As usual in the town of Miyagi prefecture, the wind proved to be a major factor, suddenly changing direction and intensity. The tables have therefore been reshuffled several times, especially in the first set, where many favorites have been found to jump in with a very difficult situation.
Among those who have benefited from favorable conditions c''è was precisely the nineteen Alto Adige, very good in exploiting the 'auspicious occasion with a great jump. The 'blue was then left in second place after the first half, behind only Maren Lundby. Among the big Yuki Ito and Irina Avvakumova however, they remained afloat, while the most favored Sara Takanashi was crippled by Aeolus, pocketing a part for her mediocre tenth place.
The second set had a more regular trend. Not surprisingly, the best score was achieved with just from Takanashi margin, which, however, has not been able to close the gap accumulated previously, having to settle for a partial comeback.
Indeed Ito, Avvakumova and Carina Vogt have made leaps high quality thanks to which you are positioned in front of the twenty-year old Japanese, also putting considerable pressure on Malsiner, that upon thus is dissolved and answered present.
Even his second jump was very solid and has stood comparison with that of direct rivals. Conversely Lundby, a leading mid-test, it is not repeated and slipped back.
Finally, at the end of chaos, it emerged Yuki Ito that after waiting all''infinito the first success of his career (finally arrived last week in Sapporo), can celebrate their second win in a few days.
Behind the Japanese it was placed precisely Manuela Malsiner, beaten only 3/10 dall''asiatica. The 'Italy has so touched the first statement ever, still pocketing his fourth podium in the history of the Women's World Cup after those signed by Lisa Demetz (Hinterzarten 2012) and Evelyn Insam (Schonach, 2013, Rasnov 2014).
 It goes without saying, it is equaled the best result ever for un''italiana in the maximum circuit Malsiner get the best career. Teen Gardena is therefore fully recovered after difficult years, in which a violent fall in Planica and disagreements with the previous coaching staff the 'sull''orlo had led the retreat.
The podium was completed by Irina Avvakumova, ahead Carina Vogt (fourth), Sara Takanashi (fifth) and a very disappointed Maren Lundby (sixth). In addition to the victory of Ito, Japan can also celebrate the seventh Yuka Seto.
The top ten could not miss Slovenia, in fact Ema Klinec concluded Maja Vtic eighth and ninth. Only tenth Daniela Iraschko-Stolz, just ahead of Sarah Hendrickson, eleventh.
As for the other blue, Elena Runggaldier has collected one of the best results of the season, finishing 19 th. Behind Evelyn Insam, which already has made entry into the points, finishing 29th. Nothing to do for Roberta D' 'Agostina, who did not pass the qualification rock.
The fight for the Crystal Ball on again. Takanashi remains yellow bib 735 points, but Ito (632) continues to gain ground. Lundby is always the third (457) with Avvakumova (422) rotates. Tomorrow morning is replicated with un''altra race.
