The final of the RAW AIR 2023 was dominated by the duel between Stefan Kraft and Halvor Egner Granerud.

Kraft won the day with spectacular flights, Granerud celebrated the overall victory at the RAW AIR (50.000,- Euro) and additionally the early win of the overall World Cup, which Granerud could celebrate already before the start of the competition, because his only remaining competitor, the Pole Dawid Kubacki, had cancelled his start due to private reasons.

Ready for RAW AIR

9. mar 2023

The women are ready to take on the ski flying hill. The 15 best in the standings after the races in Lillehammer will get the chance to compete in the historic ski flying competition on Sunday, March 19th. After years of campaigning, the women's world elite will jump down the mammoth hill in Vikersund during the finale of the RAW AIR tournament.

Since Granåsen is under renovation before the 2025 World Championships, there will be double races in Lillehammer. There have never been so many counting jumps in RAW AIR before. With a total of 18 counting jumps for the men and a total of 14 counting jumps for the women spread over ten days, the athletes must be extra focused to reach the top of the standings.

In addition to the traditional World Cup prize money, extra prize money has been set up for the RAW AIR standings. The prize money is equal for women and men, but the total amount on the women's side is lower due to one fewer race.

RAW AIR has sustainability at its core, and, among other things, there will be electric transport of equipment between the competition venues as a new feature in the 2023 tournament.

 In addition to the prize money regulated by the FIS WC rules, there will be paid extra prize money to the FIS World Cup RAW AIR Tournament overall top 3 athletes. First Prize Second Prize Third Prize € 50 000 € 20 000 € 10 000 € 40 000 € 15 000 € 5000
