Tschofenig at a loss
ÖSV eagles are still flying behind in Vikersund
The German Andreas Wellinger won the Ski Flying World Cup competition in Vikersund on Saturday, celebrating his ninth World Cup victory. The best Austrian was Stefan Kraft in sixth place, while Jan Hörl finished eighth.
Manuel Fettner came twelfth and Daniel Tschofenig had to settle for 14th place. Wellinger took the lead in the raw air ranking ahead of Japan's Ryoyu Kobayashi, who finished fourth on Saturday.
Kraft made a significant leap forward with a 220-meter flight. "The second run went well, but the first still annoys me. I was too late," said the man from Salzburg in the ORF interview. Hörl, who finished second overall in the World Cup, rated his second flight as "a step in the right direction. I can build on that."
Guesswork for Fettner and Tschofenig
Fettner, on the other hand, was left guessing. "I made two good jumps from the table, but somehow I didn't manage to balance the upwind on the stem and the tailwind afterwards." Tschofenig also shook his head. "The jumps felt reasonably good, but it just doesn't work," said the overall World Cup leader.
Another Ski Flying World Cup is scheduled for Sunday in Vikersund. The following weekend, the athletes will compete in Lahti before the World Cup final in Planica a week later.
