  • Ruka Sprint Classic
    PRE-COMPETITION FACTS RUKA TRIPLE, FIN Stage 1: Ladies‘ / Men‘s Sprint Classic COMPETITION COURSE Ladies: 1,4 km Men: 1,4 km Bonus seconds: WEATHER FORECAST LADIES For the 10th season in a row, Ruka will host the first sprint event of the World Cup calendar (2008-2017). Marit Bjørgen (NOR) has won four of the previous 11 sprint World Cup events in Ruka (all classic style), most of all athletes and one more than Petra Majdic (SLO). Bjørgen's four sprint World Cup wins in Ruka, are joint-most for her at a single venue along with Lahti and Düsseldorf. Bjørgen is on five podium finishes in sprint World Cup events in Ruka, joint- most along with Majdic. Bjørgen has only recorded more sprint World Cup podium finishes in Davos (6) than in Ruka (5). Stina Nilsson (SWE) has won the last three sprint World Cup events (free and classic) and could become the first non-Norwegian to claim four victories in a row since Majdic in 2009. Nilsson has won each of the last five sprint World Cup events she participated in. The last time she failed to claim victory was in the sprint free in Davos on 11 December 2016 (31st). On 26 November 2016, Nilsson won the sprint classic in Ruka, her first ever World Cup victory in classic style. Only Maiken Caspersen Falla (NOR, 10) has claimed more sprint World Cup wins since the start of 2014/15 than Nilsson (9). Last season's sprint World Cup winner Falla has reached the podium in 14 of her last 15 sprint World Cup appearances with a 31st-place finish in Drammen (classic style) on 8 March as the only exception.

  • Olympia-Generalprobe Geht an Die Norweger
    Olympia-Generalprobe geht an die Norweger Nach Tande gewinnt auch Forfang in Willingen Richard Freitag verliert die Weltcup-Führung Norwegens Skispringer stellten mit Daniel Andre Tande am Samstag und Johann Andre Forfang (147,5+144,5) am Sonntag die Sieger in den beiden Einzelspringen auf der Willinger Mühlenkopfschanze und Polens umjubelter Volksheld Kamil Stoch (145,5+140,5) sicherte sich nicht nur den Gesamtsieg und die 25.000 Extra-Prämie beim erstmals ausgetragenen „Willingen Five“, sondern löste mit nunmehr 863 Punkten auch Richard Freitag (820) im Gelben Trikot des Spitzenreiters im Gesamtweltcup ab. Für die DSV-Adler lief es nach Freitags Podestplatz hinter Sieger Tande am Samstag am Sontag nicht wie gewünscht. Markus Eisenbichler (236,7) war als Sechster der Beste und auch Andreas Wellinger (233,1) kam gerade noch unter die Top Ten. Freitag aber stürzte schon im ersten Durchgang mit 128,0 m bei den schlechtesten Windbedingungen ab, kam auch im Finale nur auf 118,5 m und landete nur auf Rang 28 in der Tageswertung. Hinter Eisenbichler und Wellinger landete Willingens Lokalmatador Stephan Leyhe (138+122,5 m) auf Platz 18, auch ihn brachte ein schwächerer zweiter Sprung um einen Top Ten- Platz. „Ein Wochenende, das mit der Tagesbestweite von 143 m sehr gut begann und Auftrieb gab, an dem aber nicht alles gelungen ist. 140 und 136 m in den jeweiligen ersten Durchgängen waren gut, jetzt muss auch der zweite Wertungssprung stabiler werden“, meinte der Schwalefelder, der am Montag mit dem Team nach Pyeongchang aufbrechen wird, wo er immerhin Schanzenrekordler ist. Vier Polen, drei Norweger, zwei Deutsche und ein Slowene unterstrichen am Sonntag vor 16.200 Zuschauern den aktuellen Formspiegel vor Olympia.
