Ski Jumping World Cup
Young eagle our best in Engelberg! Prevc wins
Domen Prevc has confirmed his supremacy in the Ski Jumping World Cup. The Slovenian, who was only in third place at half-time, secured his fifth victory in a row on Saturday in the first of two competitions in Engelberg with 330.2 points ahead of Germany's Felix Hoffmann (326.4) and Japan's Ren Nikaido (318.1). From an Austrian perspective, only Jonas Schuster was able to stand out, with the 22-year-old Tyrolean securing his best career result in fifth place (314.9).
"I'm just mega happy, it was so cool, it was really fun. I'm glad I got it down, I'm very happy to take fifth place," said Schuster in the ORF interview. There was plenty of praise for the half-time sixth from his head coach.
"He did a great job, stays really cool, brings it down in the competition just like in training," analyzed Andreas Widhölzl. This is currently not the case for many other ÖSV athletes. "It's not so easy for them at the moment." Jan Hörl was at least somewhat satisfied with eighth place (306.8).
Embacher survived a fall unscathed
Stefan Kraft and defending overall World Cup champion Daniel Tschofenig suffered a setback in the second round, finishing 14th (291.3) and 16th (290.0). "For me, every jump feels similar, sometimes it goes better, sometimes less. It's not all coming together at the moment," said Kraft.
Here is the final score:
Stephan Embacher had an even worse day, crashing after the telemark in the second round. "It was a good day until that moment. I had too much forward momentum and then my skis pulled away. But everything is okay so far," explained the Tyrolean.
