In this sense, the Shimokawa athlete has achieved in this particular statistic Sarah Hendrickson (Oslo 2013) and Takanashi (Oslo 2014, 2015, 2016; Planica 2014 and Oberstdorf 2017.2017). So, the winner of the crystal ball was seen to interrupt the successes strip on large trampolines in 6 races. The twenty-two year employee of the multinational Tsuchiya Home has recorded the best score in both series, remaining in line with the training jumps, when he had won 3 of 4: in the first heat reached 130 meters - best day measure - while the second has administered more, landing at 124.5 meters. Runner-up Sara Takanashi at 7.7 points behind the most seasoned team-mate: so it is confirmed within the hierarchy of the Japanese team, in fact seven days ago the ending was the same in the competition valid for the FIS Race held sull'Okurayama Sapporo. The difference between the two mistresses of the season is now over to be credited mainly to stylistic assessments: at this juncture the Kamikawa girl lost the beauty of 6.5 points, also brought by the excessive severity of the judges, especially of the Norwegian. The third step of the podium was the preserve of the only athlete capable of being the alternative to the Japanese for the entire season: Maren Lundby. The hostess has concluded the first segment of the race in second position, but at the decisive moment had to abdicate in favor of only 2/10 of Takanashi. The rest of the world has suffered a much more substantial gap from the top: Katharina Althaus has returned to the levels prior to the World Cup and finished in fourth place, ahead of Jacqueline Seifriedsberger in turn to a performance that was missing since last December. Sixth for a fair Ema Klinec, underdog in the first series for the wind behind found as lucky in the second with the meter of frontal breeze present at the time of his jump. Followed was ranked the main event of the woman, or Carina Vogt: then has confirmed the lack of feeling for the World Championships champion with works such imposing what is the Holmenkollbakken. Chiara Hoelzl (8th) was the author of an extensive test of ups and downs, as indeed was his season: a performance over par in the first round was countered by applause in the second one, completed in 128 meters. Strategy difficult to understand was the one chosen by Andreas Bauer (born head coach of the German team) against Svenja Wuerth (9th): in the second series has decided to lower them to the departure gate, not the athlete of Baden- Wuerttemberg has never given the impression of being able to reach 95% of the point HS. And so it was, but mitigating this 'madness' is the fact that this race was not in any decisive manner towards the rest of the vintage. Elena Runggaldier flirted half competition with the top 10, but at the decisive moment has largely missed the detachment timing and finished in 13th place. The other blue committed on Norwegian snow - Evelyn Insam - achieved a profit below expectations: the 22 ^ final position may not be satisfactory in comparison to the golden years of the twenty-two Val Gardena, which will probably spring a troubled on choices of their competitive future.
