World Cup 2024/25: Lillehammer

 

The wait is over and the World Cup 2024/25 season officially begins, with the Norwegian ski jumper Marius Lindvik set to take part in his home event in Lillehammer, Norway. On Friday, Norway fielded Marius Lindvik, Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal, Anna Odine Strøm and Eirin Maria Kvandal in the Mixed Team. Marius, who jumped fourth in the Norwegian team lineup, jumped 137.5 m in the 1st Round and 131.5 m in the Final Round. Norway finished 2nd with a total score of 1075.1 points, behind Germany and ahead of Austria. On Saturday, Marius qualified 3rd in the qualification, jumping 136.0 m and scoring 141.4 points. In the 1st Round he ranked 8th, jumping 131.0 m and scoring 148.5 points, enough to qualify for the Final Round. In the Final Round he ranked 18th, jumping 120.5 m, scoring 134.3 points and scoring 282.8 points in total. Finally, on Sunday, in the qualification Marius qualified 4th, jumping 134.5 m and with a score of 135.2 points. In the 1st Round he ranked 13th, jumping 128.5 m and with a score of 122.8 points, enough to qualify for the Final Round. In the Final Round he ranked 11th, jumping 125.0 m, with a score of 121.7 points and with a total score of 244.5 points. Marius Lindvik's season in the World Cup didn't start well. He started strong in qualifying, but then disappointed in the competition for two reasons: wind in the competition on Saturday and poor visibility due to snowfall in the competition on Sunday. The only consolation the Norwegian ski jumper has is the podium obtained in the Mixed Team. The season has only just begun and anything can happen. 

Until next time!
