After 21 out of 22 starters: Flying women canceled

Measure of all things: Nika Prevc

Only world record player Nika Prevc was still up in Vikersund. Selina Freitag was in the lead – then it comes to the demolition.

Windchaos in Vikersund: When the women ski flying on the giant bakers in Norway, the first round was canceled after 21 out of 22 jumpers. Violent gusts initially caused various interruptions.

After all, Slovenia’s world record player Nika Prevc could not jump after a long break, the upward was far too strong. Since there was no improvement in sight for the next few hours, the jury broke off the competition and stroked the previous results.

Bitter: Vice World Champion Selina Freitag (Oberwiesenthal) was in the lead at that time. PrevC, which had improved the world record to 236.0 m the day before, is currently so superior that it would have been flown to the 20th World Cup victory on their 20th birthday in somewhat regular conditions.

The competition should be made up for. It is unclear whether this will happen on Saturday or Sunday. The men’s competition is scheduled for 5 p.m.
