A supremely consistent Anze Lanisek kicked off the 2023 Raw Air tournament with victory in Oslo. Jumps of 133m and 139.5m took the Slovenian ahead of favourite Stefan Kraft, who failed to break the 130-metre mark, despite leading the standings after round one. Ad The Austrian slipped to second with Lanisek's brilliant final leap only bettered by third-place Karl Geiger.
Home favourite Timi Zajc claimed Slovenia's first large hill ski jumping world title since 1991 with a tremendous second leap in Planica. The 22-year-old was sitting in the silver medal position before his final jump, needing to oust Poland's David Kubacki and hope that leader Ryoyu Kobayashi of Japan didn't match his score. Ad Only German jumper Karl Geiger could compete with his round-one distance of 137.5m and another monster leap of 137m took him 11.3 points clear of Kubacki.
Piotr Zyla successfully defended his normal hill Nordic World Championship title with an outstanding comeback performance in Plancia. Zyla earned his third gold, and his seventh World Championship medal, thanks to a stunning final jump which saw him rise from 13th after the first round to power to the top of the podium.
Germany clinched World Cup gold in the men's normal hill team event in Rasnov, as Karl Geiger and Andreas Wellinger powered to victory. Wellinger followed up individual victory on Saturday with bronze medallist Geiger, as the pair finished a comfortable 33.8 points ahead of Slovenia's Maksim Bartolj and Ziga Jelar.
Andreas Wellinger maintained his fine form ahead of the World Championships with a second World Cup win in a week on the normal hill in Rasnov. The German, who grabbed his first win of the season in Lake Placid a week ago and then backed it up with a silver medal 24 hours later, narrowly beat Ziga Jelar to the top spot.
Stefan Kraft edged out a trio of Slovenians to claim his 25th individual World Cup win in the men's flying hill event in Oberstdorf. The legendary Austrian was at his imperious best in the German mountains, with high marks from the judges seeing him edge out Ziga Jelar by two points, the winner finishing on 413.0 after posting jumps of 232m and 207m.
