JWSC Transferred to Planica. Schlierenzauer To Miss The Event

Junior World Ski Championships planned for 15-18th March in the Italian city of Tarvisio will be eventually held on the venues of Fusine and Planica due to lack of snow in the area of Tarvisio.

Cross-Country races are transferred to Fusine, which is only 10 km away from Tarvisio, however the snow conditions are much better in that part of Italy. Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined events are moved to Slovenian ski-resort of Planica.

Most of the ski jumping teams haven't been named yet, it is however sure that the defending champion - Gregor Schlierenzauer - will not take part in the event as he is fighting for the highest rank in the World Cup circuit. The Austrian team for JWSC includes: Mario Innauer, Arthur Pauli, Andreas Strolz, Thomas Thurnbichler and David Unterberger.

Ski Jumping gold for SLO & ITA

In the men's Ski Jumping team event, the team of World Champions comes from Slovenia. The team consisting of Robert Hrgota, Primoz Roglic, Jurij Tepes and Mitja Meznar took the victory 35.5 points ahead of Japan that beat Team Finland by 8 points. Jumping on their home hill in Planica (SLO), the Slovenian team already displayed its strength in the individual competition by taking the ranks 4th, 5th, 7th and 19th. One jumper on the Austrian team was disqualified due to too long skis - as a result, the team finished 11th.

In the second-ever ladies' Ski Jumping FIS Junior World Championship event, 17-year-old Lisa Demetz of Italy emerged with the gold medal, just 1.5 points ahead of 15-year-old Katie Willis of Canada. Maja Vtic of Slovenia finished 3rd, only 2.5 points from the title. Juliana Seyfahrt (GER), the 2006 Junior World Champion, finished 5th, behind teammate Carina Vogt who was 4th.
