Slovenian wins
Vikersund: Kraft narrowly misses the podium
The ÖSV eagles also missed out on the podium in the second Vikersund ski flying event. Stefan Kraft finished 2.7 points behind Japan's Ryoyu Kobayashi in fourth place on Sunday. The victory after just one run was secured in superior style by Domen Prevc from Slovenia, who sailed to 247 meters. The second-placed German Andreas Wellinger won the Raw Air. In sixth place, Jan Hörl made up further ground on overall World Cup leader Daniel Tschofenig, who was only 15th.
Hörl is 94 points behind Tschofenig with three competitions to go. "I'm trying to annoy him a bit, but he's still a long way off. We will certainly fight for it," said Hörl. The man from Salzburg was "megahappy" with his jump to 218.5 m, finishing fifth in the raw air ranking as the best Austrian.
"It will certainly be exciting"
Eight-time season winner Tschofenig (203.5) once again failed to fly perfectly. "What a pity. It will be a close fight with Jan. I have to jump better to keep up, it will certainly be exciting," said Tschofenig about the season finale. The next stop is Lahti next weekend, followed by the traditional flying finale in Planica.
Kraft, who finished sixth on Saturday (228.5), regretted the unfortunate outcome of narrowly missing out on a podium place. "The flight felt very cool. But I'm a bit annoyed, it would have been time for a podium again, I would have deserved it," said Kraft. But there would have been no match for Prevc anyway, according to the man from Salzburg.
