Previous Lahti – FIS Ski Jumping World Cup Coverage

Anders Johnson had his best competitive jump since Sochi scoring an 85.6 but it was only good enough to place him 54th in the qualification round. He narrowly out jumped fellow American Nick Alexander who scored an 84.4 and placed 57th. They both were around 10 points out of qualification. They didn’t go as far as the 40th place jumper but they also lost a few points due to the wind being stronger at their backs when they jumped.

Saturday will bring a team event in Lahti but the US is not among the ten teams of four competing. Another individual event will be held on the same hill on Sunday and I expect that the Anders Johnson and Nick Alexander will be competing in that, but I have yet to see a start list and so no confirmation on that.
