The ninth attempt, on as many as the favorite, the Norwegian twenty-two he returned to victory after more than a year, when imposed in the opening of Klingenthal. The leitmotif of the race was unusual: in fact Tande was imposed in the first set, thanks to an excellent jump of 138 meters. Therefore, the potential reshuffling of cards on the table, resulting from the outcome of qualifying yesterday, ruled in favor of Norway, although the weather conditions have appeared basically constant within the entire race. In the second series he was excellently defended by the return of Kamil Stoch, thanks to a provision of 142 meters (2 over the HS), relegating the Pole at the place of honor behind by 3.2 lengths. This performance earned him still the second best score of the heats, but the record set by Peter Prevc the past year, the 7 segments of the race won on 8 played, will be saved for this season. For the athlete of Zakopane this test appeared problematic, given the exceptional no jumps between yesterday and today's first series, the decisive one, though, a stun beauty jump, finishing only half a meter from the record of 143.5 meters springboard, the It made it possible to make a decent comeback three positions and take the lead of the provisional ranking Tournee. Who is in second place of the latter list is Stefan Kraft, trailing by only 8 tenths of a point from Polish. Today the athlete of Schwarzach im Pongau he had to settle for third place, unable in the second heat to resist the overwhelming power of Stoch and Tande, even if there is to record a provision of 140 meters. The Tournee if the win probably one of these three athletes, enclosed in only 6.6 lengths. As the race of Oberstdorf had shattered the dreams of glory Domen Prevc, than today has inevitably compromise the position of two Austrians: Michael Hayboeck and manuel fettner respectively tenth and twelfth. Returning to the noble positions, we are in 4th place the darling of the public Markus Eisenbichler, to consider a partial disappointment seen the excellent jumps yesterday, who had made even the favorite for today's race. The captured position is the same in the ranking of Tournee, now at nearly 20 points Stoch. Domen Prevc, put behind him the disappointment of the 48-hour race is, redeemed himself by seizing a good 5th place, not to throw away optic crystal ball. indolence shown Also yesterday, do not place in Telemark, it has been exceeded. Perhaps a test of maturity? The biggest surprise of the last two tests remains Piotr Zyla: with the 6th position today is the third consecutive top 10, always improving the placement. Ghiotta is also the 5th emergency money in the ranking of Tournee, by far the best of his career. They closed the top 10 also Maciej Kot, Stephan Leyhe and Vincent Descombes Sevoie, respectively, between the 7th and 9th place: to polish the good feeling with the trampoline was crucial, even for him is the Tournee of life; German has achieved the best result of his career, improving compared to the race last January in Sapporo; French is the 5th top 10 in season, there will be no surprise that this test will close in 10 multi internship. The highest growth signals were given by Roman Koudelka (17th), just in front of Evgeniy Klimov, for 7 times out of 9 in the season in the top 20. The deep crisis in Japan shows no sign to have an end: no athlete has managed to win their head-to-head, nor to be in the 5 lucky loser, the best remains Noriaki Kasai 37th. Partial disappointment also by the Slovenian team: Jurij Tepes, 9th in Oberstdorf, did not go beyond the 36th position, while Anze Semenic (46 Â°) deleted the good work yesterday.
