In the Ski Jumping Women's World Cup, the second individual race was held in Russia, and Japanese ace Sara Takanashi was fifth.
The Ski Jumping Women's World Cup was held in Russia on the 27th at a normal hill with a hill size of 97 meters for the second individual race.
Four Japanese athletes participated, including Ace Takanashi, who is aiming for the first overall victory in five seasons in the year of the Beijing Olympics, which will start in February next year, and Yuki Ito, who is aiming to participate in the Olympic Games for the third consecutive tournament.
Of these, Takanashi flew 86 meters in the first time under difficult conditions where the wind direction changed rapidly, and was ranked 4th by 8.6 points from the top.
It was the second time I aimed for a reversal, but I couldn't extend the flight distance, and with 86 meters 50 and a total of 204.1 points, I dropped one place to 5th place.
In addition, Kaori Iwabuchi was 13th, Ito was 22nd, and Yuka Seto was not able to advance to the second time by the top 30 players.
The winner was Slovenian Ema Klinec.
Takanashi "needs practice"
Sara Takanashi said, "I couldn't start well and it was a jump to explore without timing. It was better than the first match, but I think it needs practice because I haven't done it yet."
After finishing two races this season, he analyzed, "I feel that the level of overseas players has risen, so I don't know who will win. First of all, I have to adjust to the jumping platform. Technique alone does not work." I did.
