The Japanese won his tenth win of his career (second athlete to reach double figures after the'' injured Sarah Hendrickson had already reached 13) achieving the highest score in both sets of race and showing the "usual" superiority , the rest of the world,'' however, accentuated by the absence of the nineteen Utah.
Piazza'' s honor shared by two athletes, albeit 16 points behind the winner. The veteran Daniela Iraschko-Stolz has been shown to have overcome the many physical problems knee injury in January that had plagued the'' l'' during the summer and was able to express his views on levels of excellence''.

We are confirmed at the summit also'' Austrian Jacqueline Seifriedsberger (fifth) and the French Coline Mattel (eighth), while deeply disappointed the U.S. Jessica Jerome (nineteenth) and Lindsey Van (twenty-second) as well as the Norwegian Anette Sagen (twenty-seventh).
Just on the subject of Norway must be stressed the thirteenth Helena Olsson Smeby, thirty to return to work after a four-year period, and the eleventh'' Maren Lundby. These results are of a certain weight in the'' optical Olympic qualifier, a topic which will be discussed in more detail in the week.
At home Italy more discreet evidence of Elena Runggaldier, fifteenth, even in light wind conditions found. Evelyn Insam got a decent twentieth place. No points instead to Manuela Malsiner (41st), Lisa Demetz (43 ^) and Roberta D'' Agostina (46th).
