Na svetovnem prvenstvu padajo snežinkaste medalje
Snowflake medals are falling at the World Championships
Written by Sabina Lavrič translated by JL Flanner & G Translate
Oberstdorf je srečen kraj za slovenske skoke in smučarski tek.
Oberstdorf is a happy place for Slovenian ski jumping and cross-country skiing.
Na svetovnem prvenstvu v nordijskem smučanju smo upali na dobre rezultate, ampak da bomo veseli toliko medalj v obliki snežink že na samem začetku prvenstva, pa nismo pričakovali!
We hoped for good results at the World Nordic Skiing Championships, but did not expect so many medals in the shape of snowflakes at the very beginning of the Championships!
Že prvi dan je za veselje poskrbela smučarska tekačica Anamarija Lampič, ki je pritekla bronasto medaljo v šprintu. To je disciplina, na kateri se morajo tekmovalci zelo hitro preteči kratkotrajno izteči.
Already on the first day the cross-country skier Anamarija Lampič took care of the joy, winning a bronze medal in the sprint. This is a discipline in which competitors have to ski very quickly for a short run.
Z Evo Urevc sta nato še skupaj prišprintali do brona na tekmi dvojic. Na zadnji predaji štafete Anamarija ni popolnoma verjela vase, a vendarle ujela najhitrejše, na ciljni ravnini prehitela Rusinjo in name Evi v objem pritekla na tretjem mestu.
With Eva Urevc she then sprinted to bronze in the doubles race. At the last handover of the relay, Anamarija did not fully believe in herself, but still caught the leader, overtook the Russian on the finish line and together with Eva tookn third place.
Navdušili so tudi smučarske skakalke in skakalci. Ema Klinec je postala svetovna prvakinja, skupaj z Niko Križnar, Špelo Rogelj in Uršo Bogataj je v ekipni tekmi osvojila še srebro.
The ski jumpers also impressed. Ema Klinec became the world champion, and together with Nika Križnar, Špela Rogelj and Urša Bogataj she also won silver in the team competition.
Anže Lanišek je na svetovnem prvenstvu osvojil bronasto medaljo.
Anže Lanišek won a bronze medal at the world championships.
Šele pogled v zgodovino pokaže, kako redke so medalje na svetovnih prvenstvih. 60 let po začetkih skokov v Planici je prvo osvojil Franci Petek, 14 let kasneje Benkovič, nato dve Peter Prevc in zdaj Lanišek.
A look at history alone shows how rare medals are at the world championships [for Slovenia]. Franci Petek won the first 60 years after the start of the jumps in Planica, 14 years later Benkovič, then two by Peter Prevc and now Lanišek.
Za slovenske ženske smučarske skoke je Emino zlato sploh prva medalja na velikih tekmovanjih.
For Slovenian women's ski jumping, Ema's gold is the first medal in a major competition.
