Nathalie Armbruster has crowned her fantastic weekend with winning the coveted Seefeld triplet.
The 19-year-old, who won the World Cup on Saturday, was also unable to beat 24 hours later and was considering the trophy awarded for the first time. As an icing on the cake, she was the first German to take the lead in the overall World Cup.
After a strong jump to 97.0 m, armbruster went into the trail with a clear lead of 53 seconds to double world champion Gyda Westvold Hansen. There she expanded her lead, at the finish she was 1: 24.3 minutes ahead of the Norwegian. Third was Haruka Kasai (Japan). The serial winner Ida Marie Hagen from Norway was not at the start on Saturday.
“I would never have expected to celebrate a World Cup victory this year,” said Armbruster, who will write her Abitur in a few months – and previously fought for medals at the World Cup in Trondheim (February 26 to March 9): ” I’m so overwhelmed, I fight with tears – now they are only running down. “
The national coach was also visibly moved. “This is a historical day for us,” said Florian Aichinger on Saturday: “We worked on it for so long. We were second or third so often. You can only enjoy that.” Armbruster alone had been on the podium 14 times without ever wining.
That was also due to the Norwegian Hagen, who had won her eighth victory on Friday in the eighth competition of the season. A day later, the top favorite was disqualified due to a non -compliance with no rules.
