In the first few kilometers Christoph Bieler, Eric Frenzel, Akito Watabe, Wilhelm Denifl and Jan Schmid are compacted, creating a group of five units that carried'' s agreement and had no problems dealing with the advantage over his rivals. In the final Schmid gave fire to the powder, but failed to remove the most dangerous rival, or Frenzel. The German counter-attacked and established itself in the Norwegian sprint, second, winning the fourth consecutive win and seventh of the season. The podium was completed by Watabe in front of the Austrian Bieler and Denifl, fourth and fifth respectively. Behind them, the other three Germans (Rydzek, Kircheisen, Edelmann) and two other Austrians (Stecher and Gruber). In Italy arrived home a punticino thanks to Joseph Michielli, thirtieth. Lukas Runggaldier was instead placed thirty-fourth. Â Frenzel is launched towards the conquest of the second crystal ball straight. The German has in fact risen to 853 points against 501 Watabe, riportatosi in second place ahead of Klemetsen (487) and Lamy-Chappuis, today sixteenth, (459). Some may ask, "But how?'' In the latest ranking published on NeveItalia Klemetsen share was over 500, and now we find him under?". The question is perfectly legitimate and as a response we can mention the latest episode of'' amateurism management which has become the protagonist of the FIS. Let's step back. In the rules of the World Cup (Click to read PDF) on page 9 it is clearly stated that the points awarded from first to thirtieth in the intermediate stages of the Nordic Combined Triple would have to be 50-40-30-25-23-20 - 18-16-15-13-12-11-10-9-8-8-7-7-6-6-5-5-4-4-3-3-2-2-1-1. Yet the ranking of the World Cup (Click to read PDF) had been updated following the scoring system used in the stages of the Tour de Ski, ovvero50-46-43-40-37-34-32-30-28-26- 24-22-20-18-16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. The FIS has realized the blunder committed and has quietly corrected everything. Sure, better late than never, but it is incredible to think that an international federation does not give regulatory certainty and becomes the protagonist of sittanto carelessness. Missing only four individual races counting towards the World Cup, so Frenzel with a lead of 352 lengths could theoretically end the game on February 28 in Lahti, where the next competition will be held in the maximum circuit. All the while that the margin is not reduced to a decision of the FIS to change the overall standings between races and the'' other'' s depending on humidity in the air''. In between, of course, the Olympic Games in Sochi. The first competition in five circles is scheduled for February 12. OBERSTDORF - GUNDERSEN LH/10 KM1. FRENZEL Eric (GER) 27'' 32 "22.
