The 4th round of the ski jumping women's World Cup individual was held in Norway on the 5th, and Japanese ace Sara Takanashi was 8th.

The Ski Jumping Women's World Cup took place on the 5th in Norway on a large hill with a hill size of 140 meters.



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 Olympics for three consecutive tournaments.



Of these, Takanashi flew 126 meters in the tailwind that was unfavorable for the first jump and placed in 7th place, 5.2 points behind the 3rd place player.



The second time I was aiming for the podium for the first time this season, the headwind was favorable for the jump, but it was only 129 meters 50, and I was 8th with a total of 242.4 points.



In addition, Kaori Iwabuchi was 12th and Ito was 27th in Japan.



On the other hand, Yuka Seto did not advance to the second time by the top 30 players.



The winner was Marita Kramer of Austria, who finished 3rd overall last season.

Takanashi "The content was good, but it didn't lead to the distance."

Sara Takanashi said, "I think the content was very good, but it wasn't easy to connect to the distance." I want to prepare well. "

12th place Iwabuchi "Flying is fun and I'm looking forward to the next one"

Kaori Iwabuchi recalled, "Large Hill was the first time this season that I felt comfortable in the distance. However, the content was not good and the approach was not decided."



On top of that, he said, "I can do it in practice, but I can't do it in the game, and there are some things that are missing, but there are some things that have changed. I'm looking forward to the next one because it's fun to fly."

27th place Ito "It's not a day when you can fly comfortably"

Yuki Ito said, "I was really looking forward to it, but the distance from the training was shortened and it was not a day when I could fly comfortably. I think I did what I can do now, but I thought it was not enough at all." I was talking.
