This morning Frenzel established himself in a very well-balanced jump segment. With a performance of 130.5 m, half a meter above the HS point, it in fact preceded by measurement Mario Seidl (+0: 05), Jan Schmid (+0: 10) and Franz-Josef Rehrl (+0: 10). All the others have instead paid over half a minute. Among them also Akito Watabe, 5th to 38 "and above all Jarl Magnus Riiber, 10th to 59".
In the first part of the background fraction the head quartet has regrouped and nobody really took the initiative until the final stages. The first jolt came when Schmid took the lead to raise the pace and Mario Seidl, who had to settle for the wooden medal, paid the price.
On the last climb Frenzel launched the decisive attack, breaking away from the queues before Rehrl and then Schmid. The German then moved to the third individual world gold, perhaps the least predictable of his career. Behind him the silver went to the Norwegian Jan Schmid, who closed at 4 ", preceding in turn the Austrian Franz-Josef Rehrl, bronze.
The disappointment of the day is certainly Riiber, in strong comeback on the narrow skis, but at the end 5 ° to 20 "from Frenzel In the final the Norwegian preceded Akito Watabe 6th and Fabian Riessle 7th. German Johannes Rydzek, finished behind even in the French Antoine Gerard.
Excellent test in Italy for the young Aaron Kostner. After having closed the jump test in 17th position, the Val Gardena remounted in the bottom, finishing 13th at 1'17 "from the winner, while Samuel Costa and Alessandro Pittin, respectively 18th and 22nd, stood around 20th place. Raffaele Buzzi struggled in the jump at the end of the 33rd.
