The competition was supposed to take off at 16:30, but heavy snow and especially strong winds forced the race direction-waiting unnecessarily for one hour and a half as they were not guaranteed the security conditions.
At 18.00 you & egrave; blasted Junshiro Kobayashi, but the race & egrave; was immediately interrupted for half an hour un''altra. Were performed in a total of 10 jumps later seventy-five minutes in perpetually changing conditions and with repeated changes of wind.
At last, at 19.15, after almost three hours, the jury & egrave; surrendered and canceled the competition. Because sensible decision & eacute; would have risked a farcical trial over which serious injury.
We now await decisions about what to do. Theoretically, there could be room for groped to compete on Schattenbergschanze Oberstdorf Since & eacute; tomorrow and the day after there are no events.
However, the weather forecast is not encouraging and not & egrave; to exclude the 'hypothesis of play two races in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, along the lines of what happened seven years ago when, Innsbruck canceled, there were two competitions in Bischofshofen.
