Norway's nineteen year old jumped from a lower starting pole than the competition, making the best measure with 123.5 meters made the lead, 95% accurate HS, so he forfeited the bonus points. Riiber is one of two athletes are able to cross the point K.
The other was the Gardena Samuel Costa, runner. For him a placing of prestige, caught with a provision of 116.5 meters, the gap from the winner, however, is heavy, ie 18 lengths, to change 1'12 '' on the narrow skis.
Then we find an Austrian trio led by Wilhelm Denifl, ahead of Bernhard Gruber and Franz-Josef Rehrl, already far more than a minute and a half by the young Norwegian.
In slight breathlessness the rulers of the month just ended: the Germans. The best was Bjoern Kircheisen 9th, just ahead of the yellow bib Johannes Rydzek. Further back, Eric Frenzel 17 ° and 22 ° Fabian Riessle. However all the Teutonic mentioned are enclosed in little more than 30 '', which confirms that the trampoline that will host the World Cup in less than two months after all tight to create separations, except Riiber.
Three athletes from the big name does not get under way in the competition tomorrow: Taylor Fletcher and Bernhard Flaschberger won, respectively, 52 ° and 53 ° score while Haavard Klemetsen was disqualified for illegal equipment.
As for the blue team, remember that the only Costa is present in Finland, while his team mates were hijacked on the Continental Cup to Hoeydalsmo and Alessandro Pittin is at home to train for races more congenial to him.
The program for tomorrow is as follows: at 9:30 Italian time there will be a race jumping, while at 13.00 will be kicked off the gundersen 10 km.
