Good performance for the blue in the race that closed the first period of the World Cup. The Austrian, on the other hand, achieved her fifth victory of the season, her fourth in a row, ahead of Althaus and Bogataj.

Lara Malsiner is there, and she proved it with an excellent two days on Ramsau’s Normal Hill. After a difficult start to the season and missing the points in both Lillehammer and Klingenthal, the Italian redeemed himself immediately. Ninth in qualifying yesterday, she then confirmed herself in the race where she found two good jumps that allowed her to close 12a, clearly the best result of this World Cup start.
There is always Marita Kramer there. The Austrian between Lillehammer and Klingenthal had shown that she had an edge on the big trampolines, but today she has also printed all her opponents on Normal Hill. In treacherous wind conditions Kramer closed the practice already halfway through the race and then administered in the second series. Second at 4.1 points Katharina Althaus, who scored the best score in the second jump, third at 7.7 points the Slovenian Ursa Bogataj, with Takanashi once again at the foot of the podium. Fifth Ema Klinec, ahead of Kriznar and Iraschko-Stolz, sixth ex aequo.
This is how the 13th career victory arrived for the dominatrix of the female jump. The march towards the crystal ball, which had escaped her last season, continues quickly and the only one to hold up is Althaus, who, with podiums and second places, pays 169 points from his rival. Next appointment in Ljubno, Slovenia, for two individual races on Normal Hill at the turn of the New Year.
