Ski jumper Eva Pinkelnig landed on the podium for the twelfth time this season at the World Cup in Trondheim on Wednesday!
The 35-year-old from Vorarlberg jumped to third place on the large hill at the 2025 World Cup venue; the day before she had come second on the normal hill. Pinkelnig only had to admit defeat to the Slovenian Nika Prevc and the Norwegian local hero Eirin Maria Kvandal. Meanwhile, Prevc took a big step towards overall World Cup victory. Three competitions before the end of the season, Prevc is now 194 points ahead of defending champion Pinkelnig, who missed out on victory by 3.4 points. Here is the final score (click on images to enlarge): “But we still have some catching up to do!” The red-white-red The hopeful celebrated her double podium finish in Trondheim. “I’m happy, Trondheim suits me. Everyone is very nice here and I’m really looking forward to the World Cup next year. But we still have a bit of catching up to do if you compare it with the men,” she said in view of the ÖSV Adler’s quadruple success and laughed. Pinkelnig spoke of an “incredible season”, was looking forward to the “Monsterbakken” in Vikersund and was aiming for a 200-meter jump. Jacqueline Seifriedsberger finished eleventh as the second-best Austrian. In the Raw Air rankings, Kvandal, who had previously won the qualifying in a dominant manner, extended her lead over second-placed Pinkelnig to 53.5 points two competitions before the end. Now the ski jumpers are going to Vikersund for ski flying at the weekend, where, in addition to Pinkelnig and Seifriedsberger, Lisa Eder and Sara Marita Kramer are also qualified.
