Fans were rubbing their hands. Then a shock in the second round at Engelberg

Anna Twardosz was the only Polish woman to qualify for Sunday’s FIS Ski Jumping World Cup competition in Engelberg (HS140), advancing from qualifying with 105 m (30th). Nicole Konderla‑Juroszek (89.5 m, 49th) and Pola Bełtowska (104 m, 45th) failed to make the cut.

In the first round, Twardosz produced 118 m and sat a solid 19th. Anna Odine Strøm led after flying 132.5 m, one point ahead of Nika Prevc. World Cup overall leader Nozomi Maruyama struggled to 112 m and was only 14th at the break.

After the interval, Twardosz could not hold position, managing just 110 m and slipping to 21st overall. Maruyama rebounded with a 131.5 m effort in round two to finish sixth.

The victory went to Nika Prevc, who delivered a dominant 136 m in the final to win by 16.7 points over Strøm, who dropped to second after 125 m in the second series.
