Maren Lundby made a return to the World Cup, over 600 days since the last international competition. She could therefore celebrate with a small victory for herself, and a big victory for her teammate Opseth. Austria’s Marita Kramer was second, while Anna Odine Strøm was the second best Norwegian in 5th place. Good first half In the first half, Opseth sailed up into close position, after his jump of 124.3 metres. It was not a triumph if we are to believe the main character himself. – I’m very close, but I got a little too eager and threw myself over the ski. I have more to go on, and that is a good sign, said Opseth then. There was no doubt about that. The plan was to stay calm and make things easier in the final round, and it worked. – What can we expect from you after such an opening? – It remains to be seen. Anything, said Opseth. Comeback Maren Lundby was nervous before her first World Cup competition in almost two years. In the first round she sailed into 12th place, and was all in all satisfied with the jump of 117 metres. – I was more nervous than I should have thought. But I deliver on time, she told Viaplay then. When asked how it felt when she set out, she replied: – It’s actually just black. I tried to focus on what I had to do, but it just felt chaotic. I was a little more unstable than at my best, but all in all I should be satisfied, she said. In the final round, things did not go as well. Then Lundby beat his arms on the plain in despair, and was clearly displeased. Thea Minyan Bjørseth was number ten.
