· Yahoo Sports
Yuki Ito ended a 26-month ski jumping winning drought as she soared to victory in Oslo in a Japanese one-two, while Slovenian champion Nika Prevc suffered a second worst result of the season in sixth place.
Ito rose from fourth to first with 127 and 126.5 metres as she edged team-mate and first round leader Nozomi Maruyama by half a point. Maruyama had 123m and 125m to finish second like on Saturday.

Double Olympic champion Anna Odine Strøm repeated third place with 122m and 120.5m for hosts Norway at the famous Holmenkollen venue.
Ito claimed her 10th career win and first since January 2024.
World Cup champion Prevc rose from fifth to first on Saturday but was unable to repeat the trick on Sunday when she dropped from fifth to sixth with two jumps of 120m.
Prevc had only fared worse once in 2025-26 when she came 15th in the season-opener in November in Lillehammer. Since then, apart from one disqualification, she had not finished worse than fourth en route to claiming a World Cup season points record. Prevc also has a record 17 wins in one campaign, which ends in a fortnight.
A men's large hill event was scheduled for later Sunday in Oslo.
