Chiara Hölzl jumps into yellow jersey

After her second victory on the large hill in Oberstdorf (GER), Chiara Hölzl took over the yellow jersey from the second-placed Maren Lundby (NOR, Fischer). Third place went to Marita Kramer (AUT, Fischer).

In a competition with a constant change between headwind and tailwind and constant rain, Chiara Hölzl took the next win and also the yellow jersey for the first time - before today's jumping there were only five points between Lundby and Hölzl. After her 127.5 meters in the first round, the Austrian shrugged her shoulders after jumping 141.5 meters yesterday, but it was enough to take the lead after round one because of the clearly shortened inrun length. In the final, the Austrian landed just before the green line that showed Maren Lundby's lead, but the 22-year-old was just able to defend her lead from the first round and secure her third victory within eight days. With the clearly longest jump at 137 meters in nearly still air, the Dutch-born Marita Kramer managed to jump onto the podium from seventh place. Yuki Ito (JPN, Fischer) also improved significantly from 16th to seventh place ahead of Daniela Iraschko-Stolz (AUT, Fischer). Silje Opseth (NOR, Fischer) finished tenth.
