Lanišek has been jumping at a very high level all season, and now he leaves Holmenkollen with a win and second place. He has already stepped on the winner’s podium 12 times this year, and for the 12th time in his career, he took second place. As he did on Saturday, he improved his ranking in the final. This time, after halfway through the test, he was fourth with 126.5 m, and his second jump measured 128.5 m.
“The jumps are at a very high level, so I have to be satisfied. Maybe today’s jumps were a little late, but nevertheless I let myself get carried away. That’s what counts. I enjoyed it,SSK member Mengeš said to TV Slovenija and continued: “I have the most reserves with myself, the ‘settings’ in my head, as I like to call them. In every match, I have to be even more confident in myself with every jump. My goals are the same throughout the season and they will not change. You just have to go from the jump jump in and enjoy it. I was calm yesterday, today as well. I’m glad it’s going this way.”

“A great race for Anžet. A superb second place with two very, very nice jumps. We just want him to continue in this rhythm. Timi also very solid, but it just didn’t ‘fit’ today. The others’ jumping wasn’t as bad as they were results. We’re at Holmenkollen and it’s a sport outside. Sometimes it works in our favor, sometimes it doesn’t. There’s still a long way to go on the tour,” added the Slovenian coach Robert Hrgota.
Jumpers move to Lillehammer, where there will be two matches. Qualifications will be held on Monday at the Olympic ski jump, and the matches will be held on Tuesday and Thursday. The Raw Air Tour will conclude at the weekend with flight tests in Vikersund.
