The workouts were foreshadowed in a struggle for victory restricted to Sara Takanashi and Daniela Iraschko-Stolz, with half a dozen jumpers'' to play for the last spot in the top-three. The competition was actually much more balanced and above all, has seen an unexpected winner.
In fact, the'' gold medal went to Germany Carina Vogt. The twenty-two of Degenfeld has built its success making the jump better in the first set and then collect the interest in the second, where it took the fifth score.
The victory of Vogt is a sensation as the Teutonic had never excelled in the World Cup, stopping four times the square of honor'' and five in the third. In any case, this is not a complete surprise to both the eight podiums out of thirteen races in the season, and the fact that the jumper in question, despite being a "heavyweight" has a superfine jumping technique.
It should also be pointed out that Germany, the superpower of the ski jump, had not won an Olympic gold medal in ski jumping team event tout court in Salt Lake City in 2002. At the individual level the'' last statement dated even in Lillehammer 1994 Jens Weißflog.
'' Today's silver medal went to Daniela Iraschko-Stolz. '' The Austrian exceeded by 1.2 points from Vogt, was fifth after the first half because of a jump is not a complete success for a break unhappy, however, has risen to second place thanks to a better score in the second series.
Bronze medal for the French Coline Mattel, which has confirmed its qualities of great athletes. The Alps as usual it is enhanced in the race compared to the growing level of training and competing in the best race of the season so far subdued. The eighteen year old Les Contamines, second after the first series, it was the defense in the second paying Vogt 2.2 lengths, exactly the same advantage maintained Sara Takanashi.
The Japanese, who won 10 of 13 races of the World Cup season, finished fourth and had to cash in a resounding defeat. Consider that the Asian diciassetenne not come down from the podium of the first winter in a competition level since February 3, 2013 and was open strip of 20 consecutive top-three.
Today, however, Takanashi has failed failing in any way to make a difference and reiterating its idiosyncrasy Great Events. So far three holdings in the World Cup and Olympics won a silver medal despite being always among the eligible candidates for the medals and two times the favorite for the gold''.
Just behind the 3-point and claimed by Japan's podium was placed Evely Insam, author of a splendid performance. The Gardena, twenty years old'' yesterday, he made the best jumps and seasonal harvest a totally unexpected placement on the eve of the Olympic Games.
This is however the best result ever for the Italian jump in a competition at Five circles going to improve seventh Ivan Lunardi on Large Hill at Albertville in 1992. At home Italy Elena Runggaldier instead has confirmed that it had found no harmony with the trampoline and concluded in twenty-ninth place.
Sixth and seventh place for two other athletes eligible candidates in the race for medals, the Slovenian Maja VTIC and Japan's Yuki Ito, and should be ascribed to the Finnish voice disappointment Julia Kykkänen, only seventeenth. Sarah Hendrickson, returning from injury, it is instead the defense very well and finished twenty-first.
