispringen.com reported.

After a strong first round, Austria was initially in second place, but only had a minimal gap of 5.6 points on Germany. A mistake by Jacqueline Seifriedsberger on the second jump, which only went to 113.5 meters, the ÖSV team cost valuable points and led to the lead. Tschofenig was able to increase in the final jump with 121.5 meters, but that was not enough to catch up. Andreas Wellinger completed the competition for Germany with a strong jump of 124.5 meters and thus secured the second Mixed victory for the German team this season, like laola1.at reported.

German catch -up and Austria's setback

Particularly noteworthy is the performance of Selina Freitag, which, with jumps of 124 and 126.5 meters, achieved the second best widths in both rounds and thus contributed decisively to victory. Austria, on the other hand, had to spend a notch after the deficit with Seiedriedsberger's swing jump grew to more than 20 points. While the German team remained constant in first place, Norway also took a long time to secure second place, which maintained the tension until the last second. The team competition in Lake Placid is still rounded off by the subsequent individual competitions that will be held on Sunday.
