The result of the race reflected in all respects the prediction of the vigil, which saw its winning the Teutonic team of Slovenian and Austrian ones. To be honest, we expected a more open and interesting battle for success, finally, failure in part because of the changing wind conditions.
The German hegemony was clear from the first jump, when the gap on Slovenia stood at around 20 points for the winners, then never diminished. In a single rotation, the team of Agnes Reisch, Luisa Goerlich, Pauline Hessler and Gianina Ernst, lost the leader box, or after the second performance of the entire trial, in favor of Rot-Weiß-Rot team.
At the end of the half, the positions are frozen permanently, without undergoing any change more. The Teutonic best of all came Reisch, author of the third best ever score, considering all 35 athletes at the start, performance enhanced by the longest jump of the day from 95 meters, however, with strong head wind (2.5m / s! ).
The Isny ​​girl was beaten only by the most famous Slovenian Ema Klinec and Nika Kriznar in individual performance. However, just the athletes of Ziri prevented their team to fight for the gold medal, because they have not confirmed the huge margin that they had had in the race of 48 hours ago, because of the difficult conditions in which they found in jump.
Therefore, Slovenia has had to settle silver: even the subdued performance of Katra Komar had a negative impact on the result of their team, while Jerneja Brecl expressed itself in line with the expectations of the pre-race. For these latter two, it must be said that they are both in 2001, and their first appearance in a World Junior, and will be given another four seasons to get out the best satisfaction in the event category.
Curiously, the top two nations are to have obtained the highest number of medals at the level of female jumping, since the first competitions were included in the 2006 program of Kranj: Slovenia has earned 11, while Germany 10. However, what is most curious is the number of obtained titles, 2 for the nation of Eastern Europe, while 4 to Central European.
Austria (Claudia Purker, Sophie Mair, Elisabeth Raudaschl and Julia Huber) has had to be content with the third place of the podium, thanks to a competition not really high level. The worst by far was the eldest of the four, and at the same time the one that got the most prestigious results of the still short career. You will have to open, therefore, a reflection within the Austrian federation of why, a girl who fought last year for the individual medal, now stands to be the shadow of the shadow of herself.
Fourth place for Norway (Tonje Bakke, Silje Opseth, Thea Sofie Kleven and Anna Odine Stroem) author of a constant test, where it has managed to be temporarily in the top three at the end of a single rotation the second.
Then we find the first non-European team: Japan (Nozomi Maruyama, Rio Seto, Fumika Segawa and Minami Watanabe) who won the contest extensively with Canada (Eleora Hamming, Nicole Maurer, Abigail Strate and Natasha Bodnarchuk), the first team North America.
Special mention for Russia (7th): forced to compete with only three athletes, he has proven the excellent quality available, with a partially recovered Alexandra Kustova and more listed Sofia Tikhonova, Ksenia Kablukova.
The battle of mediocrity was won by the home team of the Swedish: available there was access to the second set, won the United States for only 4.6 points, after the suicide sports Scandinavian Jonna Mohlen.
Tomorrow there will be a day of rest, to return with the last competition, in mixed teams, scheduled for Sunday evening, where the blue team will play the third medal in a world championship event that is already in the history.
