Home victory for Nika Prevc in Ljubno

Slovenian festival in Ljubno! Nika Prevc jumped 92 and 89 meters and with 276.8 points achived her sixth World Cup victory. The previous day's winner Eva Pinkelnig reached 90 and 92 meters and finished second with 271.7 points. Prevc's team colleague Nika Kriznar took third place with 89.5 and 89 meters and 268.9 points and took a double podium for the hosts.

"They are great feelings that I find very difficult to describe. I hope I can enjoy it for a very long time. The spectators were great and hard to ignore when you're sitting on top of the hill. I hope everyone had a lot of fun," said Prevc after her success, which means she now has the most individual victories of any Slovenian. Canada and Japan also had two jumpers in the top ten with Alexandria Loutitt and Abigail Strate (fourth and eighth) and Yuki Ito and Sara Takanashi in fifth and sixth place respectively. Lisa Eder also secured the same for Austria in ninth place.

Jenny Rautionaho from Finland finished seventh for her seventh top ten result of the season, while Anna Rupprecht finished tenth to make it into the top ten for the fourth time this winter. Selina Freitag equaled her best result of the season in twelfth place, while Katharina Schmid finished 13th. Luisa Görlich just missed out on the top 20 in 21st, while Juliane Seyfarth finished 25th.

The remaining three ÖSV jumpers Jacqueline Seifriedsberger, Julia Mühlbacher and Chiara Kreuzer finished in the middle of the field in eleventh, 18th and 23rd. The other Slovenians Katra Komar (19th), Taja Bodlaj (20th and thus the best World Cup result ever), Tina Erzar (22nd) and Ajda Kosnjek (28th) fared similarly. The Italian team result was also pleasing: with Annika Sieff (16th), Lara (26th) and Jessica Malsiner (29th), as well as Martina Ambrosi (30th), all four Azzurri finished in the World Cup points. For Ambrosi, it was her first ever World Cup point.
