The Lillehammer athlete's performance was of the highest level, so that has emerged in both race series: the first showed a benefit from 97 meters, while in the second he touched the HS point set at 100 meters. It must be said that in the last jump he found a wind rather favorable than the competition, she good to exploit it and to make one of the best performances of the entire weekend.
Similar conditions had the jumper to the place of honor, Yuki Ito, that after the pomp than 24 hours ago has had to bow to Lundby of 12.2 lengths, accumulated largely in the second segment of the race, when you made a provision of 3.5 meters less than that of the winner today.
The news of greatest media impact is the fact that Sara Takanashi has not occupied any position of the podium, did not happen for 11 months, when on February 14 of 2015 came fourth in the race of Ljubno.
Therefore, the third place was the prerogative of the Teutonic Katharina Althaus. This result is not unexpected, because the twenty year old from Oberstdorf has occupied the best positions in the training jumps, so surprising was the 7th place yesterday. A very solid performance, valid on the third score in both races, has enabled it to get the first podium of an increasingly promising career.
The holder of the crystal ball has confirmed the lack of feeling with the home trampoline, winning the first square at the foot of the podium, and postponing the celebration for the milestone of 50 hits in the maximum circuit. Probably this goal not long in coming, already next week will have two races in her favor in the Japanese context of Zao, where he won the first victory in the World Cup just 15 years.
For the third time in the fifth place in the last four competitions we find Carina Vogt, who is confirming the growing state from early December shape. Who knows who is not at the World Championships in Lahti in top condition and that a new prestigious medal will take home ...
signs of life by Daniela Iraschko-Stolz and Maja Vtic, to return to the top 10. The Austrian was ranked 7th, while the Slovenian 8th, whatever the level of both declined compared to last year, when they ended the season on the podium in the race for the crystal ball.
Manuela Malsiner equaled the excellent performance yesterday, ranking in 10th place. Now has a consistency of performance that allows it to be one of the 20 best athletes in the world, by far the best Italian.
Two other blue have marked points: Evelyn Insam has gained the 21 th position and Elena Runggaldier the 25th. The hope is that they can grow both for a final season as protagonists. The last athlete of this beautiful country in Japan, Roberta D'Agostina, was excluded from the second qualification, an increasingly close goal being exceeded.
Many excellent excluded from the competition: on all French Coline Mattel and Lucile Morat, respectively 33 ^ and 34 ^ in qualifying; also the German Juliane Seyfarth has struggled getting an extremely disappointing 37th position.
The general classification is always Takanashi summit with 690 points, followed by Ito (532) and the winner of today Lundby (417) that has overtaken Iraschko-Stolz (368).
Now the circuit of female jumping moves in the prefecture of Yamagata, where two races happening at that Zao in next weekend.
