The 28-year-old German athlete claimed her second victory of the season with a dominant performance in Zhangjiakou.

Katharina Schmid secured first place at the inaugural Women's Ski Jumping World Cup event in Zhangjiakou, China, with a 27-point lead.
The German skier outperformed Norway’s Eirin Maria Kvanal and Slovenia’s Nika Previc, the reigning overall World Cup champion.
