Compared to the difficult twenty-four hours or conditions, today the wind has died from the front and the show has certainly helped, especially in the first set. In fact in the first part of the race he has constantly blown with an intensity between 1.5 and 2 km / h, except in a couple of exceptions. Many athletes have therefore crossed the extent of 140m, making the most of the favorable conditions. To set the fastest score was Daniel Andre Tande, even landed at 149.5m. Just 1.2 points behind with a detachment was placed Wellinger, author of an encyclopedic jump of 147m, achieving very high stylistic assessments. Third partial position for Stefan Kraft, came to 148.5m, but with slightly less favorable wind. But the decisive race did not start in the best way, as the race management decided to lower the departure gate, thereby reducing the speed of the athletes deadlift. On the other hand the wind did not help us, its intensity is significantly decreased, which cause serious problems athletes. Even athletes who had done better in the first half of the race were affected, reaching measures more than 10 meters shorter. Kraft has found a good jump from 135.5m, which Wellinger responded with one from 135m. The Teutonic managed to overtake the Austrian as well for only 3/10, by virtue of the margin accumulated in the first segment. place of honor, therefore, for Kraft, which preceded his teammate manuel fettner. The Tyrolean bowed for 1 point to Salzburg and reassembling a few positions thanks to a good jump of 136m, however, obtained in even more difficult conditions. For him this is the third career podium, the second this season, by far her best. Only 4th winner of the first series Daniel Andre Tande, who had major problems coming out of the tooth and could not achieve such measures of opponents who preceded him. Fifth position for the overall lead Kamil Stoch, who interrupts the winning streak. Big test today for Austria, who placed four athletes among the best 7. Michael HaybÃ¶ck concluded 6th capping off a great comeback from the 15 th position of the first series, clocking the best score in the second. It 'was in fact able to exploit the wind greater than 2 m / s front to land at 145.5m. Seventh place for Gregor Schlierenzauer, the best seasonal placement, which found two competitive jumps and gives good signs of growth. For Jurij Tepes came the 8 ^ currency, but was one of the unlucky athletes ever since in both series jumped at times when the wind had dropped greatly in intensity. He paid especially in the second jump because the lower pole departure did not allow him to have the speed necessary to offset the weak wind. Peter Prevc concluded 9th, showing improvements especially in the decisive set, but is still far from that seen last season. It closed the top 10 Piotr Zyla, ahead of Evgeny Klimov, author of an excellent second jump. In the rear third of the general Domen Prevc, only 25 Â°. In the first part of the race he made a few mistakes too that is peeling off, meeting the most unfavorable wind than their opponents. In the second set, however, he has been given the green light even if there were the conditions penalizing them exceedingly. Slovenian fact made no mistakes during removal, but the wind just over half a meter front did not allow you to save in any way. The general classification is thus always in command Kamil Stoch (978), followed by Tande (853). Loses ground the unfortunate Domen Prevc (786), now approached by Stefan Kraft (720).
