21-year-old Norwegian Marius Lindvik turned the Ski Jumping world upside-down with his second win three days. On Saturday, Lindvik won in an outstanding manner on the Bergisel in Innsbruck (AUT) ahead of Poland's Dawid Kubacki and Daniel Andre Tande (NOR).
The 20 000 fans saw a true Ski Jumping nail-biter on the Bergisel-hill. In the end, the new star from Norway set the second highlight in just three days with his jumps of 133 m and 120.5 m (253.3 points).
Marius Lindvik said after the competition: "I really found my shape here during the 4-Hills-Tournament and I hope I can continue this way in Bischofshofen. It's fun to look at the overall ranking now, but it's a large gap between me and Dawid Kubacki. I try not to think that much about the overall title, but the chance is there now. I've never jumped in Bischofshofen before, that will be fun."
After his two third places in the first two competitions, Dawid Kubacki finished second today. With this result, he also took the lead in the overall ranking of the 4-Hills-Tournament as the two top favorites Ryoyu Kobayashi of Japan and Karl Geiger of Germany lost many points in difficult conditions in the first round.
Kubacki now leads the overall ranking with 830.7 points, followed by Marius Lindvik (9.1 points behind) and Karl Geiger (13.3 points behind Kubacki). Theoretically, Ryoyu Kobayashi also still has a chance to claim the title in the final event on Monday, he is currently 13.7 points behind Kubacki. It will be an extremely exciting final in Bischofshofen.
Karl Geiger said: "It was a difficult competition and my jumps were also not on the highest level, which makes it tough. The second jump was better and I could make up for a few points. It just didn't go well for me here, it was not my best day. Now I'm a few points behind, but when I can show two good jumps in Bischofshofen, then I'm satisfied."21-year-old Norwegian Marius Lindvik turned the Ski Jumping world upside-down with his second win three days.

Auf dem Bergisel gewann Lindvik am Samstag in überragender Manier vor dem Polen Dawid Kubacki und Daniel Andre Tande (NOR).
Es war unglaublich spannendes Springen, das die 20.000 euphorischen Zuschauer am Bergisel erlebten. Am Ende sorgte zum zweiten Mal nach Garmisch-Partenkirchen der junge Norweger für das Highlight. Er selbst dazu: "Ich habe während der Tournee meine Form gefunden und ich hoffe, ich kann in Bischofshofen so weitermachen. Es macht Spaß jetzt auf die Gesamtwertung zu schauen, aber der Abstand zwischen mir und Dawid Kubacki ist groß. Ich versuche nicht so viel an den Gesamtsieg zu denken, aber die Chance ist jetzt da. Ich bin noch nie in Bischofshofen gesprungen, das wird Spaß machen."
Auch Dawid Kubcki war wieder ganze vorne dabei und konnte zum dritten Mal bei dieser Tournee auf das Podest springen. Damit übernahm er auch die Tournee-Gesamtwertung von Ryoyu Kobayashi, der im ersten Durchgang, wie Karl Geiger einige Punkte einbüßen musste.
In der Tournee-Gesamtwertung führt Kubacki nun mit 830,7 Punkten vor Marius Lindvik (-9,1 Punkte) und Karl Geiger (-13,3 Punkte) und Ryoyu Kobayashi (-13,7 Punkte). Man darf also gespannt sein, wer dieses Jahr den goldenen Adler mit nach Hause nehmen darf.
Der immer noch stärkste Deutsche Karl Geiger sagte nach dem Bewerb: "Es war ein schwieriger Wettkampf und auch meine Sprünge waren nicht auf dem höchsten Niveau, dann wird es gleich zäh. Der zweite Sprung war wieder besser und ich konnte wieder ein paar Punkte gutmachen. Es ist hier halt unglücklich gelaufen, es war nicht mein bester Tag. Ich bin jetzt einige Punkte zurück, aber wenn ich in Bischofshofen zwei gute Sprünge mache, dann bin ich zufrieden."
