“It is a pity”
White, who finished fifth in the World Cup last season, took less risks in the second jump of the qualification and chose an easier jump, which she was able to stand this time. But there were only 75.98 points – not enough for the final of the top twelve. “It’s a shame, but I tried everything. It was clear that even with a really good jump it would be difficult to get to the final. But all the stress was definitely worth it.”said White.
The 22-year-old had tested positive for the corona virus on arrival in Beijing, and her CT value has fluctuated constantly since she was first infected in November. She spent the past few days separated from the German team, but was allowed to leave her room for training thanks to negative tests.
World Champion Laura Peel from Australia showed the best jump in the qualification (104.54).
