Austria’s Skiadler jumped to second place in the mixed team yesterday at the start of the World Cup competitions in Willingen. Chiara Kreuzer, Eva Pinkelnig, Jan Hörl and Stefan Kraft were only beaten by Norway, the Scandinavians were 35.5 points ahead after just one round. The final round was canceled due to dangerous wind conditions, but the result still counted. Third place went to Germany.

The extreme conditions meant that the Slovenian Timi Zajc was carried by an extreme updraft to an enormous distance of 161.5 meters and fell there. The 22-year-old then gave the all-clear, but was quite shocked. Immediately afterwards, Stefan Kraft secured second place for Austria with a jump of 148.5 meters. Kreuzer had previously jumped 145 meters, Hörl came to 134, the previous women’s dominator Pinkelnig to 115.

For the ski jumping section of Asvö Höhnhart, which has been committed for years, there was a great success to celebrate at the Junior World Championships in Whistler, Canada. Julia Mühlbacher won the bronze medal in the junior women’s competition. Victory went to local hero Alexandria Loutitt ahead of Slovenia’s Nika Prevc. The 18-year-old from Mühlbach, who was thrown back at the start of the season by back problems, has already won three gold medals as a team at a Junior World Championships.

Today in Whistler the decisions of the women’s and men’s teams will follow and then the mixed competition on Sunday. Both times the Schalchenerin is back in action.
