Aigro outperformed overall winner Prevc, but did not qualify for the second round

Artti Aigro finished 38th at the ski jumping World Cup event in Oslo, failing to qualify for the second round despite outperforming overall winner Domen Prevc and achieving a jump of 120 meters.

During the ski jumping World Cup event in Oslo, Estonian athlete Artti Aigro executed a jump of 120 meters, earning him 108 points. This score, however, placed him 38th overall, just short of qualifying for the second round. The final spot in that round went to Slovenian Zak Mogel, whose jump surpassed Aigro’s by four and a half meters, securing him an aggregate score of 112.3 points.

Domen Prevc, who is a consistent performer and the overall champion, struggled in this competition, landing only 117.5 meters for a score of 105.2 points, ending the day in 42nd place. This marked a surprising outing for Prevc considering his usual skill level, and highlights the unpredictable nature of ski jumping competitions.

The event concluded with an unexpected victory for 35-year-old Swiss jumper Gregor Deschwanden, who scored a total of 263.1 points across his two jumps. Following Deschwanden were Maximilian Ortner from Austria in second and Japan’s Naoki Nakamura in third, revealing a remarkable podium lineup dominated by less-favored competitors this time around.
