Ski jumpers won silver
Ice figure skater Nika Cerič
Slovenian ski jumpers won silver medal on yesterday’s team race on the K95. They were just 0.6 points behind first place. Japanese team won gold and bronze went to the Poles. For Slovenia Žiga Mandl, Rok Mandl and Matej Dobovšek have competed. Of the six medals that Slovenia got on the 25th Winter Universiade, five have won ski jumpers. The Slovenian ski jumpers return home tomorrow.
Only Žiga Rakovec will start tomorrow in the snowboarder’s half pipe final. Žiga Erlača, Mitja Kodrič and Urška Pribošič didn’t make to the finals, but we expect more from them in the slope-style, which is their primary discipline.
Slovenian ice figure skaters, Daša Grm and Nika Cerič competed in the short program. Nika Cerič had some bad luck and was 21st at the end with 33.93 points. Coach Marina Pirkmajer said: "I am happy with Nika’s preformance and I am very sorry that she made a mistake in the element, which she usually masters. This is however a very good experience for her because it is her first time on such a big competition and is the youngest participant." Daša Grm was on excellent 12th place with 43.54 points.
