The Slovenian world champion Nika Prevc is also clearly too strong in Lahti.
Ski jumper Selina Freitag flew onto the podium again on the penultimate day of the World Cup season. The Vice World Champion from Oberwiesenthal was second in Lahti, Finn, and once again only had to give up the Slovenian series winner Nika Prevc.

With another victory at the final on Friday, PrevC can equalize the best brand of Japanese Sara Takanashi, who won ten times in a row in the 2015/16 season. Takanashi’s 15 season wins from the winter of 2013/14 can also reach PrevC.
Friday, which had become second behind Prevc at the World Cup in Trondheim in both individual jumping, jumped 122.0 and 121.0 m (277.4).
