Ema Klinec won both OPA Alpen Cups this weekend in Winterberg. Ramona Straub and Barbara Klinec second and third.
The first two Alpen Cup competitions of this winter were held in Winterberg, Germany, this weekend. Winner on both days came Slovenia’s Ema Klinec.

The third place was taken by Ema’s elder sister Barbara Klinec with jumps of 73.5 and 67.5 meters. Lucienne Höppner (72.0 and 66.5 m), Pauline Hessler (64.5 and 73.0 m) and Julija Srsen (twice 68.0 m) took the places four to six. So only only jumpers from Germany and Slovenia were in the top six.
