She failed due to a positive corona test, as did teammate Juliane Seyfarth. Despite the disqualification of Slovenia, the German team had nothing to do without the two top jumpers and ended up finishing fifth with a clear deficit.
Backlog is growing rapidly
After the first round, the German quartet was around 17 points behind the third-placed Japanese, who also lost third place to Slovenia.
After the second jumps it was almost 73 points on the podium. Nevertheless, Luisa Görlich (twice 75.5 meters), Josephin Laue (78.5 and 75.5 meters at her World Cup premiere), Anna Rupprecht (76.5 and 80 meters) and Selina Freitag (twice 78.5 meters) showed a solid and balanced competition.
Kramer with a strong comeback, Bogataj again the best
The Austrian team had the best day, benefiting from the return of the leader in the overall World Cup, Marita Kramer. In Beijing, the 20-year-old was missing due to corona, when she made her comeback she was one of the best jumpers in the competition with 87.5 and 87 meters.
Once again, the performance of Olympic champion Ursa Bogataj was unbeatable. With 95 and 86 meters, the Slovenian was by far the best jumper and is the big favorite in the individual competition on Saturday.
