The second Summer Grand Prix race in Hakuba was resolved with a triumph of Japan and, in particular, the Kobayashi family, who made a double in a wind-formulating competition.

Eolo, in fact, has blown hard on the 1998 Olympic Games Theater Springboard, forcing the jury to various breaks and more than a change of sth. As a result, some athletes have found a much more favorable position than others and it is not surprising that there have been several breakdowns in the rankings, as it often happens when competing in Japan land.
Winds behind (like yesterday) or frontal (like today), the winner has not changed. In fact, it was again imposed by Junshiro Kobayashi, who has proved to live an exceptional moment of form. In mid-turn, however, success seemed to be destined to younger brother Ryoyu, who dances with a solid advantage over all the pursuers.
However, Hachimantai's 25-year-old has "washed" the second jump, by mistaking the detours and paying duty accordingly, slipping to the plaza behind the honor of his most solid Oniisan. At least Ryoyu has collected those 80 points to enter the top 55 World Ranking List positions and allow Japan to use five chips in the upcoming Grand Prix period.
The lowest stage of the podium has been the prize of a Slovenian player, Anise Lanisek who had finished fifth last year. The talented 21-year-old was the author of a regular test that allowed him to get his first place in the top-three in a top-level race. Behind him the Norwegian Kenneth Gangnes and the increasingly interesting compatriot Tilen Bartol, who is advancing his candidacy to a World Cup petticoat in the coming winter.
Sixth Simon Ammann, once again convincing, except for telemark. Seventh American Kevin Bickner, whose 36 points are pure oxygen. This has in fact remained in the WRL top-55, allowing the United States to retain 3 seats in the next period.
In this regard, Italy can celebrating the coveted 4th, since both Sebastian Colloredo and Davide Bresadola have completed the current period in the fateful 55 useful squares. However today the Friulian picked up a good result, ranking 13th with great comeback in the second series. The Trentino, however, missed the points area.
In the overall Grand Prix, Dawid Kubacki remains the leader with 300 points against 210 of Maciej Kot. Junshiro Kobayashi took third place with 208, while Gangnes was fourth at 187.
Next appointment in two weeks, in Chaikovsky (Russia), where two races are scheduled.
