IRON MOUNTAIN — Olympic champion Manuel Fettner starred Saturday for a second straight day at Pine Mountain’s FIS Continental Cup, tying the hill record of 461 feet that he set during Friday’s opening meet.

Fettner placed first in the morning competition of Saturday’s doubleheader, gliding 440 feet on his best ride. On his first jump in the afternoon session, he uncorked the 461-footer that stands as the longest jump since hill renovations — including a new scaffold — were undertaken in 2020.

The 39-year-old Fettner had a 461-foot-jump on his first ride Friday when he placed fourth after receding to 410 feet on his second effort. After testing the hill’s limits with his record leaps, Fettner in both instances moved to a lower gate on his subsequent rides.

Friday’s winner, Robert Johansson of Norway, rallied to a first-place finish in Saturday’s afternoon competition with jumps of 436 and 435 feet.

The FIS scoring system allows for gate/wind compensation, which is included in each skier’s point total, along with distance and style grades.

Fettner’s second ride in the Saturday afternoon event was 412 feet and he placed second.

Finishing third was Markus Eisenbichler of Germany with jumps of 443 and 389 feet. Fourth was Maciej Kot of Poland at 422 and 428 feet while Jonas Schuster of Austria claimed the fifth spot with jumps of 415 and 410 feet.

In the Saturday morning event, Eisenbichler placed second and had the longest ride of that competition at 450 feet.

Rounding out the top spots in the morning round were Zak Mogel of Slovenia, third; Austria’s Schuster, fourth; and Kot, fifth.

Mogel’s longest ride was 440 feet, while Schuster had a jump of 427 feet and Kot sailed 420 feet on both of his attempts.

Andrew Urlaub was the top U.S. finisher of the weekend, cracking the top 10 with leaps of 435 and 402 feet on Friday.

Fettner won an Olympic gold medal when Austria claimed the large hill team event at the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing, China. His 461-foot jumps are 11 feet shy of the all-time Pine Mountain record set by Austria’s Clemens Aigner in 2020, just before work on a new scaffold began.

Fettner completed only one jump on Sunday but did earn the Robert “Butch” Wedin Weekend Warrior prize.

Second place Friday went to 22-year-old Markus Mueller of Austria with distances of 433 and 430 feet. Eisenbichler sailed 423 and 436 feet and placed third on Friday.
