Timi Zajc and Ema Klinec were able to defend their titles at the Slovenian Ski Jumping championships in Kranj on Tuesday.
With a jump of 108 m on the HS 109, Timi Zajc was already the leader after the first round and he could then secure the win with 105 m in the final and a total of 286.4 points.
"I'm a bit surprised because I didn't expect that I would be able to keep up with the best. My jumps are not perfect yet, I still have a lot of room for improvement", the 20-year-old is quoted on the website of the Slovenian Ski Association.
Well behind the winner, Rok Justin finished second with 104.5 m and 104 m and 277.8 points, the third place went to Bor Pavlovcic with 103.5 m and 110 m and 273.6 points.
Ziga Jelar, Anze Lanisek, and Jan Bombek came in on the places four to six.
In the women's competition, Ema Klinec was in a league of her own. With 110.5 m and 106 m and 292.1 points, the 22-year-old took a clear win ahead of Ursa Bogataj (108.5 m and 100.5 m; 265.9 points) and Nika Kriznar (97.5 m and 104 m; 249.2 points).
Nika Krinzar, Marcel Strzinar, Ema Klinec, and Rok Oblak took the win for SSK Ziri in the mixed team event with 986.3 points, followed by SSK Ilirija 2 (Spela Rogelj, Rok Masle, Ursa Bogataj, Lovro Kos; 980.8 points) and SK Triglav 1 (Katja Markuta, Cene Prevc, Nika Prevc, Peter Prevc; 826.1 points).
