SKIVO Four Hills
Steady finish wins SKIVO Four Hills without a single hill win
🇫🇮 Jönssi took SKIVO Four Hills week 43 with 1105.6 points, 4.4 clear of 🇫🇮 Koirakarhu, and never won a single hill.
Consistency beat brilliance this week. 🇫🇮 Jönssi of Finland was third last week and went one better this time, finishing 4.4 points ahead of 🇫🇮 Koirakarhu. The winner's best hill was Gletschhorn, where second place made up for a tough day on Kumoyama, 21st and 10.6 points off the pace. Fourth place on Jodłowa and 13th on Kuusivaara did the rest.
🇫🇮 Koirakarhu also came from Finland and made a first SKIVO Four Hills count. Tenth on Kuusivaara and tenth on Gletschhorn were the lowest results of a very even week, and the margin at the end was small. 🇦🇹 Bene of Austria completed the podium on 1095 points, 10.6 behind. Second on Kuusivaara was the highlight, though 29th on Kumoyama and 25th on Jodłowa cost too much.
The biggest swing belonged to 🇫🇮 jajaja, last week's runner-up. A win on Jodłowa and a third place on Kuusivaara put the Finn right in the fight, but 76th on Gletschhorn, 28.7 points behind the hill winner, left a final gap of 13.3 to the top. Fourth place it was. Last week's champion 🇯🇵 kirinuki did not take part.
The hill wins were spread widely. 🇩🇪 2905Pascal of Germany won Kumoyama with 280 points but fell to fifth overall after a 41st place on Jodłowa. 🇪🇪 Raivo Kala of Estonia took Kuusivaara with 274.9. The highest score of the week came on Gletschhorn, where 🇦🇹 Lrdtrllalot scored 291.8 for the win and climbed to seventh overall.
In all, 134 jumpers from 18 countries took part. Nobody won all four hills, so the Grand Slam stays out of reach for another week.
