September 23, 2018 (Planica, Slovenia) – American, Taylor Fletcher, of the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, placed 15th in the Gundersen LH HS140/10km at the Nordic Combined Summer Grand Prix in Planica, Slovenia on Sunday.

“Today was a solid day. Nothing too special. I was late on my jump which caused me to miss out on a bunch at the end of the jump. The race was good, for sure, but I was all alone and didn’t get any help out there. With that, I am still happy with today as it was handfuls better than any competition from last year. Progress is all that matter and I am moving forward,” said 28-year-old Fletcher on the competition.

Jumping Results: Speed 91.9 Distance 119.5 Points 50.1 with a round total of 88.0 and a + 2:39 difference. Fletcher finished the roller ski with a 25:48.6, +1:21.5.

USA Nordic Head Nordic Combined Coach, Martin Bayer, had this to say, “It was a pretty good day for Taylor and we’re happy with the overall result.”

USA is 9th in the FIS Summer Grand Prix Nordic Combined Nations Cup standings.
