Sep 24, 2023·Ski Jumping
After her success on Saturday, Slovenian Nika Kriznar also won the second FIS Grand Prix on Sunday in Rasnov (ROU). Kriznar succeeded ahead of her two team mates Ema Klinec and Nika Prevc.
In contrast to the first competition in Rasnov on Saturday, Kriznar had to fight hard on Sunday and also tremble in the end, because team mate Ema Klinec had put a lot of pressure on Kriznar with a perfect final jump.
Kriznar was 0.4 points ahead of Klinec in the end: "After my jump I didn't think that it would be enough for the victory today, I was sure that my jump was too short. Then when the 1 was displayed on the scoreboard I was really surprised and happy at the same time, I am super happy after my success and also that my two teammates also made it to the podium," said Kriznar.
Kriznar with 6 wins from 6 Grand Prix competitions
The 23-year-old is already determined as the overall winner of the 2023 Grand Prix with 600 out of 600 possible points, there is still one more individual competition for the women on the 2023 Grand Prix calendar.
In Klingenthal (GER) Kriznar now wants to attack once more: "Now I want to win the competition in Klingenthal as well, that is my motivation now" said Kriznar after her sixth success in a row.
With Ema Klinec (2nd), Nika Kriznar (3rd) and Ajda Kosnjek (5th) the Slovenians dominated the competition with 4 athletes in the top 5, Katra Komar finished 10th.
