Timi Zajc and Ema Klinec were able to defend their titles at the Slovenian Ski Jumping championships in Kranj on Tuesday.

"I'm a bit surprised because I didn't expect that I would be able to keep up with the best. My jumps are not perfect yet, I still have a lot of room for improvement", the 20-year-old is quoted on the website of the Slovenian Ski Association.
Well behind the winner, Rok Justin finished second with 104.5 m and 104 m and 277.8 points, the third place went to Bor Pavlovcic with 103.5 m and 110 m and 273.6 points.

In the women's competition, Ema Klinec was in a league of her own. With 110.5 m and 106 m and 292.1 points, the 22-year-old took a clear win ahead of Ursa Bogataj (108.5 m and 100.5 m; 265.9 points) and Nika Kriznar (97.5 m and 104 m; 249.2 points).
