In fact, since I was born of female jumping World Cup in 2011, ever a nation has achieved a hat-trick. Also Katharina Althaus was enrolled in the athletes managed to win in the maximum circuit, becoming the fourteenth to succeed, the second after Vogt for the German team.
The first segment of the race was the decisive one: on this occasion the athlete from Oberstdorf was the best by far, thanks to a benefit of 92.5 meters with great style. Svenja Wuerth was the only one to go that far, but telemark grin caused her to provisional second place at 3.2 points off the younger compatriot.
In the decisive series Bavarian administered the advantage previously accumulated, making the score of the third round by virtue of the jump from 90 meters. Second place was won by Olympic champion and World Championship in office - Carina Vogt - able to climb over the athlete Baiersbronn 1.9 points.
In summary, for Wuerth this is the first podium of his career, even though he has 23 years, then, his talent has exploded later than most of its rivals. While the third-placed today is the German ^ 4 to position themselves in the best 3 in the current season, so vintage amazing for Germany.
The secret it can be seen in the highest speed ever that they had the Teutonic leaving the tooth, especially in the last weekend in Slovenia. The impression is that they have found some unknown innovation to the rest of the world, which probably will be also introduced to the jumpers and Combiners in Lahti World Championships.
Maren Lundby, winner in the 24-hour race ago, she had to settle for fourth place: the domination of yesterday seemed far removed from today's standards, despite the weather conditions are found to be similar after all. However, in the overall standings it was able to overcome Yuki Ito, pulling himself alone behind Sara Takanashi.
Good comebacks in the second segment of the race have made Jacqueline Seifriedsberger and Ema Klinec, a tie for fifth place. The Slovenian was the author of a jump from 92 meters which earned the best score of the heats and the comeback of 5 positions with respect to the first series.
day of glory for Italy, is able to place two athletes in the top 10: Manuela Malsiner finished 7th, while Elena Runggaldier 10 ^. The Ortisei girl is the sixth consecutive results in the top ten, record for the blue team, while veteran of Santa Cristina has achieved the best result of the season, just when the season comes alive. The only minus for both, and for the whole Italian expedition, is that the low stylistic assessments, the result of telemark too mechanical and unnatural.
They completed the top 10 Daniela Iraschko-Stolz (8th) and Chiara Hoelzl (9 ^). The most disappointing was definitely the Styrian, in fact, after a jump of 96.5 meters, in what for her was a workout, the one expected at least on the podium, finally very distant.
Gardena The celebration continued with 15th place Lara Malsiner, the best career, having improved the thirtieth place caught in the opening of the 2015-16 World Cup in Lillehammer. The good news is represented above all by the excellent technical stability at stake, in fact, it produced the two performances were essentially equal level.
The points collected today are very heavy optic qualification to the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang County, as now Lara is in the best 35 in the special list. This would even be the fourth pectoral available to Italy, that is to say the maximum quota Pair of Germany, Japan and Slovenia among others.
outstanding achievement for Li Xueyao (23 ^), the first time in his career in the points. In turn is the second Chinese to have made inroads in the best 30 of the main circuit, the only previously Liu Qi was able to attain this goal, the last time three years ago at that Chaikovsky.
The last Gardena present in Ljubno has unmarked points: Evelyn Insam has not gone beyond the 33 ^ square with a decidedly below-par performance. The other blue have failed to overcome the obstacle of the qualification: Roberta D'Agostina finished 33rd, while Veronica Gianmoena 39th.
The general classification of the World Cup sees ever closer to victory Takanashi Crystal Ball, as it is leading with 1195 points, followed by Lundby at an altitude 939 to 928. So Ito and just a fifth to twenty Kamikawa, in the race on Wednesday 15 in Pyeong Chang, to be crowned winner of the sixth edition of the maximum circuit.
Now the female sector will rejoin with the male for pre-Olympic competitions in Korea. In less than three days there will be the first race will start at 9.00 am Italian time.
