Sara Takanashi finished second in the women's normal hill individual competition on Sunday as Norway's Maren Lundby claimed her fifth straight World Cup victory.
Takanashi landed on the podium for the sixth time this season after posting jumps of 88.0 and 89.0 meters to net 241.2 points in Hinzenbach, Austria. The 22-year-old said she owed the distance to smooth takeoffs and looked elated to be holding a trophy again.
"I'm happy to be on the podium," Takanashi said. "I'm gradually absorbing what I need to do, and little-by-little I want to fine-tune my jumps."
