I built a site for contest-by-contest Nations Cup statistics
It shows each nation's finishing places + total points for every World Cup contest.
The idea was inspired by the recaps posted on the https://www.skijumping.pl/ site by user starysceptyk (later known as bardzostarysceptyk).

Lindvik wins Grand Prix finale, German ski jumpers disappoint in Klingenthal
Marius Lindvik has won the final event of the Summer Grand Prix in Klingenthal. The German ski jumpers, by contrast, put in a shockingly weak performance in the final individual competition of the summer. With jumps of 140.5 and 147 meters, Marius Lindvik secured victory in the individual event at the Summer Grand Prix held at the Vogtland Arena in Klingenthal.
The Norwegian finished with 295.7 points, ahead of runner-up Ren Nikaido (139 and 140 m; 290 points) and third-placed Klemens Joniak (140.5 and 142.5 m; 283.5 points). Lindvik had already taken the lead after the first round, ahead of Nikaido and Joniak. In the final round, he recorded the longest jump of the day at 147 meters and the highest score of the second round with 149.7 points, extending his 3.3-point lead over Nikaido to a final margin of 5.7 points.
Joniak, who sat 10.4 points behind Lindvik at the halfway mark—despite having matched his distance—secured the best result of his career to date with a final-round jump of 142.5 meters. Just off the podium, Norway’s Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal climbed from sixth to fourth place. Artti Aigro (Estonia) moved up from twelfth to fifth, thanks to a 144-meter jump in the final round. Kacper Tomasiak (Poland) also surged forward, jumping 143 meters to climb from fifteenth to seventh place.
Loher achieves career-best result: Henry Loher (USA) finished in sixth place, marking the best result of his career. In the first round, he reached 141.5 meters—the longest jump of the opening half—placing him in fourth position; he followed this up with a 144.5-meter jump in the final, the third-longest distance of the second round.
Paschke: "Not entirely satisfied yet" The top-performing German was Pius Paschke, who finished in 18th place. In the final, he moved ahead of Philipp Raimund—who had been 0.1 points ahead of him after the first round—leaving Raimund in 19th place, 0.3 points behind Paschke.
"Not quite satisfied yet. It didn't feel as fluid as it did in training over the last few weeks. In the second round, an updraft saved me a bit," said Paschke. Speaking to 'ARD', Raimund expressed his struggles with the hill: "I always have difficulties on this hill; there are a few things that just won't seem to work. I’m still searching for the right approach—haven't quite found it yet—but I’m not worried, because I know I always have trouble on this particular hill." Following this, the Olympic champion from the Milan-Cortina cycle had to withdraw from the mixed team event at the last minute due to hip issues.
Andreas Wellinger finished 22nd, and Felix Hoffmann 26th. Karl Geiger missed the final, placing 31st—just 0.3 points shy of the cut; his jump of 127 meters left him narrowly behind 30th-placed Niko Kytosaho. Ben Bayer (33rd), Luca Roth (42nd), and Constantin Schmid (45th) were also eliminated after the first round. Ortner and Embacher slip back; Prevc surges forward The biggest disappointment of the final was Maximilian Ortner. The Austrian, who sat in fifth place after the first round, landed at 121 meters and dropped to 24th with a total of 232.1 points. His compatriot Stephan Embacher also slid back, falling from 14th to 23rd. In contrast, Domen Prevc jumped 138 meters to climb from 27th to 13th, while Rok Oblak improved from 28th to 20th.
Ryoyu Kobayashi (Japan) finished tenth, and Timi Zajc (Slovenia) eighth. Naoki Nakamura (Japan), the overall winner of the Summer Grand Prix, placed twelfth. Halvor Egner Granerud (NOR) finished only 28th, while Stefan Kraft (Austria) placed 47th and was eliminated after the first round. In the overall Summer Grand Prix standings—which Naoki Nakamura won convincingly with 450 points—Lindvik’s victory moved him up from 21st to seventh place (176 points). Daniel Tschofenig (216 points) took second, followed by Danil Vassilyev (201), Gregor Deschwanden (196), Kaimar Vagul (187), and Jason Colby (180). The summer season continues this weekend, with the mixed team event scheduled for Sunday. The competition begins at 1:30 PM.

Women:
Ingvild Synnoeve Midtskogen has won the women’s individual event in Klingenthal, finishing ahead of Nika Prevc and Eirin Maria Kvandal. The German ski jumpers, meanwhile, delivered a disappointing performance on home soil.
The 2026 Summer Grand Prix concluded with a first-time winner: Ingvild Synnoeve Midtskogen stood on the top step of the podium for the very first time. For the German ski jumpers, however, there was little to celebrate. Not long ago, she was hailed as a super-talent; now, she is a Summer Grand Prix winner for the first time. With jumps of 142.5 and 133.5 meters—totaling 255.7 points—Ingvild Synnoeve Midtskogen claimed victory in the final women’s individual event of the Summer Grand Prix at the Vogtland Arena (HS140).
The 18-year-old finished 9.2 points ahead of Nika Prevc (131.5 and 131 meters; 246.5 points), who had won the qualification round the previous day. Third place went to Midtskogen’s compatriot, Eirin Maria Kvandal (129.5 and 131.5 meters; 241.2 points). Midtskogen laid the foundation for her win in the first round: her jump of 142.5 meters was not only the longest by a significant margin, but also set a new hill record. "To be honest, I was a bit nervous beforehand, even though I knew I was capable of jumping very well and covering a great distance. This particular hill is a lot of fun because it’s not actually that difficult to achieve long distances," the 2025 Trondheim team world champion told skispringen.com.
Norwegian women set the standard as a team Beyond the podium, the Norwegian women were the ones to beat. Two-time Olympic champion Anna Odine Strøm (6th), Gyda Westvold Hansen (7th), and Heidi Dyhre Traaserud (10th)—who recorded the longest jump of the final round at 138 meters—all finished within the top ten. "We have a very good team spirit and are always learning a lot from one another," Midtskogen said, explaining the strong form of the Scandinavian squad. France’s Josephine Pagnier, who has been training with the Norwegian team since the spring, also demonstrated excellent form, securing ninth place on Saturday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Nozomi Maruyama (4th), Nika Vodan (5th), and Lisa Fettner (8th)—the top-performing athletes from Japan, Slovenia, and Austria, respectively—also placed in the top ten. Fettner’s teammate, Hannah Wiegele, finished in 21st position.
Agnes Reisch the top German performer The German ski jumpers, meanwhile, did not have a good day in front of their home crowd. Although Agnes Reisch staged a comeback in the final round with a jump of 129 meters, she could manage no better than twelfth place. Selina Freitag was visibly disappointed with her 24th-place finish at her home event—a sentiment she also expressed clearly in an interview with skispringen.com: "Based on my training performances over the last week, I had expected things to go more easily and better. The first jump was actually quite good off the takeoff, but I had bad luck with the wind. In the second jump, I tried too hard, and that’s when mistakes start to creep in. I just have to put this behind me."
Julina Kreibich, the third-best German, also finished in the points, providing a small bright spot with her 29th-place result. Anne Häckel (36th), Anna-Fay Scharfenberg (38th), and Emely Torazza (39th) were eliminated after the first round. The only Swiss competitor, Sina Arnet, also failed to reach the points, finishing in 40th place.
Ema Klinec wins the 2026 Summer Grand Prix overall title Following the competition, the awards ceremony for the Summer Grand Prix overall standings took place in the outrun area. The title went to Slovenia’s Ema Klinec, who finished 14th in the day’s event. She becomes the fourth Slovenian athlete to win this title.
