Junior Worlds: Clear win for Slovenia
Mar 08, 2020·Ski Jumping
The men's competition was dominated by the athletes of Slovenia. Jan Bombek, who scored the most points in this event, Zak Mogel, Jernej Presecnik and Mark Hafnar showed an outstanding performance this evening and secured a clear win with 900.3 points. They had a lead of almost 30 points, and the reason it wasn't even bigger than that was a short jump in bad conditions by Mark Hafner, individual bronze medalist, in the second round.
"Today's competition was really good for the entire Slovenian team. We all did great jumps, the atmosphere was awesome, everything worked out and we won. It's amazing", the happy winners all agreed in a first statement.
The newly crowned individual World Champion Peter Resinger, who was once again the best of his team, took the silver medal for Austria today together with Josef Ritzer, David Haagen, and Youth Olympic Champion Marco Woergoetter. They scored a total of 871.3 points.
The local heroes of Germany, Luca Roth, Claudio Haas, Kilian Maerkl and Philipp Raimund, who scored the most points for his team today, won the bronze medal in front of their home crowd with 833.2 points.
In difficult wind conditions on the HS 105 normal hill, the places right behind the podium went to the teams of Norway, Japan, and Russia.
