New Cannon feat Johann – again on the podium! – Northern Lights

Tromso boy Johann André Forfang (20) was second in the World Cup race in ski flying in Vikersund Saturday.

Forfang landed at 229 meters, one meter behind his qualifying personal record, in the first place. This led him in fourth place.

In the second half he landed at 222 meters, but in a game where all the other top jumpers, except wins Peter Prevc, knocked sharply on the lengths.

both Stafan Kraft and nor compatriot Kenneth Gangnes failed to respond to laminitis length, and was behind with 209.5 meters.

But Peter Prevc was superb – again. Slovenian smashed the other 230 meters in the last jump – in tough conditions.

– It feels good! Real good to get out there I feel like I’m good for. It’s just a blast, said Johann André Forfang to NRK for second place.

– I feel like I can jump well despite the conditions. The last jump was rhythmic and fine, I rounded bullet nice and kept the move, said Forfang.

Teams Head Alexander Stöckl was enthralled with tromøsgutten.

– Ever raw that he manages to jump as well under such heavy conditions. He had to use all the energy he has in his legs, which he got up on skis, and flew ground down. Fantastic! said Stöckl NRK.

Forfang jumped 240 meters in the World Championships in Ski Flying in Kulm, but declined. Therefore, 230 meters his personal record.
