To be honest you missed the peak of pathos, because the dramatic step of Daniel Andre Tande ended as it had begun yesterday, with an aborted jump due to the rupture of the attack at the right ski, Stoch then had to do the homework to starting the carousels in the whole Poland.
First things first, though: As expected the starting order 'diluted' has potentially sparigliato cards, with the Norwegian who is found to jump into one of the most favorable moments of the entire competition. However, he missed Tande partially match point servitogli by fate, with a jump of 135 meters.
Stoch, meanwhile, he has found a time when the wind was different, negative, 1 m / s with respect to Norway, but a couple of upper poles. A superlative performance of 134.5 meters has placed in front of the rival and has 2.8 lengths to overcome it allowed in the ranking of Tournee.
Arrived at the crucial moment, 9 days now, Tande began the most important jump of his career, at least until now: immediately after the detachment from the tooth it is clear that something goes wrong, apparently of wind gusts Side make him lose altitude gradually, even threatening to make him a very bad fall. The cold blood, from what is good Scandinavian, allowed him to land safely at 117 meters, but the golden eagle is nuanced immediately.
After a few replays it was understood that the crosswind was the least of the problems for Tande: the fact of the attack right ski came off spectacularly, even broke! Besides saying goodbye to success in multistage test, the Norwegian has also lost the second place, saving the third place for a handful of points from Maciej Kot.
At this point Stoch has had it easy in take home his first Vieschanzentournee, you are not satisfied, however, also his success in today's race. The second race saw the protagonist of a jump from 138.5 meters, that was enough to impose itself on a arrembante Michael Hayboeck.
The Austrian, fully recovered from the influence of the gastro-intestinal stage of Innsbruck, has become the protagonist of an almost successful comeback, four positions, in the decisive set: from 142 meters is the performance by far better than the competition segment.
For Hayboeck remains the disappointment for not having skipped two days ago, so the podium giving goodbye to a more than likely in the fight golden eagle. Now for him looming weeks of absolute star if the form remains so.
Who has dug more than all today was Piotr Zyla: on the eve could, with a lot of luck, aspire to the third step of the podium of the Tournee, but the yield of Stefan Kraft (Influenza visual acuity) and the misfortune that happened to have the Tande allowed to complete the historic Polish-two.
Icing on the cake was the third place in this competition, the top 3 that was missing from the far March 22, 2013 when he finished third in a flying competition in Planica.
Debacle Tande has even threatened to take complete podium in the historic race to Poland: Kot has stood at 12.5 points behind Norway. Very filling today's performance, topped by the 5th place finish.
Who is Domen Prevc relatively to celebrate: today at the foot of the top 3, so the best performance of the entire Tournee. With all the current combinations of results managed to get back on top of the overall standings, and next week in Wisla rindosserà the yellow bib.
Another Slovenian was leading after the first competition series, or Jurij Tepes, bravo to take advantage of the best conditions of the entire race, but unable to repeat itself in similar conditions of competition: in the end had to settle for 7th final position however the best result until now.
Tanta Germany to close the top 10, but in the less prestigious locations: the work of Roar Ljøkelsøy on the flight phase, begins to be seen especially with Richard Freitag (6th) and Karl Geiger (9th); Stephan Leyhe finished eighth, also the same position in the ranking of Vierschanzentournee, the best of life.
The Austrian chapter is very rich in both disappointments that the positive results of all Stefan Kraft appeared extremely weakened by the influence, today did not go beyond 25 ^ square and lost many positions in the ranking multistage up to 6th place finish; those in the latter ranking is finished 5th is manuel fettner (12th today), confirmed at high levels; the greatest joy comes from Markus Schiffner, the best career result with the 11th coin of the day.
Athletes of Ruhpolding and Sigsdorf respectively Wellinger and Andreas Markus Eisenbichler, did not pass a simple competition: the first had a good chance of getting on the podium in race, but a jump poorly executed the excluded even from the second set with 31 ° place finish; the second has struggled just as closing 13 ° and 7 ° Tournee.
The general classification is therefore Domen Prevc at the top with 646 points, followed a short distance from Daniel Andre Tande (637) and Kamil Stoch (633). Stefan Kraft (510) is seen off strongly, but the games are still wide open.
The circuit of the male jumping World Cup again the protagonist in a week with qualification to the first race of Wisla, where it awaits the audience for the big events for house pets.
