A training session is taking place today before the historic first competition of ski jumpers at the airport in Vikersund. Ema Klinec flew 203 meters in her second attempt! This is, of course, a women’s world record.
After Friday’s practice was canceled due to the newly fallen snow, today there is more luck with the weather and the wind. In the first training series, the jumpers were still getting to know the device, so there were no extreme distances. Silje Opseth and Alexandria Loutitt had the best distance with 186.5 meters.
In the first attempt, Ema Klinec landed at 172 meters, and in the second, with 203 meters, she became the first woman to officially jump the 200-meter mark!
The last training series is currently underway. The match will take place on Sunday at 10 a.m. and will be broadcast on TV SLO 2.
| In the summer of both Slovenian women | first attempt | second attempt | third attempt |
| Nika CRUSADER | 154.5 m (5th) | 158.0 m (10th) | |
| Emma KLINEC | 172.0 m (6th) | 203.0 m (1st) |
Ema Klinec is leading the Norwegian tour before Sunday’s last match.
Only the top 15 in the Norwegian tour have the right to perform at the airport, including Juki Ito (she was disqualified in the previous match, but her teammates stood up for her), who flew first and had the second achievement at 182.5 meters.
We remind you that Daniela Iraschko already flew 200 meters 19 years ago in Kulm, but of course not in an official competition.
