Viktoria van der Heijden shines with the first podium in summer jumping!

What an exciting weekend for youngsters Viktoria van der Heijden from Kirchdorf an der Krems! In international summer jumping in Rastbüchl, she made it onto the podium for the first time and sensationally took third place in her age group. With jumps of 22.5 and 23 meters, the talented athlete trumped up and just missed second place - only 0.7 points separated from silver.

her father, Kevin van der Heijden, was enthusiastic about the great performance of his daughter. "This is a great development," he said and is happy about the progress that Viktoria has made in recent months. This performance is no coincidence: on the children's fourth tour she had already reached the sixth overall rank in her age group, and even at a home race in Hinzenbach, she was able to deliver a lot of performance despite small difficulties.

The competition in Rastbüchl sees many as an important test for the young talents. The young jumpers face particular challenges, but Viktoria showed on Saturday that she keeps her nerve.
