In an exciting ski jumping in Villach on January 6, 2025, Eva Pinkelnig shows an impressive performance. The Dornbirner jumps with a best width of 97 meters and thus secures her 16th World Cup victory, which she catapults into fourth place in the overall ranking. "It is one of the most important victories over myself and over my head," says Pinkelnig, emphasizing that she simply focused on her jumps. Your team did everything right, which led to this surprising success, according to the athlete in the interview, as vorarlberg.orf reported.

Another highlight of the day was the appearance of Jacqueline Seifriedsberger, who is on the podium for the first time this season. She jumps to third place with a strong second attempt and thus overtakes her teammate Lisa Eder, who ended up fourth. The German Katharina Schmid, who crosses the finish line just before the Slovenin Nika Prevc, secures the victory. Seifriedsberger is overjoyed: "I have already fallen a stone from the heart. It was really a cool second jump, at home on the Stockerl, there is nothing better," she says. Despite the challenges when changing to small ski jumps, she plans to continue at the next competition on the Epiphany as before, such as Laola1.at reported.

Overall, the event in Villach shows an exciting competition in which both established athletes and aspiring talents demonstrate their skills.
