Anna Odine Stroem became the winner of Saturday’s individual competition of the FIS World Cup at the Trambulina Valea Carbunarii hill (HS97) in Rasnov, which was ended after the first round due to difficult wind conditions. The Norwegian triumphed after a jump of 84 meters. Second place went to Eva Pinkelnig and third place was to Julia Muehlbacher.
From the beginning of Saturday’s event, the athletes had to struggle with too strong wind. The competition was interrupted many times, and was ended after the first round, which lasted over an hour and a half. None of the ski jumpers managed to get close to the construction point of the hill.

Julia Muehlbacher (83 m) stood third for the first time in her career, followed by Juliane Seyfarth (83.5 m), Ema Klinec (81 m) and Thea Minyan Bjoerseth (83.5 m).
