Sara Takanashi conquers the Summer Grand Prix 2017

The 20-year-old Japanese won the second race in Chaikovsky (Rus) and won for the sixth time the overall ranking of the top summer circuit. Behind him the Russian Avvakumova and paired on the lowest step of the podium Maren Lundby and Maja Vtic.

Since the first jump, Takanashi has taken away all sorts of victory for opponents. The landing beyond the HS point, the excellent judgments of the judges and the lowest starting leg allowed him to close the first set with 17 points ahead of the first tracker, Russian Avvakumova and 24.1 on Maren Lundby. Japan then made the best score in the second round, which allowed her to win the third win of summer 2017 and number 19 in the SGP circuit. Second best scoring and second finals for the home athlete who confirmed he was in a great shape. Serious fight for third place between Maren Lundby and Maja Vtic. Slovene managed to make the best of the second jump, replenishing two positions and joining the Norwegian. Only seventh Lucile Morat, third in the overall standings this morning, but stumbled on a difficult day. The French class 2001, the protagonist for the whole summer, is one of the most promising young people, we will definitely be talking about her in the winter. It is confirmed in an excellent form Manuela Malsiner who concludes ninth. It is important to emphasize the constantness shown by the gardenese in this two days of racing, symptom of technical stability. Instead, he closed the 17th place Elena Runggaldier, stumbling into a difficult first jump but then able to replenish a dozen positions in the second set. Out of the thirty the other two blue, Lara Malsiner and Evelyn Insam. So ended today's race with the women's SGP17 with the sixth seal of Sara Takanashi. Second place for Irina Avvakumova, 90 points away. Third Norwegian Lundby. The women's jump will come back on stage next weekend with two Continental Cup races in Trondheim (Nor).
