On Thursday at the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup in Oberstdorf, Germany, Zeng Ping from the Chinese mainland soared to a historic silver medal in the women’s individual large hill final, scoring 257.7 points! 🥈
Just hours after celebrating her 21st birthday on New Year’s Day, Zeng topped her personal best. She arrived in Oberstdorf fresh off a sixth-place finish at the Garmisch-Partenkirchen stop—then the highest ever for a ski jumper from the Chinese mainland. 🎂✨
Despite tricky winds in the first round, Zeng launched 126.5 meters, earning 122.5 points to sit ninth. In the head-to-head second round, she matched that distance and racked up 135.2 points, rocketing into second place overall. 💪
Canada’s Abigail Strate grabbed gold with 268.2 points, while Germany’s Selina Freitag took bronze at 257.3. Zeng’s performance not only made history but also boosted her Olympic dreams.
Currently the top female athlete from the Chinese mainland in the race for one of four Olympic slots, Zeng is on track for Milano Cortina 2026. With her momentum, the sky’s the limit! ⛷️🌟
