Summer Grand Prix 2021: Schuchinsk

 

The Norwegian ski jumper Marius Lindvik has returned from vacation and is ready to take part in the Summer Grand Prix event in Schuchinsk, Kazakhstan. Both Friday's qualification and Saturday's competition were canceled due to the wind. So remained the one on Sunday, which includes two competitions. In the first competition, in the 1st Round Marius finished 2nd, jumping 97.0 m and with a score of 129.9 points and thus qualified for the Final Round. In the Final Round, Marius finished 2nd, jumping 89.0 m, with a score of 119.3 points and a total score of 242.9 points. So Marius finished 2nd, behind his teammate Halvor Egner Granerud and ahead of Bulgarian Vladimir Zografski. In the second competition, in the prologue, Marius qualified 6th, jumping 82.5 m and with a score of 108.0 points. In the 1st Round, he finished 3rd, jumping 95.0 m and with a score of 111.0 points and thus qualified for the Final Round. In the Final Round, he finished 3rd, jumping 87.0 m, with a score of 100.8 points and a total score of 211.8 points. He then finished 3rd in ex aequo with Russian Danil Sadreev and behind his teammates Halvor Egner Granerud and Robert Johansson. During the week of the Schuchinsk event, there was chaos at the Astana airport in Kazakhstan. The Norwegian team was missing bags, skis and two boxes of equipment. Gradually they arrived from Frankfurt, Germany, and just in time to take part in the Schuchinsk competition. Marius Lindvik has returned to roar like a tiger and takes home two podiums. A decidedly positive start, despite the wind having made him unbalanced in the flight of the Final Round of the second competition. Welcome back to the podium, Marius! 

Until next time!
