Ito takes the day, Takanashi the title Great day for the Japanese Ski Jumping ladies in Pyeongchang (KOR): While Yuki Ito won the first competition of the FIS World Cup on the new Olympic hill, teammate Sara Takanashi came in 2nd and made her 4th victory in the overall World Cup perfect. The third place of the day went to Ema Klinec of Slovenia. While top athletes from Germany, Austria and several other nations did not take the trip to Korea but stayed home for training for the World Championships, Yuki Ito celebrated her 4th victory of the season with jumps to 96,0 and 101,5 meters and 234,4 points. Clear win for Ito That gave her a 9,5 point advantage over Sara Takanashi who was still in the lead after the first round. Ito said afterwards: “My first jump was actually pretty good technically, in the second round I was a bit late at the take-off, but I had good conditions. I got a good feeling for this hill, but this won't be enough to win here also at the Olympics next year.” For Takanashi 97,5 and 94,0 meters still were enough for the 2nd place and an uncatchable advantage over Ito in the overall World Cup. She said: “It's really nice that the overall World Cup was already decided today. In the first round I had a good jump, in the second round I was late at the take-off. The wind conditions were okay for me, I had no problems.“ Klinec with second podium Junior-Vice-World Champion Ema Klinec took her second podium of the season with 100,0 and 96,0 meters and 218,7 points. Klinec said: “I'm really satisfied with this result. I did jump well here, also in the training. It was a difficult competition, so I had to remain focused until the end and I could come in third. I think I had bad wind in the first round right already after the take-off, so I had to work really hard in the air to jump far. Tomorrow I want to jump even better and hopefully the wind will be better as well.“ Difficult wind in Korea In partly difficult wind conditions Norway´s Maren Lundby threw away her chances of still catching up with Sara Takanashi already in the first round with a jump of 90,0 meters. 99,0 meters in the final and 215,8 points brought her a 4th place. Germany´s Ramona Straub, after the longest jump of the day to 103,0 meters in the first round still third, missed out on her first World Cup podium by 8,2 points behind Ema Klinec and came in 5th. Yuka Seto, with 208,5 points on 6th position and Kaori Iwabuchi on 9th place delivered an almost perfect team result for Japan with four athletes in the top ten. Season best for Englund and Kykkaenen Nita Englund of the United States on 7th place and Finland´s Julia Kykkaenen on 8th place where happy about their best results of the season. Gianina Ernst came in 10th, her first top ten result since 2013. Slovenia´s Maja Vtic missed out on the top ten mainly because of bad landings and came in 11th ahead of Abby Ringquist and teammate Ursa Bogataj. Ksenia Kablukova finished 14th and was best Russian ahead of the four Germans Agnes Reisch, Juliane Seyfarth, Luisa Goerlich and Pauline Hessler and Oceane Avocat Gros of France. Natasha Bodnarchuk was best Canadian on 22nd place. Point for Korean hosts Guy-Lim Park secured an important World Cup point for Korea on 30th place. With only two competitions to come, tomorrow in Pyeongchang and after the World Championships in Oslo, Sara Takanashi has 1275 points in the World Cup ranking. That gives her an uncatchable advantage of 247 points over Yuki Ito and 286 points over Maren Lundby in third place. It is the 4th overall victory in the World Cup for Sara Takanashi after 2013, 2014 and 2016. The second competitions of the ladies in Pyeongchang will start on Thursday at 7.45 am (CET).

Medal Ceremony

Russia sweeps in Sweden Recaps from the international break Russian forward Kirill Kaprizov, captain at the recent World Juniors, also shines with the men’s national team in the Sweden Hockey Games. Beside the Women’s Final Olympic Qualification, many tournaments and exhibition games were played by men’s, women’s and junior national teams and ended during the weekend. Russia, Switzerland win top events In the Euro Hockey Tour Russia succeeded by winning all three games of the Sweden Hockey Games and winning the Euro Hockey Tour before the last tournament in the Czech Republic. The Russians played their first game on home ice in St. Petersburg beating Finland 2-1 before heading to Gothenburg where they won 4-2 against host Sweden and with the same score against the Czechs to claim first place. The other teams had one win against each other with the Czechs claiming second place after improving their head-to-head goal difference following a 7-1 win against Finland. Sweden finished in third place. Kirill Kaprizov, who captained his country to World Junior bronze recently, was Russia’s scoring leader with three goals and four points followed by Anatoli Golyshev. Russia sent men’s teams to two tournaments. While the national selection succeeded in Gothenburg, the B-team, labelled as “Olympic selection”, participated in the Slovakia Cup where it finished in third place. Host Slovakia beat the Russians 6-2 in the semi-final of the opening day after Switzerland had edged Belarus 4-2 in the earlier game. Switzerland, which also travelled to Nitra with a young team including many who played their first international games, surprised the host in the final game. Damien Riat and Dave Sutter scored two early goals and the Swiss defended the lead for a 4-3 win to claim the trophy. Defenceman Sutter, who was born in Cameroon but moved to Switzerland as a kid, led the tournament in scoring with two goals and three points, same as Slovakia’s Martin Gernat and Russian forward Maxim Kazakov. Three Euro Ice Hockey Challenge events The Euro Ice Hockey Challenge consisting of lower-seeded top-division teams as well as Division I nations organized three tournaments during the February international break. Austria won its tournament in the new arena in Graz on home ice. Raphael Herburger scored the 2-1 overtime winner against Slovakia’s B-team to open the tournament before beating eventual runner-up Norway 2-1 in overtime as well. Lukas Haudum tied the game for Austria with 4:46 left in regulation time and Manual Ganahl scored the game-winner in a shootout. The Austrians sealed the tournament win after beating France 3-1 on the last day. Both goalies played outstanding with Bernhard Starkbaum having a 95.6 save percentage in two games and Lukas Herzog reaching 97.0 in his game. Korea hosted its EIHC tournament in Goyang in the Seoul region where it hosted a Division I tournament three years ago. It was a tight race with Denmark, Hungary and Korea each winning two games and earning six points while Japan was winless. The Danes started with a 4-2 loss to host Korea in front of a full house with 2,207 fans but bounced back with wins against Japan (6-1) and Hungary (5-1). Denmark needed to beat Hungary with a margin of at least three goals to win the tournament on the last day and did so. Julian Jacobsen scored the 4-1 goal on a two-man advantage in the third period that won his team the tournament, the fifth goal went into the empty net. The event in Poland included two countries that were promoted to the 2017 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship one year ago in the same city, Katowice. Slovenia did its job right winning all three games against Poland, Italy and Ukraine with 16-5 goals. Jan Urbas was most successful with four goals and nine points followed by his teammate Miha Verlic scored three goals and notched five points. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finland wins first World Juniors test The 2017 IIHF World Junior Championship is over but with a Five Nations Tournament for U19 teams the first test for the class of 1998 has begun in the Swiss town of Zuchwil. It was an outcome with opposite signs. Finland, which went from defending champion to relegation-round participant a few weeks ago in Canada, won the tournament with a 3-1 record. Host Switzerland, which made the final round in Canada and was not far from a quarter-final upset against eventual champion USA, finished in last place with zero points and a 1-19 goal record. The Finns suffered a 5-4 overtime loss to the Czechs on the first day but then bounced back with wins over eventual runner-up Sweden (4-0), Germany (5-2) and Switzerland (5-1) to move to first place. Jere Innala led the tournament in goal scoring with five markers, his teammate Jerry Turkulainen also had five points (3+2). Sweden’s Oskar Steen was the scoring leader of the tournament with three goals and nine points followed by two teammates, Jesper Boqvist (4+4) and defenceman Gustav Lindstrom (1+6). The two Nordic countries also had the statistically best-performing goaltenders. Swedish netminder Tim Hultstrand had a 93.75 save percentage in his two starts, Finland’s Niilo Halonen reached 93.1 in his three games. U.S. U18 team succeeds The United States’ centralized U18 national team succeeded at the Five Nations Tournament in Sundsvall. After three regulation-time wins against Finland (8-1), the Czech Republic (3-1) and Russia (5-3) the Americans played host Sweden for tournament win on the last day. The Swedish juniors were also without a loss and provided a tough challenge in front of 1,398 fans. Marcus Sylvegard tied up an American lead after a Nate Knoepke goal for the 1-1 score after the first period. The Americans improved and made it a 3-1 lead with goals from Quinn Hughes and Brady Tkachuk but the Swedes came back. Jacob Peterson cut the deficit before the next intermission. The Americans ran into penalty trouble early in the third and with two men more on the ice Erik Brannstrom tied the game and Lucas Elvenes gave the home team a 4-3 lead. But the Americans fought back. Josh Norris tied the game with a shorthanded goal with three seconds left in regulation time and it was him who also scored the game-winner in the sixth shootout round. Norris led the tournament in scoring with three goals and seven points followed by three teammates – Grant Mismash (3+3), Hughes (3+3) and Evan Barratt (1+5) – and the top goals scorer of the event, Czech forward Filip Zadina (4+1). Of the goalies with at least two games Sweden’s Adam Ahman reached the best numbers with a 95.74 save percentage followed by Czech Jiri Patera (94.34) and Finland’s Lassi Lehtinen (94.03). U18 Worlds host Slovakia also played host to the annual Vlado Dzurilla Tournament in Piestany and won it. After blanking Belarus 5-0 on the opening day it became more difficult in the other games. The Slovaks beat Switzerland 2-1 thanks to Jozef Balaz’s game-winner with 4:39 left to play and in the last game they beat Germany by the same score thanks to second-period goals from Filip Krivosik and Adam Liska. Germany’s Dominik Bokk was named Best Forward and led the tournament in scoring with two goals and four points followed by his teammate Mike Fisher and Krivosik with three points (2+1). Slovakia’s Daniel Pavlicko was named Best Goaltender and Switzerland’s Tim Berni Best Defenceman. Latvia, which will also compete in the 2017 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Championship in Slovakia, won against the Division I competition in the Four Nations Tournament in Denmark. Already after two days and two wins against Denmark (4-2) and Norway (5-3) the Latvians were known as tournament winner. The 2-0 loss against Austria on the last day didn’t change that. Host Denmark finished in second place with a 2-1 record. Hungary won a Four Nations Tournament on home ice in Budapest. In the tournament-clinching game against France Mark Almasi scored the game-winning goal for the home team. Slovenia and Italy finished in third and fourth place respectively. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finnish women win Eight women’s teams from Europe and Asia were busy in the Final Olympic Qualification where Switzerland and Japan earned the last two tickets for PyeongChang 2018. Three more teams, who are among the top-5 women’s hockey nations and thus already qualified, played each other in the Euro Hockey Tour event in Finland that was cut down to three teams due to Germany’s participation in the Olympic Qualification. The three teams played five exhibition games. Although not every team had the same number of games the outcome was clear. Home team Finland was the strongest team winning all four games against its neighbouring rivals. It beat Sweden 3-1 thanks to two Saila Saari goals and in the second game 3-2 after Susanna Tapani’s overtime goal. Then it faced little trouble against the Russian selection winning the games 7-2 and 7-1. Sweden finished in second place after blanking Russia 4-0, which was missing several key players who competed in the Winter Universiade where the country won both the men’s and women’s ice hockey tournaments. Jenni Hiirikoski led the tournament both in goals (3) and points (9) followed by her teammates Tapani (4+2) and Petra Nieminen (2+4). Noora Raty, who hasn’t played in an IIHF tournament since the Sochi 2014 Olympics, played three of Finland’s games. She plays her club hockey for Pyry Nokia in the third men’s division. The three Swedish goaltenders who saw ice time had the best save percentage in the tournament: Lovisa Berndtsson with a shutout win against Russia while Sarah Berglund (92.11) and Sara Grahn (91.89) kept the Swedes in the game against the offensive firepower or Finland.

Team takes NTE gold France earned its first medal at the 2017 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships today when the team of Tessa Worley, Mathieu Faivre, Alexis Pinturault, Julien Lizeroux, Nastasia Noens and Adeline Baud Mugnier earned the gold medal at the Nations Team Event in St. Moritz. France edged surprise finalist Slovakia in the last round. The silver medal was the first-ever for Slovakia in a Nations Team Event and while it was a surprise to many, the Slovakian team was very strong and included Veronika Velez Zuzlova, Adam Zampa, Adreas Zampa, Tereza Jancova, Matej Falat and Petra Vlhova. “I feel like we won the gold today,” said Velez Zuzulova after the race. “We have never won a medal, and I personally have never won a World Championship medal so I’m really happy with how we as a team did today and that we get to stand on the podium.” Earning the bronze medal was Sweden, who faced-off against the host Swiss in the small final. The Swiss were looking for their seventh medal of these championships, but were cleanly swept by the Swedes, who are traditionally strong in the Nations Team Event. Today’s bronze was the country’s fifth medal in the event. They now have two silver medals and three bronze. Every round produced at least one upset. In the first round, Slovakia set the tone, ousting Germany. In the second round, it was Sweden’s turn to provide the upset as they sent the Austrian team packing. Norway also fell to France in the second round, while the Slovaks continued to cruise, topping Italy. In the semi-finals, Slovakia edged Switzerland in a tight duel, while the French edged the Swedes to make the finals. “It was a challenge the whole day,” said France’s Tessa Worley. “We had to fight against Sweden in the semi-finals and also the final was pretty close. We didn’t know this morning what our chances were, so to take away the gold medal is great. We are all very happy.” Today’s medals were the first for all three nations at this year’s World Championship, bringing the total number of nations to earn a medal so far to 10. Tomorrow there are no races on the schedule at the World Championship as the technical skiers settle into St. Moritz and prepare to do battle in the giant slalom and slalom the last four days of the championships.
