Olympic champion Maren Lundby can do no wrong at the moment as the Norwegian continued her ski jumping World Cup dominance in Austria.
Lundby claimed her fifth win in a row on Sunday on the HS 90 hill in Hinzenbach, with jumps of 90m and 88.5m to take 250.8 points and finish clear of her nearest rivals.
Sara Takanashi of Japan and Germany’s Katharina Althaus made up the other places on the podium, but the day belonged to Lundby.
Speaking about the 19th World Cup win of her career, and fifth in a row, the 24-year-old said: "I am very happy about my second victory in Hinzenbach.
"This is my fifth victory in a row so it looks like my jumps are really good now and my form is consistent just three weeks ahead of World Championships.
"I am really excited about the team event in Ljubno next week, we have a strong, competitive team. It is great that FIS and WSC organizers put their trust in us and we will get a chance to fight for medals in a ladies team event in Seefeld as well."
