The Nordic skiing world championships held in Planica, Slovenia will be held on the 4th in the combined men's individual large hill. Four players participated, including Akito Watabe, who won consecutive medals at the tournament.
Of these, Yamamoto caught a favorable headwind in the first half of the jump, which he is good at, and jumped 140 meters, exceeding the hill size of 138 meters, which is dangerous if he jumps any further, and finished in 2nd place, 36 seconds behind the top. .
In the second half of the 10km cross-country race, I was overtaken by the 3rd place runner at the 2km point, and after the 5km point I was overtaken by a group of five more.
In the group, Yamamoto persisted, but he was gradually pulled away by the strong overseas competitors on the uphill, and finally finished in 10th place.
Also, Akito Watanabe jumped 126m in the first half and finished 17th, 2 minutes and 48 seconds behind the leader.
Other Japanese competitors were Watanabe's younger brother, Zento, who was 23rd, and 22-year-old Sora Yachi, who was 25th.
The winner was Magnus Liebel, the Norwegian Jarl, who was the top jumper in the cross-country skiing.
Liebel won four gold medals in the men's and mixed team events.
Yamamoto: "There is an issue with running power."
Ryota Yamamoto, who finished 10th in the combined men's individual large hill, said, "It's clear that there is a problem with running ability because there was such a time difference in the jump and the ranking dropped so far. It doesn't make sense if I can't make the most of it, so I want to do my best gradually next year and the year after that," he said with regret.
