NEWS 'In fact by the time all season 2016-'17 is a highlight, as the struggle between Eric Frenzel and Johannes Rydzek for winning the World Cup is more and more heated. The weekend in Chaux-Neuve said well to the Bavarian, who has recovered 70 points to Saxon and is reported to -14. However, between the two in France there have been sparks due to a contact on the track.
The challenge now moves in Seefeld, which as fans know, is fertile ground for Frenzel.
 TRIPLE REGULATION First, it is important to remember the rules of the event, the only one in the panorama of winter sports in the way he expected a reduction of the starters field.
All registered athletes taking part in the first stage, structured on a jump and 5 km cross-country. Only the best 50 players from entering the second stage.
The next day we race on a jump and 10km cross. Only the top 30 gain access to the final stage which takes place on two jumps and 15 km Cross.
Every athlete brings with it the result of the previous day. So at the end of the cross-postings in second segments they are converted into points. The starting delamination of the bottom segment of the next stage are therefore determined by adding the points of the segment to jump those inherited from the day before.
Points of the World Cup halved (rounded up if the decimal) are assigned to the first 30 athletes who cross the finishing line at the end of the first and second stage.
Instead of the World Cup doubled points are awarded based all''ordine arrival of the final day.
HISTORY SEEFELD Located in Tyrol, near Innsbruck, not far from the border with Germany, Seefeld has a great historical pedigree in terms of Nordic sports.
Suffice it to say that was the scene of the opening race of the World Cup combined.
The December 17, 1983 won ex aequo the 'American Kerry Lynch and the German dell''est Uwe Dotzauer with another German dell''Est, Günter Schmieder, in third place.
In addition the town has organized the Nordic World Ski Championships of 1985 and will be buzzing with those of 2019. In addition, the fact of having hosted races from different disciplines (biathlon, Nordic combined, jumping, cross country) valid for both games 1964 Olympic 1976.
The trampoline, built in 1931 and named in 1948 to Anton Seelos (winner of four world championship gold medals in alpine skiing), was completely rebuilt in 2010.
It is currently considered the 'more extreme absolute system between Normal Hill. As reflected in the point K, set at 99 meters, and the 'Hill size, located at 109 meters.
we must not forget, however, was how to Seefeld is an appearance in the maximum circuit calendar until 2004, the year from which instead became a permanent presence.
So far in this facility they were held 33 individual races valid for the World Cup, won by twelve different athletes. Among them stands out in undisputed Eric Frenzel, able to impose itself as many as 12 times!
Even the German, who has established himself here for the first time in 2010, boasts an impressive Filotto still open of 11 consecutive victories, as he excelled in all races held from 2013 onwards!
It goes without saying that Frenzel won all three conditions of the Nordic Combined Triple been staged so far. In 2016, however, he managed to cap off an epic comeback against Akito Watabe despite a crash in the jump.
If we look at the final list of Triple, Japanese is credited with a second (2016) and third place (2015). Better than he did Håvard Klemetsen, which stood at the place of honor both in 2014 and in 2015. It finally registered a third place for Magnus Moan (2015) and Fabian Rießle (2016).
The monopoly of the twenty-eight clear of Oberwiesenthal has drastically reduced the number of Combiners in activities to win on this slope. Besides Frenzel are only the names of the aforementioned Moan, who has excelled in two occasions (2009, 2011) and Hannu Manninen. The Finn has long been the Lord of Seefeld, since it was imposed 6 times here (although a row between 2004 and 2006) before the German player offuscasse with his impressive domination of recent years.
In terms of countries, the highest step of Seefeld waved six different flags. Evidently commands the German movement with 14 wins (13 as West Germany, including 1 before the fall of the Berlin Wall, and 1 as the DDR). Followed by Finland (7), Austria (5), France (4), Norway (3), and United States (1).
In this town historically Alessandro Pittin has always found it very good, so to be climbed three times on the podium. 31 January 2010 ranked third, as well as 17 December 2011. Instead, 18 December 2011 concluded at the 'honor.
