Another common element in the competition 24 hours ago it was the wind today has died head-on with much more intensity, but at times has fallen sharply, and indeed there have been some annoying gusts side who made life hard for participants.
So the victory went plurivincitrice the crystal ball: in this sense was decisive the first set, when the twenties Kamikawa jumped 99.5 meters and was ranked second place provisionally detached from Lundby lengths of 7.9 and above 14.3 points margin of Ito.
In the second heat Takanashi has defended the best return from the insidious compatriot and has easily overtaken Norway thanks to a performance by 97 meters, from a pole lower than the athlete to Shimokawa.
Yuki Ito is due to bow finally sunny 1.5 lengths by virtue of a second sensational performance finished beyond the point HS - fixed at 109 m - less than 2 meters. For her regrets are referred to the first jump, where he had several problems, caused by a sudden drop in wind, that were fatal in a competition in which started as favorites.
Third position for Maren Lundby who had a leitmotiv reverse race than yesterday: the head at the end of the first set, thanks to a high-level performance, found gusts side at the decisive moment, which gave her extremely annoying and they did lose the noblest of the podium positions.
Fourth coin to Ema Klinec: behind Takanashi mid race, but finally unable to resist the Ito tornado. For her there is to report a fall in the decisive moment, however, irrelevant from the perspective of day podium given the weak points resulted from measurement and compensation.
Then we find Seto Yuka and Ramona Straub which have exchanged placement than yesterday, then you are positioned, respectively, 5 and 6th. For both, the midweek Korean competitions, have given very positive feedback in preparation for the World Championships in Lahti in which they, too, will the game, except for last-minute disasters.
Seventh place for Julia Kykkaenen, to season-best, which preceded Nita Englund (8th) and Sofya Tikhonova (9 ^). For the Russian became visible light steps forward, particularly in light of the excellent condition in which he jumped in the second segment of the race.
In view of the Oslo competition, which will close the season 2016-17, they have marked the decisive points Gianina Ernst (11th), Juliane Seyfarth (16th) and Abby Ringquist (23 ^). Evelyn Insam has to thank the embarrassing Coline Mattel (28 ^) that failed to enter the 30 general despite the absence of Gardena.
The general classification of the World Cup still has little to say, in fact, the top positions are now frozen, some mathematically and other performing: Takanashi (1375) is the winner of the crystal ball, followed by Ito (1108) and Lundby ( 1049).
