Lahti: Successes for Norway, Kos and Hörl

2024-03-04 · 08:58

Lovro Kos and Jan Hörl secured the individual World Cup victories. Victory in the team went to the Norwegian quartet.

The programme in Lahti included two individual World Cup competitions, one as a rescheduled competition for the World Cup in Szczyrk, which had to be cancelled due to the wind conditions, and one team competition. The competitions in Finland were also characterised by changeable wind conditions.

Friday - Individual competition

Stefan Kraft, who had previously won the qualification, was one of the main victims of the wind. He landed in 49th place after the first round and was thus eliminated surprisingly early.

Instead, Norway's Marius Lindvik was in the lead halfway through the competition. In the end, he finished in fourth place. Lovro Kos from Slovenia secured victory with a strong second jump of 133.3 metres and a total score of 262.5 points. They were followed by Germany's Andreas Wellinger (257.1 points) and Japan's Ryōyū Kobayashi (254.9 points).

Saturday - Team competition

The second team event of the season was dominated early on by the Norwegians. The hill record holder from Lahti, Johann André Forfang, set an exclamation mark right at the start. He managed a jump of 135.5 meters, the longest of the day. His teammates Halvor Egner Granerud, Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal and Marius Lindvik were also able to deliver their performance and so the Norwegian team was able to celebrate first place.

Second place went to the Austrian quartet consisting of Daniel Tschofenig, Stephan Embacher, Jan Hörl and Stefan Kraft.

Third place went to Pius Paschke, Stephan Leyhe, Philipp Raimund and Andreas Wellinger from Germany.

Sunday - Individual competition

In the final second individual competition, Jan Hörl was in first place after the first round. He did not let the victory slip from his grasp later on and thus secured the third World Cup victory of his career.

Peter Prevc finished in second place, just like the previous weekend in Oberstdorf. The podium was completed by Poland's Aleksander Zniszczoł, who stood on the World Cup podium for the first time in his career.

Japan's Noriaki Kasai also secured two World Cup points once again. He set a new record in the process: At 51 years, 8 months and 26 days, he is the oldest athlete to score World Cup points.

To the official final result

Next up is the "Raw Air Tournament" in Norway. The first stop here is the jumping event in Oslo from March 8 to 10.
