France Braud and Laheurte partir front of everyone in the bottom of the team sprint World Championships in Lahti

It started the last World Championships Nordic Combined competition in that of Lahti, where France has confirmed the great feeling with the type of race in question: the team sprint. The transalpine reiterated performance of the past days and will start in front of everyone in the bottom segment.

Francois Braud is that Maxime Laheurte won their respective rotations, with two jumps of 125 meters and have inflicted a gap of 8.1 lengths on the most immediate pursuers, then 16 '' under Regulation in force (1 point equals 2 '' ). Will wear the bib number 2 German Eric Frenzel and Johannes Rydzek. Both have recorded the third score in its series of jumping and overall got a better performance thanks to the Saxon reached 125.5 meters. Third partial square to Japan, led by brothers and Yoshito Watabe Akito: the older of the two was clearly the best, but a good response also emerged from the youngest. The Japanese will start with a passive 18 '' by the victorious French. Have limited even delayed Norway and Austria: the team consists of Magnus Krog and Magnus Moan will start at 24 '' from the head, while the one formed by Bernhard Gruber and Wilhelm Denifl to 28 ''. Scandinavians have spoken well to expectations, unlike flying athletes Rot-Weiß-Rot flag, far more disappointing. The top 5 countries classified after the jump seem the only ones able to play for heavy metals: in this respect will be decisive strategies that follow the different pairs, so at this point the prediction seems more than uncertain, considering the very challenging track. A hint of disappointment for the host team (6th): Eero Hirvonen and Ilkka Herola start in 48 '' by the French. They both are expressed at the same level, so the younger of the two has again disappointed, while the other has done its work in line with their own limits. Italy enjoyed in the half: Alessandro Pittin has found a jump in point K area, so one of the most positive of the World Championships, if not the best; reverse speech for Samuel Costa, having recorded a measure of 3 meters below the Friulian, but in his defense it must be said that he found the wind conditions worse for the whole contest. The Azzurri will leave for eighth at 1'29 '', also beaten by Slovenia (1'04 '') represented by Vid Vrhovnik and Marjan Jelenko. The bottom segment (10x1.5 km) will start at 17:15 Italian time, when will stage a big fight and you can write an important page in the history of Nordic combined.
