The ski jumping competitions of this year's Winter Universiade were held this week in Strbske Pleso (SVK).

The men's competition there was won by Bulgaria's Vladimir Zografski with jumps on 95 m and 94 m and a total of 248.8 points. "I did my best and I'm very happy about this Gold medal. I was a bit nervous after the first round, but I believed I could win and this belief was stronger", the winner told.

Ilmir Hazetdinov of Russia, with 90 m fifth after the first round, showed the best performance in the final with 94.5 m and moved up to second with 244.2 points. "This is my first Universiade I'm happy to be here. The second place is a success for me and I'm looking forward to the next competitions", Hazetdinov said.

With Evgeni Klimov, who jumped on 92.5 m and 91.5 m and scored 241.7 points, the third place also went to Russia. The nordic combined athlete was also satisfied with his performance. "I didn't have high expectations and didn't think that I could win a medal, that's why I'm very happy about Bronze."

The Russian team could also win two medals in the ladies' competition. Favorite Irina Avvakumova took the win with 88.5 m and 95.5 m and 223.2 points. Yuka Kobayashi of Japan finished second with 198.2 points (83.5 m and 84 m), followed by Anastasiya Gladysheva, the second Russian on the podium, with 190.5 points (85.5 m and 83.5 m).
