Ski jumping in Sapporo
ÖSV eagle jumps onto the podium in Kobayashi’s victory
Ryoyu Kobayashi prevented the next Austrian ski jumping victory at his home World Cup in Sapporo on Saturday. The Japanese athlete achieved this in superior style with jumps of 137 and 136.5 m, relegating Jan Hörl to second place by 19.7 points. Domen Prevc from Slovenia came third, just 0.1 points ahead of World Cup leader Daniel Tschofenig
Stefan Kraft finished sixth and Manuel Fettner was the fourth ÖSV man in the top ten in eighth place.
Kobayashi had already taken a clear lead over Prevc, Hörl and Tschofenig after the first run and confirmed this with ease. The 28-year-old Japanese athlete is thus getting into shape in time for the World Championship dress rehearsal.
Hörl was able to make up some ground on Tschofenig in the battle for the overall World Cup.
