Previous Oslo – FIS Ski Jumping World Cup Coverage
Jessica Jerome wasn’t able to replicate the top three finish from earlier this week in Rasnov but she didn’t fall too far down the standings either. Her first and second jumps were very similar with a slight increase of four points from the first to second jump. Jerome was 11th after her first jump but was ninth best on her second to finish 10th for the event. She was 13 points behind third in the final standings.
On the men’s side it was a better day for Anders Johnson though he still didn’t advance from the qualification round. Johnson came close in 43rd but was still about five points behind the score he needed with a 97.4. Alexander finished 52nd about 20 points behind the qualification score of the 40th place jumper.
The women will be back in action next week at Falun with two events (Saturday and Sunday). The men are off on the World Cup schedule until Thursday the 20th when they’ll have qualifying at the final stop of the year. In the meantime the FIS Ski Flying World Championships will be held starting Thursday the 13th and running until the 16th. No Americans competed at the last FIS Ski Flying World Championships in 2012 but that doesn’t mean they won’t this year, we’ll know later in the week.
