The competition was complicated by rapid changes of wind intensity, always behind the athletes, who have greatly influenced the results: this, however, is not news, in fact, already in the past year, were canceled the series on the trampoline, including the second last race.
The winner was, once again, Jarl Magnus Riiber, dominant since the training jumps with a performance of 107.5 meters, by two shafts lower than all the competition, has dealt 4.2 lengths (17 '' on skis) the closest rival, Johannes Rydzek.
The Norwegian has again had problems at the landing stage, so that has lost 3.5 points in judges' assessments with the athlete to Oberstdorf. The latter has got one of the best performances on last month trampoline, landing to the same extent of the Oslo nineteen.
Third place went to Samuel Costa: a performance by 104 meters, with a lot more complicated weather conditions than Riiber and Rydzek, caused him to limit the damage, conceding 20 '' to the young Norwegian. Then we find Bernhard Gruber, now recovered from the ills of the past weeks and the level of last season.
Who has not impressed, in a context favorable to him always, was Eric Frenzel (8th). As well as in PCR, even in training that preceded it did not have big margin over rival Oberstdorf, indeed. I wonder if you really loved the Seefeld will be decisive in the fight against crystal ball, in favor of Rydzek.
Just behind the Saxon there Akito Watabe, 1 '' by Frenzel and 49 '' from Riiber. Further back, the other two Teutonic present in the best 5 of the General Fabian Riessle and Bjoern Kircheisen, respectively in 15th and 17th place, at 1'05 '' and 1'10 '' from today's winner.
Magnus Moan and Antoine Gerard have not jumped today, so if tomorrow were to be canceled the competition segment, would be excluded from all competitions of the weekend.
growth signals from other blues present in the Tyrolean town: the best was Alessandro Pittin (46th) minute from the thirtieth square, which represents the points; Lukas Runggaldier (48 °) and Armin Bauer (50 °) can also feed them some hope to close the event Sunday, urge, however, even a small step forward to further limit the damage in the contract segment less congenial to them.
Tomorrow it will start at 14.00 with ski jumping HS 109, to continue with the test two hours after the close of 5 Km skiing.
