In a stunning display of skill, Austrian ski jumper Jacqueline Seifriedsberger dominated the World Cup competition at Willingen on Saturday. She amassed an impressive total of 161.4 points, outshining Sara Takanashi of Japan, who secured second place with 157.3 points, and Germany’s Katharina Schmid, who rounded out the podium with 152.8 points.

The competition was not without its challenges, as rain hampered conditions, affecting several competitors' performances. Among them was Joséphine Pagnier, who had previously claimed two World Cup victories this season in Lillehammer and Engelberg. Unfortunately, she struggled in Willingen, finishing in 24th place with 76.1 points.
