First World Cup podium: Manuela Malsiner comes second in Japan

In the end, Malsiner was missing a measly 0,3 points, which would have been enough for the win. But the great Italian young hopeful also surprised everyone with second place and secured her first podium in a World Cup competition. So far she has “only” two 10th places to her name, which she achieved a week ago in Sapporo.

Malsiner was the big surprise in the first round and was in second place with 104,8 points. Nervousness? None. Because even when the young woman from Val Gardena started for the second time, she conjured up a strong jump (the sixth best in the field) on the slope and landed with a total score of 213,3 points, just behind the winner Yuki Ito (213,6). . Russian Irina Avvakumova came third (210,6).

The young woman from Val Gardena ended a long dry spell: the last time the Italian women's team celebrated a podium finish was in March 2014. Evelyn Insam took third place in Rasnov, Romania.

This same Insam couldn't get going in Zao and came 26th. Elena Runggaldier finished the competition in 19th place.
