Greetings!
It's the third part of Carina Vogt's profile. We'll take a look at her World Cup career in seasons 2011/2012 and 2012/2013, and her debut in the World Championships. I wish you enjoyable reading!
2011/2012 Season:
Unlike in the previous season, Vogt competed during the summer season. On 13th of August, 2011, Vogt finished in 24th, and the next day she achieved her best result in the Summer Continental Cup, as she finished in 12th. Both of the competitions were held in Bischofsgruen, Germany. Three days later, on 18th of August, she participated in a FIS Cup race, in Poehla, Germany. In the results, Vogt was ranked in 11th. 19th and 20th of August, she spent jumping in Oberwiesenthal, Germany. In two Continental Cup competitions, she was 30th and 26th.
Carina continued her season in winter, which she started on 9th of December, in Notodden Norway. In the first Continental Cup competition, she jumped only once, as she finished in 35th. The next day she was already 25th.
Less than a month later, Vogt made her World Cup debut in Hinterzarten, Germany. She jumped with a number 3. She landed at 80.0 meters (wind compensation +1.1 points / gate compensation 0.0 p) and scored 79.1 points; 8.6 points separated her from her first World Cup points. Competition lasted only for a round, and it was surprisingly won by Swiss Sabrina Windmueller. Third Ladies' World Cup competition in history was also held in Hinterzarten. Carina jumped with number 2. She flew 90.5 meters (-2.9/0.0) and gathered 97.1 points, and she led the competition until jumper number 10. She waited, and in the results of the first round, Vogt was 26th. On the second round she didn't succeed in a similar way, as a jump of 84.0 meters (-5.5/0.0) dropped her from 26th to 30th, with a total score of 176.6 points, 1.7 points from 29th. On 8th of January, 2012, Carina Vogt achieved her first ever World Cup point.
Her best result of the season in World Cup competition was achieved on 4th of February. She was preparing for her third World Cup race in Hinzenbach, Austria on HS94 hill. Vogt prepared for her jump: she got the signal, and accelerated to speed of 85.0 km/h (52.828 mph), launched herself into the air, and her skis touched the ground at 84.0 meters (-2.2/0.0) and she scored 108.3 points. She had number 13, and she took the current lead by 7.3 points. After 20, 30 and even 40 jumps, Vogt was still leading. Ulrike Graessler flew 88.5 meters (-4.9/0.0) and got 112.6 points, which meant that jumper 41 was able to beat Vogt, who dropped to current third after Anette Sagen's 88.5 meters (-9.7/0.0). Katja Pozun dropped Carina from podium positions, as Slovenian jumped 90.5 meters (-9.6/0.0). Daniela Iraschko got lucky with the conditions; Austrian flew 96.0 meters (-10.2/0.0) at 1.67 m/s wind from towards. It got Iraschko total score of 123.3 points. World Cup leader, Sarah Hendrickson, prepared as a number 48. Her coach decided to play it safe, and drop the gate from position 13 to 11. Hendrickson started her jump with +4.8 points, which meant that she had to jump around 94.0 meters in similar conditions as Iraschko. Hendrickson flew 91.5 meters (-9.7/+4.8), but her points in style made it tighter. Hendrickson took second place after the first round, only 0.7 points behind Iraschko. Apparently, wind got stronger, which made second round impossible, and the results of the first round became official. TOP10: 1. Iraschko AUT 123.3 points , 2. Hendrickson USA 122.6 p, 3. Pozun SLO 114.4 p, 4. Graessler GER 112.6, 5. Sagen NOR 110.8, 6. Vogt GER 108.3, 7. Van USA 106.1, 8. Rogelj SLO 105.8, 9.Wuerth GER 105.6, 10. Vtic SLO 104.2. Vogt must have been very happy with the results.
The next day in Hinzenbach, she finished in 13th. Next two competitions were held a week later in Ljubno, Slovenia, where the German finished in 27th and 19th. Then she had a pause, to prepare for the FIS Junior Ski World Championships.
On 23rd of February, 2012, in Erzurum, Turkey, ladies jumped for the medals. Wind and gate factors weren't used in the competition, even though the wind changed quite a bit: from 0.2 m/s from behind up to even 1.2 m/s towards on the first round. On the second round it altered between 0.5 m/s from behind to 1.8 m/s towards! Vogt probably didn't even worry about it much. With number 39, she gained the best speed of the round, 90.9 km/h (56.495 mph), launched herself into the air, and landed at 102.5 meters. With 131.0 points, Vogt took current 2nd, only one point behind Coline Mattel, who had jumped 103.0 meters with number 38. Hendrickson took the lead, as she flew 105.0 meters and got 137.0 points. Her result was equaled in points by Sara Takanashi, even though the Japanese jumper jumped 108.5 meters. After the first round, Vogt was 4th, only one point from medal and six points from the gold. On the second round, Italian Evelyn Insam flew 101.0 meters, and set pressure for the remaining for jumpers. Vogt was the first jumper giving her answer. Once again top speed, 90.2 km/s (56.060 mph), good height, and her flight ended at 100.0 meters. She had 6.0 points gap over Insam, and 100.0 meters was enough. Vogt scored 255.5 points in total. Mattel had jump 100.0 meters to beat the German, but French jumper failed by jumping 93.0 meters, and gathering 241.0 points. Carina Vogt was a medalist, but the leaders decided the color. Hendrickson did a good jump. She took the lead, but 100.5 meters seemed a bit too short for the gold. Takanashi proved that, as Japanese jumper landed at 107.5 meters, and took the Junior World Championship. TOP6: 1. Sara Takanashi JPN 276.5 points, 2. Sarah Hendrickson USA 265.0, 3. Carina Vogt GER 255.5 p, 4. Evelyn Insam ITA 251.5 p, 5. Spela Rogelj SLO 250.0 p, 6. Coline Mattel FRA 241.0 p. Carina Vogt took her first ever Junior World Championships medal in her fourth and final attempt. It must have been a nice and relieving medal. It wasn't over yet, as two days later, Carina Vogt got silver Ramona Straub, Svenja Wuerth and Katharina Althaus, in ladies' team event. Gold went to Japan by 119.5 points! Germans finished 25.0 points ahead of Slovenians, who took bronze medals. Two medals in her final Junior World Championships; great job, Carina!

Ladies' World Cup season's final three competitions for Vogt, were held in Zao, Japan. She finished in 25th, 23rd and 26th. Due to those finishing positions, she wasn't chosen for the World Cup finale in Oslo. In the first ever edition of Ladies' World Cup, Carina Vogt was 27th in the overall cup with 96 points, after participating in 9 of 13 competitions. World Cup was won by Sarah Hendrickson, who gathered 1169 points. 2nd place for Iraschko with 779 points, and 3rd for Takanashi with 639 points. In Continental Cup, Vogt was ranked 66th with 6 points, by jumping in 2 of 7 competitions.
For the first time in her career, Carina succeeded better in FIS Junior Ski World Championships than in the overall cups. It came across as she got the highest peak of the shape at the most important moment. That feature would be very crucial for the future. She could look forward with optimism.
2012/2013 Season:
Vogt had a very nice summer season. For the first time arranged summer Grand Prix, she concluded in 4th with 154 points! She started competitions with 6th place in Courchevel, France. Two days later, on 17th of August, 2012, Vogt took her first ever podium in Grand Prix competition. On the first round she flew on Hinterzarten's HS108 hill 97.5 meters (+0.7/0.0), and she was 2nd with 119.2 points. On the second round Takanashi succeeded by jumping 99.5 meters (+1.9/0.0), which helped her to overtake Jacqueline Seifriedsberger. TOP2 were remaining; Vogt flew 96.5 meters (+2.2/0.0), and got 237.9 points in total, which gave her current 2nd. Daniela Iraschko was in her own class, as Austrian flew 99.0 meters (+2.5/0.0), and on the second round 103.0 meters (+0.9/0.0). TOP6: 1. Iraschko AUT 259.4 points, 2. Takanashi JPN 239.9 p, 3. Vogt GER 237.9 p, 4. Seifriedsberger AUT 235.0 p, 5. Iwabuchi JPN 230.2 p, 6. Pozun SLO 230.0 p. The next day, Germany finished in third in mixed team event. Their squad was Graessler, Vogt, Richard Freitag and Andreas Wank. Germans scored 967.2 points. Austrians won with 1026.9 points, followed by Japan, 1000.8 points. In two competitions in Almaty, Vogt was 7th and 14th. In the overall standings, she lost podium by 26 points. She seemed to be well prepared for the winter.

Vogt began winter season with a mixed team event, which wasn't Vogt's best competition, as she jumped 68.0 meters (+4.9/0.0) and 82.0 meters (+1.3/0.0) from Lillerhammer's HS100 hill. Despite her difficult jumps, Germany finished in 4th, 24.3 points from podium. The next, she was like a whole different jumper: on the first round, Vogt flew 100.0 meters (-1.7/0.0), but even though the second longest jump of the round, she was 8th after the first round due to her worse points from style. In comparison, Insam jumped 103.0 meters (-4.6/0.0), and was fourth after the first round. Sarah Hendrickson was leading with a jump of 98.5 meters (-3.5/+4.8), 6.0 points ahead of Vogt. On the second round, Carina Vogt landed at 99.5 meters (0.0/-4.8), longest jump of the round, and gathered 256.0 points. 7th, 6th, 5th and 4th jumpers after the first round couldn't beat her. Takanashi flew 98.0 meters (+1.3/0.0), and took the lead by 9.2 points. Anette Sagen jumped 97.0 meters (+0.8/-4.8) and Norwegian took current 2nd. Hendrickson's coach decided to drop the starting gate for the jumper from the United States. Gamble didn't work out perfectly, as Hendrickson landed at 95.0 meters (+1.1/0.0), and got 261.4 points in total. TOP6: 1. Takanashi JPN 265.2 points, 2. Hendrickson USA 261.4 p, 3. Sagen NOR 258.9 p, 4. Vogt GER 256.0 p, 5. Insam ITA 255.3 p, 6. Iraschko AUT 250.8 p. Great competition for Carina after the mixed team event.
The next two competitions were held in Sochi, Russia.So called pre-Olympic competitions went quite well from Vogt, who was 8th and 5th. A week later, in Ramsau, Austria, she took 10th place. Less than a month later, in Schonach, she took positions 8 and 12. Vogt concluded German 'tournee' with two 9th places in Hinterzarten. Two of four Japanese World Cup competitions were held in Sapporo. In the first one she was 20th, but in the second one back in TOP10, finishing in 9th.
The first competition in Zao, turned out to be a happy one for Carina Vogt. On the first round, current TOP4 jumpers were in their own league. Vogt began the group by landing at 89.0 meters (-2.9/0.0) and scoring 107.6 points. Seifriedsberger flew 88.0 meters (-2.0/0.0), and took current 2nd with 105.0 points. Hendrickson didn't beat Vogt either. Hendrickson jumped 88.0 meters (-1.3/0.0), but was only 0.4 points behind the German. Takanashi took the things to her own level with a bit of luck; 95.5 meters (-8.8/0.0), and total score 114.2 points gave her 6.6 points' lead. On the second round, Seifriedsberger had luck with winds, as she flew 92.5 meters (-8,5/0.0). Wind got lighter for Hendrickson, who landed at 85.0 meters (-3.3/0.0). Wind almost stopped for Vogt, who jumped 85.0 meters (-1.5/0.0) as well. She took current 2nd. Like magic, wind got stronger for Takanashi, who flew 93.5 meters (-6.2/0.0) and took the win. The most important fact was that Carina Vogt took her first ever World Cup podium, excellent job from her! TOP5: 1. Takanashi JPN 228.0 p, 2. Seifriedsberger AUT 212.0 p, 3. Vogt GER 207.1 p, 4. Hendrickson USA 205.4 p, 5. Jerome USA 197.5 p. On the second day, Vogt finished in fourth on her 21st birthday. Two solid jumps of 92.0 meters (-8.4/0.0) and 91.0 meters (-10.9/0.0) brought her 212.2 points in total, 10.4 points from podium.

Next time Vogt competed for the first time in her career in the World Championships, which were held in Val di Fiemme. On 22nd of February, 2013, gaining good speed was problematic, which forced the jury to raise the starting position from 21 to 23 after 28 jumpers. Carina Vogt flew 99.5 meters (-2.2/-6.2) on the first round, and took the current lead with 115.6 points. She was overtaken by Seifriedsberger, who jumped 104.0 meters (-3.6/-6.2). Mattel landed between them with a jump of 102.0 meters (-5.1/-6.2). Hendrickson flew on the HS line; 106.0 meters (-5.4/-6.2), got 127.4 points and took the lead from Seifriedsberger by 8.7 points. Takanashi couldn't take the lead, as she jumped 104.5 meters (-1.7/-6.2) and achieved 124.1 points. On the second round, Jessica Jerome threw a slight challenge by flying 98.0 meters (-4.9/0.0). Vogt topped the speed rankings with 88.7 km/h (55.127 mph), launched herself into the air, and landed at 96.0 meters (-5.7/0.0). The points from style were very important, and 1.5 points more from style helped Vogt to steal the lead by 0.5 points! Mattel jumped 95.5 meters (-5.2/0.0), but her advantage after the first round was enough to take current 1st. Seifriedsberger was the first jumper to secure her medal: 98.5 meters (-1.5/0.0) and total score of 237,2 points gave her the lead. TOP2 was yet to jump. Takanashi flew 103.0 meters (-3.1/0.0) and gathered 251.0 points. Hendrickson couldn't jump much less. Her skis touched the ground at 103.0 meters (-6.7/0.0). Jumper from the United States of America got 253.7 points, and won the World Championship. TOP6: 1. Sarah Hendrickson USA 253.7 p, 2. Sara Takanashi JPN 251.0 p, 3. Jacqueline Seifriedsberger AUT 237.2 p, 4. Coline Mattel FRA 229.5 p, 5. Carina Vogt GER 225.4 p, 6. Jessica Jerome USA 224.9 p.
Solid 5th place was a good debut for Carina Vogt, but she didn't have to leave the Championships empty handed. February 24th, 2013, first ever mixed team event at World Championships was organized. Vogt was in the team, and she thanked for that by jumping 95.5 meters (+6.2/0.0) and 98.0 meters (+2.1/0.0) and gathering 239.8 points in total. Japan won the competition with 1011.0 points, Austria was 2nd with 986.7 points, followed by Germany (Graessler, Freitag, Vogt, Freund), who got 984.9 points. 5th and bronze: great World Championships debut for Vogt!

Two World Cup competitions were waiting for female jumpers after the World Championships. Both of them were held in Norway. The first one in Trondheim, Vogt finished in 10th. The last competition was the first one for ladies, which was organized on a large hill. It took place in Oslo at HS134 Holmenkollbakken. On the first round, Vogt flew 124.0 meters (-12.5/0.0), and was 7th with 108.2 points. On the second round, Mattel went from 8th to 4th with a flight of 124.0 meters (-6.0/0.0). Vogt concluded her World Cup season by jumping 122.5 meters (-4.6/0.0) and her total score of 216.1 was enough for current 2nd. Seifriedsberger took the lead from French jumper, as Austrian flew 125.5 meters (+0.4/0.0) and scored 233.9 points. Katja Pozun and Lindsey Van couldn't cross the K-points' 120.0 meters' line, and they didn't beat competition's current TOP3. Runggaldier dropped Vogt from podium, because Italian jumped 116.5 meters (-2.6/0.0), and acheived 217.4 points in total. Takanashi destroyed Seifriedsberger from the lead, as she landed at 133.5 meters (-3.9/0.0) and beat Austrian by 26.9 points! Hendrickson remained unbeatable, as she won the World Championships, competition in Trondheim and also the finale. Hendrickson's skis touched the ground at 129.0 meters (-1.2/0.0) and brought her 130.5 points, which meant 262.8 points in total. TOP6: 1. Hendrickson USA 262.8 p, 2. Takanashi JPN 260.8 p, 3. Seifriedsberger AUT 233.9 p, 4. Mattel FRA 221.5 p, 5. Runggaldier ITA 217.4 p, 6. Vogt GER 216.1 p.
Very nice final competition. In the overall standings, Vogt was 7th with 481 points, 18 points from 6th.World Cup belonged to Takanashi, who collected 1297 points, followed by Hendrickson with 1047. Third place for Mattel, who got 823 points. Vogt participated 12 of 14 competitions. Her season was great: first World Cup podium, first World Championships medal, and TOP10 finish in overall World Cup. She was looking forward to the future seasons.
This has been the third part. Due to very action-packed 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 seasons', I have to make one more part that it wouldn't make too much reading for one post. Hopefully you enjoyed it, and remain patient. Enjoy your day, remember to follow to see the fourth part, where we'll also take a look at the future!

2012/2013 Season:
Vogt had a very nice summer season. For the first time arranged summer Grand Prix, she concluded in 4th with 154 points! She started competitions with 6th place in Courchevel, France. Two days later, on 17th of August, 2012, Vogt took her first ever podium in Grand Prix competition. On the first round she flew on Hinterzarten's HS108 hill 97.5 meters (+0.7/0.0), and she was 2nd with 119.2 points. On the second round Takanashi succeeded by jumping 99.5 meters (+1.9/0.0), which helped her to overtake Jacqueline Seifriedsberger. TOP2 were remaining; Vogt flew 96.5 meters (+2.2/0.0), and got 237.9 points in total, which gave her current 2nd. Daniela Iraschko was in her own class, as Austrian flew 99.0 meters (+2.5/0.0), and on the second round 103.0 meters (+0.9/0.0). TOP6: 1. Iraschko AUT 259.4 points, 2. Takanashi JPN 239.9 p, 3.

Vogt began winter season with a mixed team event, which wasn't Vogt's best competition, as she jumped 68.0 meters (+4.9/0.0) and 82.0 meters (+1.3/0.0) from Lillerhammer's HS100 hill. Despite her difficult jumps, Germany finished in 4th, 24.3 points from podium. The next, she was like a whole different jumper: on the first round, Vogt flew 100.0 meters (-1.7/0.0), but even though the second longest jump of the round, she was 8th after the first round due to her worse points from style. In comparison, Insam jumped 103.0 meters (-4.6/0.0), and was fourth after the first round. Sarah Hendrickson was leading with a jump of 98.5 meters (-3.5/+4.8), 6.0 points ahead of Vogt. On the second round, Carina Vogt landed at 99.5 meters (0.0/-4.8), longest jump of the round, and gathered 256.0 points. 7th, 6th, 5th and 4th jumpers after the first round couldn't beat her. Takanashi flew 98.0 meters (+1.3/0.0), and took the lead by 9.2 points. Anette Sagen jumped 97.0 meters (+0.8/-4.8) and Norwegian took current 2nd. Hendrickson's coach decided to drop the starting gate for the jumper from the United States. Gamble didn't work out perfectly, as Hendrickson landed at 95.0 meters (+1.1/0.0), and got 261.4 points in total. TOP6: 1. Takanashi JPN 265.2 points, 2. Hendrickson USA 261.4 p, 3. Sagen NOR 258.9 p, 4. Vogt GER 256.0 p, 5. Insam ITA 255.3 p, 6. Iraschko AUT 250.8 p. Great competition for Carina after the mixed team event.
The next two competitions were held in Sochi, Russia.So called pre-Olympic competitions went quite well from Vogt, who was 8th and 5th. A week later, in Ramsau, Austria, she took 10th place. Less than a month later, in Schonach, she took positions 8 and 12. Vogt concluded German 'tournee' with two 9th places in Hinterzarten. Two of four Japanese World Cup competitions were held in Sapporo. In the first one she was 20th, but in the second one back in TOP10, finishing in 9th.
The first competition in Zao, turned out to be a happy one for Carina Vogt. On the first round, current TOP4 jumpers were in their own league. Vogt began the group by landing at 89.0 meters (-2.9/0.0) and scoring 107.6 points. Seifriedsberger flew 88.0 meters (-2.0/0.0), and took current 2nd with 105.0 points. Hendrickson didn't beat Vogt either. Hendrickson jumped 88.0 meters (-1.3/0.0), but was only 0.4 points behind the German. Takanashi took the things to her own level with a bit of luck; 95.5 meters (-8.8/0.0), and total score 114.2 points gave her 6.6 points' lead. On the second round, Seifriedsberger had luck with winds, as she flew 92.5 meters (-8,5/0.0). Wind got lighter for Hendrickson, who landed at 85.0 meters (-3.3/0.0). Wind almost stopped for Vogt, who jumped 85.0 meters (-1.5/0.0) as well. She took current 2nd. Like magic, wind got stronger for Takanashi, who flew 93.5 meters (-6.2/0.0) and took the win. The most important fact was that Carina Vogt took her first ever World Cup podium, excellent job from her! TOP5: 1. Takanashi JPN 228.0 p, 2. Seifriedsberger AUT 212.0 p, 3. Vogt GER 207.1 p, 4. Hendrickson USA 205.4 p, 5. Jerome USA 197.5 p. On the second day, Vogt finished in fourth on her 21st birthday.

Next time Vogt competed for the first time in her career in the World Championships, which were held in Val di Fiemme. On 22nd of February, 2013, gaining good speed was problematic, which forced the jury to raise the starting position from 21 to 23 after 28 jumpers. Carina Vogt flew 99.5 meters (-2.2/-6.2) on the first round, and took the current lead with 115.6 points. She was overtaken by Seifriedsberger, who jumped 104.0 meters (-3.6/-6.2). Mattel landed between them with a jump of 102.0 meters (-5.1/-6.2). Hendrickson flew on the HS line; 106.0 meters (-5.4/-6.2), got 127.4 points and took the lead from Seifriedsberger by 8.7 points. Takanashi couldn't take the lead, as she jumped 104.5 meters (-1.7/-6.2) and achieved 124.1 points. On the second round, Jessica Jerome threw a slight challenge by flying 98.0 meters (-4.9/0.0). Vogt topped the speed rankings with 88.7 km/h (55.127 mph), launched herself into the air, and landed at 96.0 meters (-5.7/0.0). The points from style were very important, and 1.5 points more from style helped Vogt to steal the lead by 0.5 points! Mattel jumped 95.5 meters (-5.2/0.0), but her advantage after the first round was enough to take current 1st. Seifriedsberger was the first jumper to secure her medal: 98.5 meters (-1.5/0.0) and total score of 237,2 points gave her the lead. TOP2 was yet to jump. Takanashi flew 103.0 meters (-3.1/0.0) and gathered 251.0 points. Hendrickson couldn't jump much less. Her skis touched the ground at 103.0 meters (-6.7/0.0). Jumper from the United States of America got 253.7 points, and won the World Championship. TOP6: 1. Sarah Hendrickson USA 253.7 p, 2. Sara Takanashi JPN 251.0 p, 3. Jacqueline Seifriedsberger AUT 237.2 p, 4. Coline Mattel FRA 229.5 p, 5. Carina Vogt GER 225.4 p, 6. Jessica Jerome USA 224.9 p.
Solid 5th place was a good debut for Carina Vogt, but she didn't have to leave the Championships empty handed. February 24th, 2013, first ever mixed team event at World Championships was organized. Vogt was in the team, and she thanked for that by jumping 95.5 meters (+6.2/0.0) and 98.0 meters (+2.1/0.0) and gathering 239.8 points in total. Japan won the competition with 1011.0 points, Austria was 2nd with 986.7 points, followed by Germany (Graessler, Freitag, Vogt, Freund), who got 984.9 points. 5th and bronze: great World Championships debut for Vogt!

Vogt concluded her World Cup season by jumping 122.5 meters (-4.6/0.0) and her total score of 216.1 was enough for current 2nd. Seifriedsberger took the lead from French jumper, as Austrian flew 125.5 meters (+0.4/0.0) and scored 233.9 points. Katja Pozun and Lindsey Van couldn't cross the K-points' 120.0 meters' line, and they didn't beat competition's current TOP3.

Hendrickson remained unbeatable, as she won the World Championships, competition in Trondheim and also the finale. Hendrickson's skis touched the ground at 129.0 meters (-1.2/0.0) and brought her 130.5 points, which meant 262.8 points in total. TOP6: 1. Hendrickson USA 262.8 p, 2. Takanashi JPN 260.8 p, 3. Seifriedsberger AUT 233.9 p, 4. Mattel FRA 221.5 p, 5. Runggaldier ITA 217.4 p, 6. Vogt GER 216.1 p.

Third place for Mattel, who got 823 points. Vogt participated 12 of 14 competitions.
