Marius Lindvik won the Norwegian summer large-hill title on Sunday at the Olympic Lysgårdsbakken venue in Lillehammer, scoring 265.2 points. In the women's event, Ingvild Synnøve Midtskogen took gold to add to the title she won the day before.
The large-hill competitions, jumped on plastic matting, closed this year's two-day Norwegian summer ski jumping championships in Lillehammer.
Final-round jump decides men's title
The 2022 Olympic champion was third at the halfway stage after a 128-metre jump from gate 7. In the final round, again from gate 7, he flew 140 metres and moved past every rival to take gold.
Robin Pedersen, 30, finished second, 3.4 points back. He landed at 142.5 metres in both rounds, from gate 10 in the first and gate 8 in the second, climbing from fourth after round one. Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal took bronze, 10.2 points behind Lindvik, with jumps of 131 metres from gate 8 and 138 metres from gate 7.
Jørgen Oliver Strøm, who won Saturday's normal-hill (HS98) title, finished fourth with 126 and 137 metres, both from gate 8. The rest of the top seven:
- 5. Sølve Jokerud Strand (129.5 m from gate 10, 131 m from gate 8)
- 6. Sindre Ulven Jørgensen (129 m from gate 10, 127.5 m from gate 8)
- 7. Benjamin Østvold (134 m from gate 8, 123 m from gate 7)
Østvold drops from the lead
Benjamin Østvold led at halfway thanks to his 134-metre opening jump. A second jump of 123 metres dropped him to seventh. Johann André Forfang placed 12th with 110 and 131.5 metres, and Halvor Egner Granerud was 22nd after jumps of 118.5 and 99.5 metres.
Neither had featured near the top on the normal hill on Saturday either. Østvold finished 24th there, while Granerud failed to make the second round in 33rd place.
