Sara Takanashi passed Finnish legend Janne Ahonen to take possession of the record for most World Cup ski jumping podiums when she finished second in a normal hill event in Russia on Friday.

Takanashi, 24, put together two jumps of 94.5 meters for 234.8 points in Chaikovsky to place behind Austria's Marita Kramer, who scored 258.1 points.

The Japanese jumper's 109th top-three finish moved her past Ahonen, who competed at his last World Cup event in March 2018.
