Who are the ski jumpers to watch at Gangwon 2024?
A very talented field of young ski jumpers are taking part at the Winter Youth Olympic Games, Gangwon 2024.
One of them is Czechia's Anežka Indráčková, who is just 17 years old but already an Olympian. She competed at Beijing 2022 as the youngest athlete among all participants and finished 30th in the women's normal hill event.
Slovenia is lining up with Ajda Košnjek and Taja Bodlaj, who have both won medals at the Ski Jumping Junior World Championships. Anna-Fay Scharfenberg of Germany is also medallist at the Junior World Championships, as she claimed a bronze medal in the team event in 2022.
Norway's Ingvild Synnøve Midtskogen is another name to look out for. In the 2023–24 FIS Ski Jumping Inter-Continental Cup, she took two victories on home turf in Notodden.
In the men's competitions, Poland has a strong duo in Kacper Tomasiak and Łukasz Łukaszczyk. Both have top ten results in the FIS Cup this season with Tomasiak finishing fourth in Kandersteg, Switzerland and Łukaszczyk taking fourth.
Lastly, Hektor Kapustík of Slovakia will compete in both nordic combined and the ski jumping events. He proved his talent in ski jumping by winning the New Star event in Rasnov, Romania last year.
