Surprise Austria's ski stars: Karrer shines behind Gasser and Wolf!

In an exciting competition on the Kreischberg, three Austrian ski jumpers reached the final. Karrer showed strong nerves and secured fourth place with excellent 161.50 points, with which she exceeded the favorite Gasser, who took fifth place with 160.25 points. Gasser was particularly pleased about the success because it was the first time in her career that she is not the only Austrian participant in the final: "This is exactly the goal that young Austrian athletes meet," she said, proudly about the joint performance with her colleague Hanna. Wolf, who had already declared her career, surprised everyone and won sixth place in an impressive comeback in the World Cup, such as the Kleine Zeitung reported.

competition system and points game

Ski jumping follows a strict point system that has been implemented in the FIS World Cup ranking since 1992/1993. The point allocation takes place after the athletes placed, with the winner being rewarded with 100 points, the runner -up receives 80 points, and so on to the 30th place, which still gets a point. This system, comprehensively described by de-academic.com , ensures exciting and competitive races and is a decisive factor for calculating the overall ranking at the end of the season.

The updates in the point system have changed the dynamics of the competitions, and athletes have the opportunity to demonstrate their performance over a whole season. The introduction of this point of points has a positive impact on the competition and the development of young talents in skiing, which significantly reduces the lack of visibility of female athletes.
