Maximilian Steiner
The second competition of the Continental Cup in Engelberg on Monday became a duel of Austria vs. Slovenia. In the end, an Austrian came out on top in an extremely close race on the Titlis-hill.
Maximilian Steiner, fifth yesterday, won the competition with his first jump of 135 m and the longest jump of the day of 143 and 280.1 points. The 24-year-old made it to the top of the podium again more than three years after his first COC win in August 2017. I ve not jumped over that red line in that many competitions, it was a real adrenaline rush. Jumping on this hill is a lot of fun , said Maximilian Steiner.
Stefan Rainer
Due to the bad weather forecast for Sunday, the third competition of the Continental Cup in Ruka (FIN) was rescheduled and held only a few hours after the second competition of the weekend on Saturday evening. And just like in the first two events on the Rukatunturi-hill, the win went to a ski jumper from Austria, this time the Austrians took all three spots on the podium.
The weekend in Ruka ended just the way it started on Friday: With a victory of Stefan Rainer. The 21-year-old was second after the first round with his 134 m jump, he was then able to secure his second career win in the COC with 136 m in the final round and 289.0 points. It was a nice competition, the conditions were great. It was not as windy as yesterday and I m very happy about my jumps , said the two-time winner.
