Raw Air Tournament 2024: Vikersund

 

Third and final stage of the Raw Air Tournament, which unlike Oslo and Trondheim, the Vikersund program provides differently. Friday's qualification includes 50 ski jumpers based on the Ski Flying ranking and only 40 athletes will qualify. In Sunday's competition in the 1st Round there will be 30 ski jumpers, in the 2nd Round there will be 20, while in the Final Round there will only be 10. Will Andreas Wellinger be able to make it to the end of the competition in Vikersund? On Friday, Andreas qualified 10th in the qualification, jumping 221.0 m and scoring 203.6 points. Finally, on Sunday, in the 1st individual competition he ranked 6th, jumping 216.5 m and scoring 225.8 points. In the 2nd individual competition, in the 1st Round he placed 15th, jumping 198.5 m and scoring 172.1 points, enough to qualify for the 2nd Round. In the 2nd Round he placed 9th, jumping 213.0 m and scoring 174.5 points, enough to qualify for the Final Round. In the Final Round he placed 9th, jumping 228.0 m, with a score of 220.5 points and with a total score of 567.1 points. The 1st individual competition which was scheduled for Saturday was moved to Sunday due to the wind. A decidedly positive weekend for Andreas Wellinger, who demonstrated his talent despite the wind. He still has to perfect the flight of the jump. 

Until next time!
