Canada's Alexandria Loutitt claimed World Cup silver in women's ski jumping on Friday in Engelberg, Switzerland.

The Calgary native had a total score of 290.2 in the large hill competition.

France's Josephine Pagnier (293.0) earned gold, while Slovenia's Ema Klinec (289.4) took bronze.

Loutitt set a new hill record of 139 metres on her second jump to moved up from fourth to second place.

"I'm pretty happy even though I didn't win," said Loutitt, who was also second best in Thursday's qualifying round to determine the top-40 athletes on Friday. "My goal was not to be too early today. I was about three metres late [in my first jump] but I was able to find the middle ground and perfectly hit the takeoff [on my second jump] and it felt very good."

It was the third World Cup medal of the season for Loutitt.

The 19-year-old grabbed silver in the large hill event and a bronze in the normal hill earlier this month in Lillehammer, Norway.

"This is the first time that I've been able to fully prepare for a World Cup season and first with these coaches for a full World Cup year," added Loutitt, who had knee surgery prior to breaking her foot last summer in training at the team's home base in Planica, Slovenia.

"After surgery, I was jumping, training and preparing, but I was really in recovery mode and then I broke my foot so I really didn't have a full season."

Loutitt won gold in large hill at last season's world championship in Planica and was a bronze medallist in the mixed team event at the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

The women's large hill competition will make its Olympic debut at the 2026 Games in Milano/Cortina.

The World Cup continues on Saturday in Engelberg.
