She has won the overall World Cup the past two seasons. In today\u2019s competition in the large hill in Falun, Slovenia\u2019s Nika Prevc claimed her first World Cup victory of the winter.
– I\u2019m very satisfied and happy, the 20-year-old says.<\/p>\n
The VIESSMANN FIS Ski Jumping World Cup concluded on Sunday morning when the women held their historic first competition in the large hill at Lugnet.<\/p>\n
Sweden\u2019s home favorite Frida Westman finished in 21st place after jumps of 116.5 and 112.5 meters:
– My jumping today worked much better in the normal hill on Friday. It felt more stable, so if I\u2019m going to sum up my performance here in Falun, I\u2019d say it was \u2018pretty okay, says Frida Westman, who was in the stands watching the competitions when the World Championships were held in Falun in 2015.<\/p>\n
For 2027, her focus is on fighting for strong results:
– The hill was really nice today, and it feels very good that we get to test the hills to be prepared for what awaits at the 2027 World Championships, Westman says.<\/p>\n
The battle for victory was, just like in the normal hill on Friday, between Japan\u2019s Nozomi Maruyama and Slovenia\u2019s Nika Prevc. Maruyama had won all three World Cup events so far this season. But today Prevc struck back. She led after the first round, and in the second she flew farther than anyone else, landing at 132 meters \u2013 a new hill record:
– I\u2019m very satisfied and happy, and the hill record is cool. It\u2019s something I value very highly, says the accomplished 20-year-old.<\/p>\n
Prevc has won the overall World Cup the past two seasons, and at the World Championships in Trondheim earlier this year she won gold in both the normal hill and the large hill.
– This was my first time competing in Sweden. It has been a lot of fun. I\u2019m not sure what today\u2019s victory means in terms of the World Championships here in 2027. There are many competitions before then, says Prevc.<\/p>\n
The women\u2019s ski jumping World Cup continues in Wis\u0142a, Poland, on December 4.<\/p>\n
