Marius Lindvik, who won gold in the large hill ski jumping event at the previous Olympics, faced a disappointing result in Predazzo, where he could not make it to the finals. After a subpar performance, he landed at just 123.5 meters, placing him 33rd after the first round. Lindvik expressed his frustration about his inability to gauge the necessary speed on the hill, which he believes significantly contributed to his poor showing.

Having previously secured a silver medal in the team mixed competition at the same Olympic Games, Lindvik's results in the individual event have not reflected his past success. He acknowledged that his current performance did not provide him a chance to reach the final round, a situation he found unfortunate. Despite having narrowly missed out on a better position this time, Lindvik had shown promise earlier in the games, finishing 12th in the normal hill event.

The overall disappointment not only affects Lindvik personally but also impacts the Norwegian ski jumping team's morale as they aim for success. The high expectations placed on him, as the reigning Olympic champion, make this result particularly significant, and it raises questions about his training and competition strategies moving forward. As the event progresses, fans and analysts will be keen to see how he recovers from this setback and how it influences the remainder of the competitions.
