Ski jumping: Pinkelnig wins overall World Cup - Friday second in Lillehammer

Three-time world champion Katharina Althaus can no longer become overall winner in the ski jumping world cup. The Austrian Eva Pinkelnig secured the title.

Eleventh place in the competition in Lillehammer, Norway, was enough for the 34-year-old. Althaus from Oberstdorf finished fifth and can no longer make up the deficit of 215 points in the remaining two World Cups.

Selina Freitag was second in heavy snow. The 21-year-old jumped 121.5 and 128 meters. She only had to admit defeat to the Norwegian winner, Silje Opseth. Third place went to Ema Klinec from Slovenia. For Friday it was the third podium finish in an individual World Cup.
