At the Slovenia show: Insam and Bresadola in 8th place

On Friday the Ski Jumping World Cup in Oberstdorf opened with the new SuperTeam event. The athletes had to contend with difficult conditions - including the Azzurri.

Alex Insam from Val Gardena and his teammate Giovanni Bresadola from Nonsberg collected 779,4 points with their four jumps and took eighth place in the final ranking.


The victory on the Heini-Klopfer ski flying hill was secured by the Slovenian duo Timi Zajc and Domen Prevc, who achieved a start-to-finish victory with just two jumpers in the team competition introduced in the previous season. Second place went to Johann André Forfang and Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal from Norway ahead of the two Austrians Stefan Kraft and Michael Hayböck, who achieved the longest flight of the competition with a leap of 235 meters.

Normally in the Super Team each athlete jumps three times. However, strong and changing winds in the Allgäu had disrupted the competition plan. Contrary to plan, no training could take place on Thursday. The two training jumps were postponed to Friday and the competition was shortened to two instead of three flights per athlete. When it comes to ski flying, the regulations only allow four flights per athlete on the same day.

There is an individual World Cup competition on the program in Oberstdorf on Saturday and Sunday.
