Norwegian Eirin Kvandal from Mosjøen is considered a great talent. She really proved it in the jump race at Ljubno in Slovenia on Sunday.
– I am very pleased. “I don’t know what else to say, I’m in shock,” the sensational jumper tells NRK shortly after the race.
The victory came shortly before the celebration of the World Cup. She dares not say anything about what is expected of him.
– I think the opportunity is there, but I dare not report anything now.
– In Maren Lundby’s slightly weak start to the season, a new girl just shows up, Johan Remen Evensen said as he secured victory.
– She is surprised”
In the second World Cup race of the season, he hit 92 meters in the first round. She made no impact and came in second.
But in the second half he gave it his all and landed at 89 meters. Despite failing to make an impact this time, she achieved her first World Cup victory as Ema Klinec only jumped 86.5 meters.
– This is one of the most sensational experiences I have ever had. That the results in NM said more about Eirin’s jumping and ability than the other girls’ form is now probably out of the question, says Clas Brede Bråten.
– You will see that she is “shocked” herself, Remen Evensen said when the images of the escape showed her teammates congratulating her.
The main character can confirm it himself.
– There was a lot of emotion. He couldn’t think much, Kvandal says of the seconds after he realized that the first world champion of his career was insured.
It was clear that he meant a lot to her and she couldn’t hold back the tears.
Kvandal also won the NM race a week ago with two magnificent jumps of 135 and 123 meters at Granåsen.
– Eirin has convinced in a big way both in Vikersund with a superior victory and in NM. I’m not sure if some women have jumped better before, said jumper manager Christian Meyer after the NM jumper race, the Ski Association writes on its own website.
Could have won with me
NRK jumping expert Anders Jacobsen says it was very surprising that the recent Norwegian champion ran away with victory, but he still believes she could have won more.
– He manages to keep a cool head and jump well on skis. If he had also looked at style a bit, he would have gained a lot, says Jacobsen.
It’s not just the jump that impresses Jacobsen, but also Kvandal’s ability to keep his nerves in check.
– She sits on top as one of the last. He keeps a cool head and nerves in check and gets a good second jump. It was impressive, says Jacobsen, who believes he can also perform well in a world championship.
– I really could have won five more points each round, then I would have easily won. Towards a championship, if you get used to the style ratings, she is an absolute gold candidate when we get to Oberstdorf.
