As predicted, Zakopane's 27-year-old did not find any particular hostility in winning the season's second season due to a state of great form: already at the end of the first series he had an advantage of almost 8 points on the most immediate trainer who became 11 , 9 after the second jump.
Kubacki won 3 of the four races he has now competed and has repeated the path he made for a couple of summers is just beginning of hostilities: then he failed to gain a foothold in the overall ranking for both a fall in physical activity over the weeks gone by For the choice to desert the Asian stages. You will see this year what will be the strategy that will follow who is to be considered one of the jumping plastic specialists.
Second place for home-based Stephan Leyhe, the first career podium in top-level races: Willingen's boy has built this achievement with a high performance consistency, and it has to be said that the very facility located in the south of Black Forest is ideal for its features. So a breath of fresh air inside the teutonic team at a time is far from happy because of the various injuries suffered by the diamond tips of the team in question.
He closed the top 3 with Piotr Zyla thanks to a comeback of a couple of positions in the final round: for Wisla's athlete is the sixth career podium in the Summer GP, but the call still lacks the first win.
Next we find the dominant of the summer edition of the summer circuit, Maciej Kot: competitiveness is the usual, but compared to 12 months ago it is no longer so overwhelming, role ripped from teammate Kubacki. Fifth place for the surprise weekend of Halvor Egner Granerud thanks to the improvements in the standstill phase coupled with the exceptional sensitivity in the flight already known for some time.
Roman Koudelka has finished sixth and now seems to be on the right way to return to the noble districts of the circuit that was in a couple of seasons or so. The Polish party was completed by the other three athletes in Hinterzarten: Stefan Hula finished 7th, while Jakub Wolny and Kamil Stoch finished the top 10.
Just out of the top 10 we find one of the disappointments of the day, Gregor Schlierenzauer: on the eve, in fact it was expected that he could fight for arms even for the podium, but a second defeat has relegated to 11th place. However, the good sensations remain after almost two years of complete darkness.
The other big Austrian team member, Stefan Kraft, seemed far behind with physical training, so the 14th place won is considered to be all-out positive. Moving from a crystal ball to another, Peter Prevc (26th) has competed today with Fischer skiing: you will see in the coming weeks if it was a sporadic test or the strongest Slovenian of all time has Decided to suspend the Slatnar brand.
As in the opening of Wisla, an Italian fired in the points area: Davide Bresadola finished at 18th place after an overwhelming comeback of 10 positions in the second part of the race. The points won are another important step in the fourth quarter race thanks to the World Ranking List. The other blue Alex Insam has not taken part in today's race because of the disqualification suffered during qualifying yesterday.
In the overall ranking of Summer GP Kubacki runs full-fledged with 200 points, followed by Kot (130), Leyhe (109) and Geiger (82), the latter being 12th today.
Now the top jumping circuit will return to race in a couple of weeks in the French resort of Courchevel Le Praz: on August 12, both the qualification and the competition are scheduled. The opening of the Women's Summer GP is also scheduled 24 hours before, always in the same French town.

Un anno fa vivevamo il dramma di Matteo Franzoso: a La Parva un incidente che mai sarebbe dovuto accadere
Era il 13 settembre 2025 quando, in quel maledetto sabato mattina in Cile, il velocista ligure finì a velocità elevatissima contro una staccionata, troppo vicina a bordo pista (e ora non più presente per gli allenamenti delle nazionali presenti anche quest'anno nella località). Due giorni dopo, a Santiago, Matteo si spense.
