December 10, 2011 (Notodden, Norway) – “It is always great fun to compete here in on the Tveitan-bakken,” Austria’s Daniela Iraschko said after her FIS Ladies Ski Jumping COC victory yesterday evening. “The crowd here was wonderful last year – and they have proved themselves this year too. It is awesome! I am really grateful and this victory means a lot to me.”

Iraschko delivered jumps of 98 m in both rounds for a total of 259 points. Runner-up was Sarah Hendrickson (USA), who  won the first-ever Ladies Ski Jumping World Cup event a few days ago in Lillehammer. She jumped 98 m and 99.5 m, but was short of style points and ended with 257.5 points. Third was Austria’s Jacqueline Seifriedsberger (93.0 m/94.5 m/240.0 points).

Other North American results include Abbey Hughes (USA) in 20th, Alissa Johnson (USA) in 24th, Taylor Henrich (CAN) 27th, Nina Lussi (USA) 35th, Jasmine Stepandj (CAN) 42nd, and Nita Englund (USA) 43rd.
