After the victories of Chiara Hoelzl in Klingenthal and Marita Kramer on Saturday in Sapporo, Eva Pinkelnig now claimed the third win in a row for the Austrian ski jumpers. 31-year-old Pinkelnig won the second competition in Sapporo with 250.8 points, ahead of Norway’s Maren Lundby and Daniela Iraschko-Stolz (AUT).
Her jumps of 135.5 m and 130 m earned Eva Pinkelnig a lead of more than eleven points over Lundby. It was the first World Cup win for Pinkelnig in her 68th competition. «It’s a great feeling to win, I had three great jumps together with the qualification round, the hill was prepared perfectly. I’m really happy about my results. It’s my first World Cup win, I’m surprised and I can’t believe it. I woke up today and I had a good feeling.
Maren Lundby, who remains the overall World Cup leader, repeated her second place from yesterday’s competition. And like on Saturday, Lundby set a hill record. The Olympic champion landed at 139.5 m in the second round: «I’m happy about the second place. I had a really good jump in the second round. I need to continue working, but my jumps are stable. I need to take all the experiences to Zao with me.»
