27 January 2024 at 16:44 WC medal missed for Forfang Johann André Forfang was third in the WC in ski flying in Kulm before Saturday’s round, but disappointed in the third round and landed at 217 metres. – It is very boring, says Forfang to news. – It is difficult to put into words my feelings right now, he continues. Thus, the Norwegian copies the fourth place in 2016, when the 28-year-old fell from a WC medal in the monster hill in Kulm. – It’s boring that he doesn’t get paid. I wish him a medal in the championship here, says teammate Daniel-André Tande to news. It is the first time since 2008 that Norway does not have a man on the podium in the individual competition at the WC. Strong winds caused several postponements and it was decided early on to organize only one round on Saturday. news’s jumping expert Johan Remen Evensen is critical of the jury’s choice to carry out one round. – Regardless of how this ends, I think there are too many variations in the conditions as they are right now. There are too many coincidences. It may turn out positively, and that’s how show jumping has always been, but it’s with a slight aftertaste, says news’s show jumping expert Johan Remen Evensen. – When it varies from plus 20 in wind compensation points to fine buoyancy on the ground, I think the variation is too great, he continues. Austrian Stefan Kraft won WC gold on home soil ahead of German Andreas Wellinger, while Slovenian Timi Zajc was third.
