Greetings!
This is the second part of Carina Vogt's profile, which will take a closer look for Carina's Continental Cup years in ski jumping, season by season. Let's go straight into the story.
Carina Vogt's story (season by season):
2004/2005 Season:
The only available information from 2004/2005 season, is that 12-year-old Vogt participated in one FIS Race. It took place in Meinerzhagen in Germany. On 15th of August, 2005, Vogt was ranked 45th in her FIS debut. Competition was won by Slovenian Monika Pogladic, ahead of Lindsey Van from the United States of America and Austrian Daniela Iraschko (currently Iraschko-Stolz). All the 53 jumpers were allowed to jump twice. The youngest competitor was 7-year-old Vera Bagdaschwilli! During that time, FIS Cup was the second highest ranked Cup at the time, right behind Continental Cup.
2005/2006 Season:
There is no available information about Carina Vogt from this particular season. The reason isn't available from my sources.
2006/2007 Season:
Vogt made her Continental Cup debut in Klingenthal, Germany, August 6th, 2006. She finished in 31st, only one separated her from qualifying for the second round.
In winter season, Vogt participated in eight Continental Cup competition, scoring points in all the competitions. She began by finishing in very high 7th, on 14th of January, 2007, in Villach Austria. Competition was won by another German, Ulrike Graessler, who was followed by Austrians Jacqueline Seifriedsberger and Daniela Iraschko. The next day, January 15th, in Italian Dobbiaco, Vogt finished in her highest position of the season, which was 6th place, Norwegian Anette Sagen took 1st. Vogt's lowest position was 26th in Baiersbronn, Germany, 14th of February, 2007. Three days later, she concluded her Continental Cup season with 12th place in Schonach, Germany. In overall standings, Vogt was 26th with 169 points, but there were 20 competitions during the season, which is a good result, as she didn't participate even in a half of the season! Sagen won with 1340 points, 2nd was Graessler with 1252 points, and Van finished in 3rd with 1045 points.
One month after the competition in Schonach, FIS Ski Junior World Championships' medals were given in Tarvisio, Italy. On the first round, Vogt jumped 91.5 meters, and she took current 2nd with 115.5 points, one point behind leading Italian Lisa Demetz. In the first round's results, TOP2 kept their positions, and they were followed by Slovenian Maja Vtic, and Canadians Nata de Leeuw and Katie Willis. On the second round, Willis set pressure by flying 92.5 meters with great style. As Nata de Leeuw was disqualified on the second round, TOP3 jumpers were the only obstacle for Willis' gold. Vtic jumped 90.0 meters, and she lost by one point. Carina Vogt prepared for her jump: 90.0 meters with good style would be enough for the medal. Vogt launched herself into the air, but she landed at 88.5 meters, which was gave her current 3rd. Demetz kept her nerves, and took the gold medal a jump of 90.0 meters. TOP5: 1. Lisa Demetz ITA 229.5 points, 2. Katie Willis CAN 228.0 p, 3. Maja Vtic SLO 227.0 p, 4. Carina Vogt GER 223.5 p, 5. Juliane Seyfarth GER 208.5 p. It must have been a slight disappointment for Carina, but I'm sure that she knew that there were going to be lots of good results in this sort of events.
2007/2008 Season:
During summer part of the season, Vogt participated in four competitions. In Bischofsgruen, Germany, she was 10th. Three days later, August 15th, she landed on 11th place. Vogt achieved her best finishing position Bischofshofen, as she was 6th. She didn't qualify in her last summer season competition for the second round, because she finished in 45th. Those four competitions were in the Ladies Summer 4 Hill tournament, which Vogt concluded in 16th with 748.0 points. The tournament was won by Iraschko with 957.4 points.
Vogt jumped in six competitions during winter in Continental Cup. In Notodden, Norway, she was 8th and 10th. Over a month later, 23rd of January, 2008, she finished in 27th in Dobbiaco, Italy. Vogt's last three competitions were in Germany. In the first competition in Breitenberg, she took positions 17 and 20.
Vogt's final competition of the season began in a good way, as she flew 85.5 meters on Baierbronn's HS90 hill, which gave her 113.5 points, and 7th place after the first round. The first place was shared by Canadian Atsuko Tanaka and Austrian Jacqueline Seifriedsberger with 120.0 points. Sagen was 3rd, only one point behind the leaders. On the second round, Vogt sat on the starting bench, pushed herself, she gained speed of 85.7 km/h (53.263 mph), launched herself into the air, and she landed at 89.5 meters with great style. She took the lead with 236.0 points, and they were enough to keep her in the lead until the TOP3 of the first round. Continental Cup leader, Anette Sagen 89.0 meters, and despite Norwegian's worse points from style, Vogt had to give up the first position. Atsuko Tanaka flew over the HS line, 91.0 meters, and she took the lead from Sagen. Seifriedsberger couldn't keep the lead, as Austrian jumped 84.0 meters and her total score of 231.0 gave her 4th place in the overall results. Tanaka won, Sagen was 2nd and Vogt took her first ever podium in ladies' Continental Cup thanks to the best score of the second round, 122.5 points.
In the Continental Cup, Vogt was 18th with 237 points. The overall standings were topped once again by Sagen with 1400 points. Iraschko was 2nd with 928 points, and Seifriedsberger came in 3rd with 801 points. There were 16 competitions during the season, which also showed Vogt's strong form. With a very positive podium, Vogt could look forward to the next season with a nice smile on her face.
2008/2009 Season:
Unfortunately, ski jumpers seem to have syndrome: after a good season, comes a more difficult one; Vogt didn't avoid the syndrome. In summer, she participated in eight Continental Cup competitions. Vogt's finishing positions were: 16th, 24th, 23rd, 11th, 23rd, 21st 24th and 40th. Her best competition was in Bischofshofen, Austria, on 17th of August, and the worst one was on 27th of September in Oberstdorf, Germany.
Winter season went a bit better, but she finished only once in TOP10 during her six starts. On 10th of January, 2009, Vogt was 23rd, and the next day 30th in Schonach. One week later, she couldn't her podium from the previous season in Baiersbronn, as she finished in 24th and 18th. She participated in two competitions on HS100 hill in Notodden, Norway. First of the competitions, was her best one in the season, judging by the finishing position. After the first round, Vogt was 9th with a jump of 84.5 meters. On the second round, she landed at 84.0 meters, and she finished in equal 10th with Jessica Jerome. The next day, February 14th, 2009, Vogt took 12th place. It must be noted, that there were only 25 competiors in Notodden, whereas Baiersbronn had 39.
With 77 points, Carina Vogt was 37th in Continental Cup's overall standings. Anette Sagen was the best with 1091 points, Daniela Iraschko 2nd with 932, and with 927 points, 3rd place was taken by Ulrike Graessler. Vogt had a tough season behind herself, and it was time to climb closer to the top.
2009/2010 Season:
Summer season in Continental Cup was quite similar compared to the previous one. Vogt had the best competition on 8th of August, as she finished in 14th in Bischofsgruen, Germany. In Oberwiesenthal, on 14th of Augutst, she finished in 37th. In the other competitions, Vogt was ranked 26th, 21st and 20th. All of the competitions were held between 8th and 15th of August, 2009.
Vogt joined winter's Continental Cup in Baiersbronn Germany. As she hadn't competed in nearly five months, her shape was unknown. With number 20, Vogt flew incredibly 94.0 meters, 4 meters over the Hill Size line! She got from style points between 15.0 and 16.0. Her score was 125.0, and she took the lead. She kept the lead, until Anette Sagen's jump. Norwegian flew 93.5 meters, but her points on style were between 16.0 and 17.0 points. Sagen was leading after the first round with 131.0 points, followed by Vogt and another Norwegian, Line Jahr, who also got 125.0 points. Current Continental Cup leader Daniela Iraschko flew 91.0 meters on the second round, and she started her climb from 6th place. Jacqueline Seifriedsberger and Jessica Jerome couldn't beat Iraschko. Vogt sat on the starting bench. She pushed herself, gained the highest speed of the round, 84.8 km/h (52,704 mph). Vogt launched herself into the air, and her skis touched the ground at 88.5 meters. Computers calculated for a while, and total score of 245.0 appeared on the screen, which meant that Vogt got the lead by 0.5 points! Vogt's first victory was in hands of two Norwegians. Jahr didn't even cross the K-point, as she landed at 84.0 meters. Sagen fought for meters, but 85.5 meters didn't seem to be enough. As Norwegian got worse points from style, it was for sure! Carina Vogt won her first ever Continental Cup competition in Baiersbronn, on 2nd of February, 2010!!! German was extremely happy and celebrating! TOP6: 1. Vogt GER 245.0 points, 2. Iraschko AUT 244.5 p, 3. Sagen NOR 242.5 p, 4. Jahr NOR 235.5 p, 5. Runggaldier ITA 226.5 p, 6. Johnson USA 225.5 p.
Happy podium from the left: Daniela Iraschko, Carina Vogt, Anette Sagen. baiersbronn, Germany. 2nd of February, 2012.
The next day Vogt finished in 8th, as Iraschko took the win. Three days later, ladies had arrived in Schonach, another German skiing center. In the first competition, Vogt was equal third with Sagen after the first round with 109.5 points, 16.5 points behind leading Iraschko, Ulrike Graessler was 2nd. On the second round, Vogt landed at 94.0 meters, only two meters before the Hill Size line. Sagen flew 92.0 meters, which wasn't enough to beat the German. Graessler tried to challenge her team mate, but 89.0 meters wasn't enough to keep her even in TOP4. Iraschko jumped 90.0 meters, but it was enough for the win, even though Vogt scored the biggest amount of points on the second round. These results ment the second podium in four days, and Carina's third one in Continental Cup! TOP5: 1. Iraschko AUT 241.0, 2. Vogt GER 229.0, 3. Sagen NOR 226.0, 4. Seyfarth GER 221.0, 5. Graessler GER 220.5. The next competition was in Schonach, but it was held 17 days later than the previous one, because two competitions in Braunlage were cancelled. Vogt did good job, by jumping two solid jumps and finishing in 6th.
The next event for Vogt was FIS Ski Junior World Championships in Hinterzarten, Germany. Despite her great position in overall Continental Cup at the moment, she was given starting number 9 among 41 athletes. Obviously, it didn't do good for Vogt, as she jumped 95.0 meters and her score of 111.0 points was enough only for 10th place after the first round. TOP5 jumpers on the results had numbers 21, 33, 37, 32 and 26. It's a sign of better conditions, but there is a possibility that Vogt didn't pull of a perfect jump. On the second round, Carina topped the speed rankings with 91.9 km/h (57,116 mph), and she landed at 103.0 meters. Swiss Bigna Windmueller succeeded better with her landing, as she flew 100.5 meters and overtook Vogt by 1.5 points. Sara Takanashi, Anna Ruprecht, Melanie Faisst and Juliane Seyfarth failed one after another to beat the TOP2. Sarah Hendrickson kept her nerves, and took the lead from Swiss jumper by 8.0 points by jumping 97.5 meters. When Coline Mattel flew 101.0 meters, Vogt's medal chances were gone. Italian Elena Runggaldier took the gold: Italian jumped 106.5 and 102.0 meters, and collected 267.5 points, 9.5 more than Mattel. TOP6: 1. Elena Runggaldier ITA 267.5, 2. Coline Mattel FRA 258.0, 3. Sarah Hendrickson USA 249.5, 4. Bigna Windmueller SUI 241.5, 5. Carina Vogt GER 240.0, 6. Jacqueline Seifriedsberger AUT 239.5. Vogt was probably disappointed, but she still had right to participate in two more FIS Ski Junior World Championships.
A week after the Junior World Championships, Vogt returned to the Continental Cup. She finished 9th and 21 st in Ljubno. A week after that she was 14th in the first competition in Villach, but the second one lasted only one round for her, as she jumped on HS98 hill 60.5 meters, which brought her 47th position in the race. Last four competitions were held at the beginning of March. On 1st and 2nd of March, Vogt finished in 5th in Zao, Japan. On 6th and 7th of March, the final competitions were held in Zakopane. In the first one, Vogt was 15th, and she concluded her season with a 10th place in the competition.
Generally speaking, the season was a success: two podiums, first Continental Cup win, and 8th place in the overall standings with 441 points (11 starts of 18 possible!). The only minor minus were the FIS Ski Junior World Championships, but she still had time. Vogt had a great season behind herself.
2010/2011 Season:
For some unkown reason, Vogt couldn't participate during the summer. From this particular season, she has only ten results. All of them are from the winter season, which was also the first season, where wind and gate compensation were included to the rules.
Her first competition was the best one in Continental Cup, considering the finishing position. After the first round, Vogt was 15th with a jump of 84.5 meters (+6.0/0.0) and 94.5 points. On the second round she improved by flying 89,5 meters (+4.3/0.0) and gathering 199.3 points in total, which gave her 11th place in the official results. In two competitions in Hinterzarten, Vogt was 15th and 17th. In Braunlage, eight days after the competition in Schonach, she equaled her season's best. The next day she was 13th.
Carina took a pause from Continental Cup, as she was chosen to represent Germany in Junior World Championships. She was still fighting for her first medal ever. Vogt had the last number, 51. She topped the speed rankings with 88.4 km/h (54.941 mph), but something didn't go right: 92.5 meters with a bad landing gave her again 10th position after the first round, and she was 11.5 points from the medal. On the second round she was the fastest, 87.8 km/h (54.568 mph), but she didn't fly more than 92.5 meters. 227.0 points in total brought her 8th place, which probably wasn't 18-year-old jumper's goal. Coline Mattel took the gold with 257.5 points, Slovenian Spela Rogelj was 2nd with 254.0 points, and bronze went to Japan with Yuki Ito and 252.0 points.
One and a half week later, Vogt was back in the Continental Cup, and took 15th and 20th in Brotterode, Germany. She concluded her season in Ramsau, finishing 16th and 17th. In the overall Continental Cup standings, Vogt collected 154 points in 9 of 22 competitions. Not bad. This season was another tough one, but new chances would be given, as for the next season FIS decided to organize first ever Ladies World Cup season!
In the last part, we will catch up with Carina Vogt's World Cup history so far, and her greatest achievements. Don't forget to check it out, as it will be released during tomorrow, 20th of March, 2015. Enjoy your day, and thank you for reading! :)

Graessler tried to challenge her team mate, but 89.0 meters wasn't enough to keep her even in TOP4.

Vogt did good job, by jumping two solid jumps and finishing in 6th.
The next event for Vogt was FIS Ski Junior World Championships in Hinterzarten, Germany. Despite her great position in overall Continental Cup at the moment, she was given starting number 9 among 41 athletes. Obviously, it didn't do good for Vogt, as she jumped 95.0 meters and her score of 111.0 points was enough only for 10th place after the first round. TOP5 jumpers on the results had numbers 21, 33, 37, 32 and 26. It's a sign of better conditions, but there is a possibility that Vogt didn't pull of a perfect jump. On the second round, Carina topped the speed rankings with 91.9 km/h (57,116 mph), and she landed at 103.0 meters.

Sara Takanashi, Anna Ruprecht, Melanie Faisst and Juliane Seyfarth failed one after another to beat the TOP2. Sarah Hendrickson kept her nerves, and took the lead from Swiss jumper by 8.0 points by jumping 97.5 meters. When Coline Mattel flew 101.0 meters, Vogt's medal chances were gone. Italian Elena Runggaldier took the gold: Italian jumped 106.5 and 102.0 meters, and collected 267.5 points, 9.5 more than Mattel. TOP6: 1. Elena Runggaldier ITA 267.5, 2. Coline Mattel FRA 258.0, 3. Sarah Hendrickson USA 249.5, 4. Bigna Windmueller SUI 241.5, 5. Carina Vogt GER 240.0, 6. Jacqueline Seifriedsberger AUT 239.5. Vogt was probably disappointed, but she still had right to participate in two more FIS Ski Junior World Championships.
A week after the Junior World Championships, Vogt returned to the Continental Cup. She finished 9th and 21 st in Ljubno. A week after that she was 14th in the first competition in Villach, but the second one lasted only one round for her, as she jumped on HS98 hill 60.5 meters, which brought her 47th position in the race. Last four competitions were held at the beginning of March. On 1st and 2nd of March, Vogt finished in 5th in Zao, Japan. On 6th and 7th of March, the final competitions were held in Zakopane. In the first one, Vogt was 15th, and she concluded her season with a 10th place in the competition.
Generally speaking, the season was a success: two podiums, first Continental Cup win, and 8th place in the overall standings with 441 points (11 starts of 18 possible!). The only minor minus were the FIS Ski Junior World Championships, but she still had time. Vogt had a great season behind herself.
2010/2011 Season:
For some unkown reason, Vogt couldn't participate during the summer. From this particular season, she has only ten results. All of them are from the winter season, which was also the first season, where wind and gate compensation were included to the rules.
Her first competition was the best one in Continental Cup, considering the finishing position. After the first round, Vogt was 15th with a jump of 84.5 meters (+6.0/0.0) and 94.5 points. On the second round she improved by flying 89,5 meters (+4.3/0.0) and gathering 199.3 points in total, which gave her 11th place in the official results. In two competitions in Hinterzarten, Vogt was 15th and 17th. In Braunlage, eight days after the competition in Schonach, she equaled her season's best. The next day she was 13th.
Carina took a pause from Continental Cup, as she was chosen to represent Germany in Junior World Championships. She was still fighting for her first medal ever. Vogt had the last number, 51. She topped the speed rankings with 88.4 km/h (54.941 mph), but something didn't go right: 92.5 meters with a bad landing gave her again 10th position after the first round, and she was 11.5 points from the medal. On the second round she was the fastest, 87.8 km/h (54.568 mph), but she didn't fly more than 92.5 meters. 227.0 points in total brought her 8th place, which probably wasn't 18-year-old jumper's goal. Coline Mattel took the gold with 257.5 points, Slovenian Spela Rogelj was 2nd with 254.0 points, and bronze went to Japan with Yuki Ito and 252.0 points.
One and a half week later, Vogt was back in the Continental Cup, and took 15th and 20th in Brotterode, Germany. She concluded her season in Ramsau, finishing 16th and 17th. In the overall Continental Cup standings, Vogt collected 154 points in 9 of 22 competitions. Not bad. This season was another tough one, but new chances would be given, as for the next season FIS decided to organize first ever Ladies World Cup season!
In the last part, we will catch up with Carina Vogt's World Cup history so far, and her greatest achievements. Don't forget to check it out, as it will be released during tomorrow, 20th of March, 2015. Enjoy your day, and thank you for reading! :)
