Takanashi Back on Top

NIZHNY TIGIL, Russia (Dec. 13, 2015) - Japan's Sara Takanashi was back on top Sunday, a day after handing a win to Austrian Daniela Iraschko-Stolz, extending her FIS Ski Jumping World Cup lead. Tara Geraghty-Moats (W. Fairlee, VT) was the top American finishing 21st.

No one was close to Takanashi who soared 98.0 and 99.0 meters on the HS100 meter hill at the Russian National Ski Jumping Complex. 

Geraghty-Moats flew 86.0 meters on her first jump to stand 24th after the first round. She came back strong with a 90.0 meter ride to move up to 21st. Nita Englund (Florence, WI) was 38th after the first round and failed to qualify for the final round.

The World Cup tour now takes a holiday break before resuming in Sapporo, Japan in mid-January.
