Ski Flying - Women’s Competition in Vikersund Canceled Due to Strong Winds

The ski flying event in Vikersund for women faced unfavorable conditions. After a long wait of about 45 minutes, the jury decided to cancel the competition due to excessively strong winds.

Initially, qualifiers had already faced disruptions with cancellations for safety reasons. The jury emphasized that safety comes first, aligning with the decision for today's women’s competition.
