Both have touched down substantially flat and have not been able to support the telemark, coming consequently penalized by the judges. Therefore, the Slovenian S & Igrave; took the lead, but with a narrow margin on the Norwegian Kenneth Gangnes and Johann Andre Forfang. The Japanese instead & egrave; He had to settle for fifth score, superseded by Stefan Kraft and just in front of Anders Fannemel.
The six athletes listed have all topped the 'Hs and took over as the pi & ugrave; strong also in the second series, where for & ograve; conditions have worsened because of the snow that began to fall abundant, making it less sliding ducts.
Surprisingly Prevc has not done all their best and achieved only the fourth performance of the series, seeing himself beaten by Kraft, Gangnes and Kasai, also ahead of only three tenths good Forfang.
