I can understand it, people are at work and are going home to eat Friday tacos. It's a shame that the women's ski jumping competition is decided at this time. It's a bit sad for the girls who are going to jump, said TV expert Maren Lundby, Olympic and World Championship gold medalist, during NRK's broadcast, according to the Norwegian news agency NTB.
The final started at 2 pm at the World Championship arena Granåsen and even World Championship chief Åge Skinstad would have liked to see more spectators.
But there is good atmosphere among those who are here, said Skinstad.
Swede Frida Westman was the only blue and yellow participant in the final and the 24-year-old had as a goal to reach the top 30 in the first round to get to do a second jump. With 77.2 points after a jump of 85 meters, however, there was no continuation. Westman finished in 34th place.
Slovenian Nika Prevc took home the World Championship gold ahead of second-placed Selina Freitag, Germany, and third-placed Norwegian Anna Odine Strøm.
