Double for German
Automatically saved draft
Ski jumper Lisa Eder has secured her second World Cup podium finish of the season in third place in China. As on Saturday, the victory on the Olympic normal hill in Zhangjiakou went to Germany's Katharina Schmid.
The World Champion celebrated her third victory in the fourth competition of the winter, well ahead of Slovenia's Ema Klinec, and also finished second once. Jacqueline Seifriedsberger dropped back to seventh place on Sunday as half-time runner-up. Eva Pinkelnig finished ninth.
"No longer expected it"
Eder, who had already finished third in Lillehammer, improved from ninth place to the podium in the second run. The skier from Salzburg was around eight points behind Klinec, her advantage over fourth-placed Sara Takanashi from Japan was just 1.1 points. "To be honest, I no longer expected to make it onto the podium, but of course I'm delighted," said Eder. Former serial winner Sara Marita Kramer was eliminated in qualifying in 49th place. Next weekend, two large hill competitions are on the program in Engelberg.
