After ski jumping was not possible at the Continental Cup in Iron Mountain (USA) on Friday and Saturday due to the strong wind, at least one competition could be held on Sunday.
But that this also not go without problems. Because the still strong wind many breaks were neccessary and so the first round with 45 participants took about three hours.
Marinus Kraus captured the clear victory under these difficult conditions with jumps on 142.5 m and 133.5 m and a total of 292.3 points. The German celebrated his first win in the COC a day before his 21st birthday.
