The 1st Lillehammer Triple 2017 was a series of ski jumping competitions that took place between 1st and 3rd December 2017 as the start of the Ski Jumping World Cup 2017/18 . The competitions were held by Lysgårdsbakken in Lillehammer in Norway . The competition series consisted of three individual competitions, of which two competitions were initially held on the normal hill and then one competition on the large hill.
The training for the third competition on the large hill took place on December 2nd, 2017 after the second competition on the normal hill. The competition took place on December 3, 2017. Only the best 30 jumpers of the overall World Cup were allowed to start. Since Anna Rupprecht wanted to spare her knee after her cruciate ligament injury the previous year and therefore decided not to start, only 29 athletes were registered. Since this was the first women's World Cup competition on this large hill, a new hill record was set. Katharina Althaus initially set this to 138.5 meters in the first round, which she improved to 139.5 meters in the final round.
