The 16th round of the Women's Ski Jumping World Cup was held on the 4th in Willingen, Germany on a large hill with a hill size of 147 meters.
The Japanese players include Ito, who has two wins this season and is in second place in the individual overall rankings, Sara Takanashi, who finished second in the 15th race the previous day and reached the podium for the first time this season, and Yuka Seto. Three players participated.
Ito's first run started under rainy conditions just like the previous day, and he flew 137 meters, placing him in 4th place.
In his second attempt for a come-from-behind win, he faced a favorable headwind and greatly extended his distance to 144.50 meters, almost as close as the hill, and finished in 3rd place with a total of 215.5 points, making it his fourth podium of the season.
On the other hand, Takanashi, who was aiming for her first victory of the season, flew 138.50 meters in the erratic wind during her first attempt, putting her in a good position in second place, 7.4 points behind the leader.
However, he was unable to increase his distance in the second attempt, hitting 136 meters, and finished in 4th place.
Seto also ran 123 meters in the first race and 128 meters in the second race, placing him in 11th place.
The winner was Silje Opset, a 24-year-old from Norway, who improved her distance to 141.50 meters in the first attempt and 150 meters in the second, resulting in her first victory of the season with a total of 229.8.
