Clemens Aigner (AUT)
How does Clemens Aigner get into his Raw Air? Not optimal. Shortly after the table, the skis are a little too steep and slow down a bit. So at 121 meters he doesn’t come close to the previous best distances.
17:15
Dawid Kubacki (POL)
Dawid Kubacki ensures that Jelar’s stay in the leaders’ box is short. He adds another half a meter and also receives fewer deductions in wind compensation.
17:14
Ziga Jelar (SLO)
Ziga Jelar fought his way back into the team via the Continental Cup and shows that he deserves his place in the World Cup. In the air he lies really well over his battens and can build up a good cushion. With 129.5 meters and three times the 18.0 in the posture, he is the new leader.
17:13
Ulrich Wohlmentioned (AUT)
Ulrich Wohlmentioned was able to unpack really strong jumps in Lahti and he can also do well in Lillehammer. His 125 meters doesn’t look like much in comparison at first, but since he gets fewer deductions for the wind, that’s still enough for fifth place.
17:12
Daiki Ito (JPN)
Even the next veteran easily manages this hurdle. After 124 meters and good grades, he places himself directly behind Ammann.
17:12
Simon Ammann (SUI)
Simon Ammann’s distance of 127 meters was really good again, but due to a few deductions for the landing he is still in eighth place. In competition, of course, he is safe.
17:11
Vladimir Zografski (BUL)
Vladimir Zografski cannot keep up with the last good jumps. The Bulgarian leaves a lot behind in the inrun and starts off very slowly in comparison. So he can then pick up little speed at the table. After 117 meters he has to hope that a few more starters will be missed.
17:10
Fredrik Villumstad (NOR)
Fredrik Villumstad is clearly happier in the outrun. At 126.5 meters he is very close to the current leader.
17:09
Robin Pedersen (NOR)
Robin Pedersen is in the competition with 120.5 meters, but he shouldn’t be completely satisfied with it. He was able to deliver better jumps in Lillehammer.
17:09
Keiichi Sato (JPN)
Keiichi Sato attacks Nousiainen’s current best. He goes to a high height after the take-off and stays on top of it even after minor mistakes. He puts 128 meters cleanly in the snow and thus ranks second.
17:08
Niko Kytosaho (FIN)
Things seem to be going much better for the Finns towards the end of the season. While you usually had to fight to take part in the competition, with Niko Kytösaho the third Finnish athlete is sure to be in the final. 126 meters were enough for him.
17:07
Antti Aalto (FIN)
Antti Aalto is the next Finn to miss the starting bar. With 122 meters, he delivers a solid attempt that also brings him safely into the competition.
17:06
Pavel Wasek (POL)
But he doesn’t do him that favor. Pawel Wasek also offers a technically good jump and after 127 meters and position three is definitely in the competition.
17:05
Artti Aigro (EST)
Artti Aigro cannot keep up with his training colleague, but with 119 meters his chances of making it into the competition are good. He only has to pass one starter for this goal.
17:04
Eetu Nousiainen (FIN)
Eetu Nousiainen was able to convince with some strong jumps last week and today it fits together really well for the Finn! It lies very calmly in the air and can ultimately fly a great 129 meters.
17:04
Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes (CAN)
Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes is the next athlete not to lose his ticket to the competition. He also goes far down the slope with a nice updraft. With 122.5 meters and third place, he has his “Q” in his pocket.
17:03
Giovanni Bresadola (ITA)
Giovanni Bresadola does not do him this favor. The Italian made a really good jump for his standards and took second place with 126 meters just behind Semenic.
17:02
Stefan Hula (POL)
The veteran from the Polish team, on the other hand, still has to wait and see whether it will be enough for the competition. After 116.5 meters he would have to leave four athletes behind.
17:01
Anze Semenic (SLO)
Two starters have already qualified for the competition, the third is Anže Semenič from the Slovenian team, who can reach the new maximum distance of 126 meters.
17:01
Fatih Arda Ipcioglu (TUR)
Fatih Arda İpcioğlu also seems a bit tired now and he can no longer manage the very clean jumps. In the air, it wobbles significantly in the second flight phase. After 104.5 meters his jump is over early.
17:00
Muhammet Irfan Cintimar (TUR)
Muhammet Irfan Cintimar opens for the duo from Turkey, which has competed regularly in the World Cup for the first time this year. Cintimar is considered the weaker of the two starters and will certainly not be in the competition after 103 meters.
16:59
Sabirzhan Muminov (KAZ)
Sabirzhan Muminov, on the other hand, will be able to pack up. In Lillehammer he will not be used again after a short jump on 101.5 meters.
16:59
Casey Larson (USA)
For his part, Casey Larson will have to wait and see whether his jump will make it into the top 50 athletes. After 114.5 meters he is currently seventh in the classification.
16:58
Alex Insam (ITA)
Alex Insam ensures a change at the top. The young Italian gets into his jump well and can show the 123 meters. The telemark isn’t given top marks, but it’s enough to put 0.6 points ahead of Juroszek.
16:57
Kevin Bickner (USA)
Kevin Bickner can’t take his lead from Juroszek either. With 120.5 meters, however, he is at least further up the list of results.
16:56
Daniel Andrei Cacina (ROU)
You can see that the Romanians don’t have the training facilities on large facilities at home. After 98 meters, Daniel-Andrei Cacina will also not be represented in tomorrow’s competition.
16:55
Viktor Polasek (CZE)
Viktor Polášek is doing much better and is the next athlete who can make a respectable jump here. However, his 120 meters are not enough to secure the lead in the classification. ER ranks third.
16:55
Matthew Soukup (CAN)
Matthew Soukup doesn’t get much further down the landing slope either. With 111.5 meters he will probably have to watch too.
16:54
Sergey Tkachenko (KAZ)
Sergey Tkachenko has a lot of momentum when he gets clearance from his coach. But he can’t use it and with a style where he lies far between the skis, he can hardly build up an air cushion to carry him. At 107 meters, he is far behind.
16:53
Francesco Cecon (ITA)
The jury is pushing the pace and with Francesco Cecon the next starter is already in the air. For him, however, the jump ended much earlier.
16:53
Kacper Juroszek (POL)
Kacper Juroszek is anything but calm in flight, but in the end the Pole still manages a solid distance, which he acknowledges with a thumbs-up. He is 0.2 points ahead of the previous leaders.
16:52
Andrei Feldorean (ROU)
The young Romanian is no different. For Andrei Feldorean, the jump is already over on the front part of the hill. 90 meters will not be enough for him to be allowed to get involved again tomorrow.
16:51
Kevin Maltsev (EST)
Kevin Maltsev is the first international starter at today’s start but doesn’t have much in common with what the Norwegian athletes have already shown. After 98.5 meters he has to take last place.
4:50 p.m
Anders Hare (NOR)
But Anders Håre now ensures that there is a new name at the top. Håre, who has already competed in a number of World Cups this winter, comes down to 122 meters with calm flying and plenty of wind support.
16:49
Joacim Ødegård Bjøreng (NOR)
Joacim Ødegård Bjøreng showed good jumps in training, but now his attempt ends early after he has a lot to do in the air. So teammate Heggli remains at the top.
16:48
Benjamin Ostvold (NOR)
Benjamin Østvold will not be satisfied with what came out on his home hill. A few meters after the take-off, the right ski goes away and costs him a lot of meters.
16:47
Special Rings (NOR)
Sondre Ringen does not come close and he has to stop landing after 109.5 meters. He’ll have to wait to see if that’s enough for the competition.
16:47
Bendik Jakobsen Heggli (NOR)
Bendik Jakobsen Heggli is the next starter in today’s qualification and he can already climb a lot more meters. At 114.5 meters, he clearly overtakes his teammates.
16:46
Solve Jokerud Strand (NOR)
The national group of Norwegians will kick off the qualification. With 103 meters, the 21-year-old has not yet fully exploited the potential of the opportunity. A total of 69 athletes are at the start.
16:38
That’s how the training went
Before the qualification, the athletes had the opportunity to approach the hill in two training sessions. Halvor Egner Granerud won the first round with a jump of 134 meters ahead of Timi Zajc. The Slovenian jumped to 139 meters, but had two hatches more approach. Stefan Kraft was third. The second training session was canceled after 28 athletes due to strong winds. The qualification should still start on time.
16:36
Three Swiss at the start
After only Killian Peier and Gregor Deschwanden started for Switzerland in Lahti, the team received reinforcements from Simon Ammann at the first Raw Air competition.
4:30 p.m
Kraft leads ÖSV team
The Austrian team is led by Stefan Kraft, who was in top form last time in Lahti. Jan Hörl, Daniel Huber, Manuel Fettner, Philipp Aschenwald, Clemens Aigner and Ulrich Wohlmentioned strengthen the diverse team. Daniel Tschofenig is not in the squad. He competes at the Junior World Championships in Zakopane, Poland.
16:23
Wellinger back in the team
In the German team there is a change in team for the World Cups in Lahti. Pius Paschke loses his place in the team at Raw-Air. But Andreas Wellinger slips into the six-man squad. Markus Eisenbichler and Karl Geiger certainly want to take advantage of all the opportunities. But Severin Freund and Constantin Schmid have also recently recorded an upward trend. The team is completed by Stephan Leyhe.
16:17
Raw Air Tour returns
After the early cancellation in 2020 and the compulsory Corona break last winter, the Raw Air Tour is back this year. The ski jumpers can expect a total of four competitions and three qualifications in the shortened version of the tour. Trondheim and Vikersund are not on the tour program this year. In Trondheim the hill is being renovated, in Vikersund the Ski Flying World Championships will take place next weekend. The prize money is 60,000 euros.
16:03
Welcome!
Hello and welcome to the first leg of this year’s Raw Air Ski Jumping Tour. At 16:45 in Lillehammer the qualification will take place.
