(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Dongchan Kim = Sara Takanashi (25, Japan) built the 60th championship tower for the first time in the history of the International Ski Federation (FIS) Ski Jump World Cup.
On the 19th (local time), Takanashi scored 239.2 points in the women’s normal hills of the 2020-2021 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup held in Rasnov, Romania, and surpassed 232.9 points in Sillier Opces (Norway) to the top.
Takanashi, who won the third World Cup title only in February, became the first 60-winner in the history of the Ski Jump World Cup for both men and women.
After Takanasi, Gregor Schlensauer (Austria) recorded 53 wins, and Maren Lundby (Norway), who had 30 wins, half of Takanashi’s most wins, ranked second.
Takanashi said, “It was difficult because it was very windy, but I tried to concentrate only on what I was trying to do,” he said.
Starting from the 2012-2013 season, Takanashi, who has won the ski jump World Cup season four times, including the 2013-2014, 2015-2016, and 2016-2017 seasons, is ranked second in the overall ranking this season.
He was the world’s strongest, with 14 wins in the 2015-2016 season and 9 wins in the 2016-2017 season.
It is only 4 seasons after 9 wins in 2016-2017 season that have won three times a season.
Takanashi, who has not yet achieved Olympic gold goals, such as fourth place in Sochi in 2014 and bronze medal in Pyeongchang in 2018, raised hopes for the 2022 Beijing Olympics based on this rise.
