We go to & ograve; with order. The race saw the triumph of Peter Prevc, the second consecutive victory. The twenty-three Slovenian confirmed to be the 'man pi & ugrave; of the moment making a difference in the first set, where & egrave; become the protagonist of a jump simply sublime, and then make the best score in the second. The place of 'honor & egrave; It was the prerogative of another Prevc, the younger brother Domen, class 1999. The teen Kranj, gi & agrave; he set out in the outputs of Klingenthal and Lillehammer, today made a step further proving gi & agrave; can compete with the best in the circuit technique and solidity & agrave; in both heats. Third Noriaki Kasai, very good to climb nine positions in the second set thanks to a great leap performed with pi & ugrave; favorable than those of many who preceded him in the standings in mid & agrave; competition. The Japanese have therefore set a new record of seniority & agrave; on the podium of a race of the World Cup to take & agrave; et & agrave; 43 years and 196 days. In this regard it would be appropriate to reflect on this data. So far Kasai finished on the podium only once in Engelberg, 10 January 1999. Well, since then it's been almost 17 years and above that day Domen Prevc, sharing the podium today with the Japanese, was not even born! Slovenian fact & egrave; He came into the world on June 4 of quell''anno. One wonders whether there un''altro sports, apart from the 'horse-riding, which you can view in the top-three athletes of the same competition that could really be father and son. For the first time this season Norway does not place its own athlete on the podium. The best, Kenneth Gangnes, he finished fifth in the second set to a remedying bad first jump. The twenty-six preceded by a one-tenth Anders Fannemel increasingly & ugrave; recovering after a difficult start. Day instead negative Johann Andre Forfang and Daniel Andre Tande, respectively fourteenth and twenty-fifth. Not convinced Severin Freund, only eighth and even the best German. Richard Freitag has indeed finished fourth being beaten to narrow measure from Kasai. The 'Austria ranking three men in the top ten, but overall & egrave; disappointed. Want perch & eacute; Stefan Kraft was devastating in training but not & egrave; It went beyond the seventh position in the race, because you want & eacute; Andreas Kofler - Today thirteenth - could seriously do not get into the top 55 of the WRL at the end of the period (tomorrow night) with consequent reduction of the quota to 5 units & agrave; for Tourn & eacute; e. Least & egrave; discreet evidence of Michael Hayb & ouml; ck, ninth, and good to manuel fettner, tenth. Poland continues to gasp. In truth & agrave; Kamil Stoch did well in the first set, but then completely wash the second jump and not & egrave; He went beyond the twentieth place. However are positive evidence of Stefan Hula, twenty-second, and dell''esordiente Andrzej Stekala, twenty-seventh. The 'single blue busy, Sebastian Colloredo, you & egrave; expressed on its current limitations and concluded fortieth. Peter Prevc goes on the run in the standings where he now commands with 464 points against 359 and 310 of Freund Gangnes. Tande & egrave; 251 fourth and fifth Forfang to 234.
