Austrian woman ski jumps 200 meters


Austria's Daniela Iraschko became the first woman to record a 200-meter ski jump.

She set the mark Wednesday during testing for a men's World Cup event this weekend. There are no professional competitions in the sport for women.

The 19-year-old woman reached 200 meters in her third attempt after landing at 157 and 188 meters in her first two jumps.
