opprettet på: 05.02.2013 11:53 / km

The Continental Cup stops in the Slovenian ski jumping center in Planica. The two competitions this weekend were the first international competitions on the brand-new large hill. Because it was not possible to jump on Saturday due to the heavy snowfall, both competitions were held on Sunday.

The victory in the first competition went to shooting star Stefan Kraft of Austria with 129 m and 126.5 m and a total of 238.9 points. The 19-year-old, who already attracted some attention in the World Cup this season, celebrated his sixth win the COC, the fourth this winter. "It is always nice to jump under such good conditions and the hill here in Planica is great. I hope I'll get the chance to compete in the World Cup again next week", said Kraft.
