Ski jumping
Austria’s jumpers also demonstrated their current supremacy in the World Cup in the second team competition this season. Daniela Iraschko-Stolz, Marita Kramer, Eva Pinkelnig and Chiara Hölzl won on Saturday in Ljubno, Slovenia. Unlike the triumph in Zao a month ago, the decision this time was much tighter.

In the end, the Austrian quartet with 1,008.7 points was only 3.6 points ahead of the hosts from Slovenia. World Cup leader Hölzl, who won the youngest four individual competitions, brought the second team win of the season to dry with a jump to 88.5 meters in the decision. Third place went 48.5 points behind the Austrians to Norway.
The “match winner” from an Austrian perspective was not Hölzl, but Pinkelnig, who laid the foundations for the new triumph on the normal hill of Ljubno with jumps of 93.0 and 92.0 meters. Among the Slovenians, Nika Kriznar, in particular, held out with 92.0 and the daily maximum of 94.0 meters. However, it lost to the Japanese quartet, which had been disqualified in the first round due to an irregular suit by Yuki Ito.
