FIS Ski Jumping World Cup continues in Ruka this weekend, when Friday\u2019s qualification starts the competition. This weekend consists of two large hill competitions.<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t one clear favorite for victory: the competition begins with interesting prospects.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest favorites is Germany\u2019s Pius Paschke<\/b>, who had an excellent beginning to the season. Paschke, 34, holds the lead in the World Cup after winning the first large hill competition and came second in the following competition in Lillehammer. Last season, Paschke placed 10th in the World Cup and second in last year\u2019s competition.<\/p>\n

Another favorite to win in Ruka is Austria\u2019s Stefan Kraft<\/b>, who won last year\u2019s World Cup by a clear margin. Kraft has won both the World Cup and the World Championship thrice. He is, however, not the only Austrian who has begun his season well.<\/p>\n

Kraft with fellow Austrian jumpers Jan Hoerl<\/b>, Daniel Tschofenig <\/b>and Maximilian Ortner<\/b> hold positions 2 to 5 in Cup standings.<\/p>\n

Ryoyu Kobayashi<\/b>, who placed 2nd in last year\u2019s World Cup, had a disappointing weekend in Lillehammer, but should be considered a winning contender. Kobayashi is 16th in the World Cup.<\/p>\n

Andreas Wellinger<\/b>, who was 3rd in the World Cup, and has won gold both in Olympic and World Championships, is a strong contender for victory in Ruka.
\nQualification for Saturday\u2019s competition is held on Friday, and Sunday\u2019s qualifying and competition will be held consecutively.<\/p>\n
