Daniela Iraschko-Stolz wins in Oberstdorf
Olympic Champion Carina Vogt missed the home victory in Oberstdorf, but she came in on a very good second place behind Austrian Daniela Iraschko-Stolz. The third place went to Sara Takanashi.
Iraschko-Stolz scored 245.2 points with her jumps on 101 m and 95 m and had a lead of 7.5 points over Vogt. She said afterwards: “It was a perfect day for me, I'm very happy about my first win this season. I had two good jumps, so far I have been jumping well in training and wasn't able to show it in the competition. I'm happy that I did that today and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.” Carino Vogt jumped on 96 m and 95.5 m and said: “The support of the audience was fantastic. This is my home town, that's why the second place is special. The new laser line is a good thing. I had the feeling I can jump even longer. This would be nice to have in all competitions. Tomorrow I would like to do as well as today, maybe even a bit better.”
Takanashi close ahead of Seifriedsberger
With jumps on the exact same distances, Sara Takanashi reached a total of 232.1 points and finished 0.6 points ahead of Jacqueline Seifriedsberger. The overall World Cup winner said: “It's my first time in Oberstdorf and I really enjoy it. The stadium is very nice. Unfortunately I was not able to show two good jumps. I was a bit too late at the take-off. I'm looking forward to tomorrow and I want to improve my performance.” Jacqueline Seifriedsberger jumped on 93 m and 96.5 m.
The fifth place went to the winner of the qualification, Taylor Henrich of Canada, with 95 m and 94 m and 222.8 points.
