Fortunately, the FIS, solicited by various national federations, is back on his feet'' by granting eligibility also to those born in 1998, including precisely Klinec.
The Slovenian has emerged with great authority making the best score in both jumps in a competition characterized by a wind of changing intensity. The teenager, however, has held up in the best way the burden of having to jump last in the second series.
Piazza d'' honor for Sarah Hendrickson, inchinatasi the younger rival of 1.9 points. '' The American was unusually joke on friendly territory, or the style. The U.S. has in fact paid less than 5 points to the winner in the ratings of the judges (though perhaps slightly too large for his second jump) and had to settle for second place. However remarkable result considering how the reigning world champion who has suffered from jetlag in recent days.

Big disappointment for the French Coline Mattel who finished in third place after the first series has slipped to ninth final, surpassed by'' American Jessica Jerome and the German Katharina Altahus and Carina Vogt.

Bad performance instead for Lisa Demetz and Evelyn Insam, finished in the rear of the rankings (forty-fifth and forty-seventh respectively).
The general classification is very short. Takanashi commands with 120 points, but Klinec and Ito are 20 lengths of delay, as well as Alexandra Pretorius but will no longer participate in any tender summer because of the serious knee injury she suffered a few days ago . Hendrickson is fifth with 40 points behind Takanashi.
