Gregor Schlierenzauer on the hunt for a historic tris [Presentation Tourne 4 trampolines]

Tomorrow, with the qualification jump in Oberstdorf, opens the sixty-second edition of the Four Hills Tournament, the historical event of the men's jump, which will end in Bischofshofen on the day'' s epiphany.

'' In light of the trend in the first part of the season, characterized by a general leveling of values, it is difficult to embark on predictions. However, at the start the attentions of the media and insiders will be primarily focused on the potential duel between Kamil Stoch and Gregor Schlierenzauer. The Pole, after a difficult start in the four races between Titisee-Neustadt and Engelberg has collected two wins and two second places results that have allowed him to win for the first time in his career the yellow bib of the overall leader's Cup World. '' The Austrian instead, has never been constant, alternating jumps good to others mediocre. The proof is given by its fluctuating performance, which still allows you to be in second position in the ranking of the absolute maximum circuit. L'' now twenty-four of Innsbruck, however, has a date with history as it is presented in this Tour as the winner of the last two editions held. Only the Norwegian Bjørn Wirkola in the late 60'' has managed to win 3 consecutive Tour. In addition Gregor boasts 9 stage wins in the races of Tournéee is located in one win of absolute detachment from the record holders, namely the aforementioned Wirkola and German Jens Weißflog. So Stoch Schlierenzauer and assume the roles of counter-favored and encouraged. Behind them, in the role of third inconveniences they place two thirtysomething, Anders Bardal and Simon Ammann. Norwegian, the third in the overall standings of the World Cup, has yet to win this season, but it is very dangerous opponent as it boasts an enviable constancy of performance, which is essential to be able to triumph in Tournèe. '' The Swiss gave interesting signs in Titisee-Neustadt before suffering a slight decrease in Engelberg,'' but there is a good bet that it will not leave no stone unturned to finally conquer the Vierschanzentournée, in which no single individual facing has never imposed his career. Ammann if he were to succeed in business'' would become the second jumper Matti Nykänen after the Finn to have won everything you can win in ski jumping. Thomas Morgenstern great unknown. '' The Austrian winner of the 2010 edition of'' -'' 11:02 times a second, he had found the enamel of the best days before to crash in the second race of Titisee-Neustadt. If the twenty-seven of Villach had remained in good health would certainly have been among the favorites, but in the light of what has happened that you can not grant a role for noblesse oblige among the outsiders. Outsider in which you must enter in the block the German team. In particular, Severin Freund and Andreas Wellinger showed significant peaks of performance and the same is true, albeit to a lesser extent, by Marinus Kraus and Richard Freitag. Fasting in Germany Vierschanzentournée has now surpassed the decade (the'' ultimate success is dated 2001 - 02'' with Sven Hannawald) and to stop it will be crucial to the aforementioned continuity of performance. The same goes for the Japanese team in which in the first half of the season have shone especially Taku Takeuchi, Noriaki Kasai and Daiki Ito. Should not be underestimated even the Austrian Andreas Kofler and Wolfgang Loitzl, winners respectively in 2009 - 10 and 2008'' - 09''. Both have given some small sign of life, but they seem far from the competitiveness necessary for them to strive for success. In any case, the Tournèe, even in recent times, has been the scene of great surprises or sudden resurrections. In this regard, it would be intriguing to revise the summit Janne Ahonen, recently back in business (for the second time). The Finnish veteran is the absolute record holder in terms of Tour wins (well 5), and has experienced the most brilliant comeback after the first on the occasion of Vierschanzentournée 2009 -'' 10. Just Ahonen is the'' last Austrian jumper not to have won the general classification of the event. In fact, in the last five years'' l'' Austria has established a hegemony unprecedented 5 consecutive wins'' s event with four different jumpers when no country had exceeded the three statements in a row. In addition, the Austrians have won 15 of the last 19 stages, placing at least one athlete on the podium in the last 10 races. After the presentation of the Tournèe, we turn to the specific stage of Oberstdorf, for which it is sufficient CLICK ON THE FOLLOWING WORDS.
