The Japanese was expressed at levels unreachable to the opposing margin made with the best score in both sets of race and finishing in grand style its record year. In 2013 - 14'' in 18 World Cup races, the seventeen Kamikawa can boast something with 15 wins (83%) and 18 podiums (100%) with a streak of seven straight wins to open which is added a ' 'other, begun last year, of 24 consecutive podium finishes in races counting towards the crystal ball. The only drawback of the season, but in this case we should speak of genuine black hole, where the Olympic competition has not only imposed, but it is not even able to get a medal. Returning to the test today, the square'' s honor was occupied by an'' other Japanese, the Yuki Ito, who in recent weeks has proved the strength of the second circuit. L'' now twenty year old Shimokawa paid 26.7 points to compatriot, but has strung together on the fourteenth consecutive placement in the top-eight (including the Olympic Games) and its growth performance in the season finale has enabled it to snatch third place in the ranking General of the World Cup to Russia Irina Avvakumova today tithe, match very well but died away in the second half of winter. The podium of the race was completed by the French Julia Clair, the first top-three of his career. The transalpine was good to take advantage of favorable conditions in the first series, defending himself from bully's comeback in the second Norwegian Line Jahr. The thirty year old Scandinavian has achieved the best ever result in the maximum circuit six tenths ahead of the'' American Jessica Jerome, fifth. Evelyn Insam, committed only blue, concluded in a fair fifteenth position. Manuela Malsiner obviously did not take part in the race because of the crash yesterday, in which he suffered a dislocated left shoulder. Elena Runggaldier, despite having the right to participate, had to give up all'' event due to a strained ligament inner and patella of a knee injury. Takanashi has taken the luxury of doubling the second in the overall standings! The'' Asian finished with 1,720 points, while the German Carina Vogt (still struggling with a knee inflammation and absent today) has made 806. As mentioned above the lowest rung of the podium is the prerogative of Ito (759) that exceeded Avvakumova (731) with Daniela Iraschko-Stolz (682) fifth. '' Apart from the exciting Olympic race, the season for the truth turned out to be very boring because'' there was the slightest struggle for the Crystal Ball as the most serious enemy of Takanashi, or Sarah Hendrickson and Jacqueline Seifriedsberger, have failed to start due to serious knee injuries. In particular, if the American'' in late August he had not suffered the accident'' on the Large Hill Oberstdorf'' s winter would surely have different connotations. At least there would have been fighting for the overall World Cup which, however, in the light of the level expressed by Hendrickson in the summer training, he could also take the road of Utah rather than that of'' Hokkaido. The draft calendar 2014 -'' 15'' provides for the start of the season on December 7 in Lillehammer. The Summer Grand Prix is â€‹â€‹instead reduced to just four races, all concentrated in the month of September between Almaty and Nizhny Tagil. PLANICA - LARGE HILL1. Sara Takanashi (JPN) 271.62.
