The test & egrave; proved extremely troubled by the wind, constantly tail to athletes, but sometimes so strong that nothing can get competitive measures.
Ne & egrave; resulted in a competition-lottery where several men were overly penalized. Among them the leader in the overall World Cup Simon Ammann, finding himself to jump in impossible conditions, and only thirty-fourth.
Wind or no wind Schlierenzauer, appeared gi & agrave; recovering in the second race of Kuusamo, won a clear victory achieving the best score in both race series and especially finding incisivit & agrave; in the boost phase where hitherto had been very deficient.
Probably the Tyrolean & egrave; was helped by the fact that - accomplice weather conditions - the speed & agrave; detachment were very high, worthy of the Continental Cup. As they say, one swallow does not make a summer, also because & eacute; the context of Lillehammer & egrave; historically extremely favorable to Gregor, but the parable of the Tyrolean seems to point towards the 'high.
Piazza d''honor for the Norwegian Anders Fannemel, meanwhile author of the second score in both series, finally able to make two jumps high level in the same race. The triumph Austrian & egrave; was completed by Michael Hayb & ouml; ck, third, managed to get the better of the Japanese Daiki Ito in the second half & agrave; of competition. Fifth place for the poster of constancy Peter Prevc.
Sixth and seventh for Severin Freund and Anders Bardal, authors of remarkable comebacks in the second set after being penalized in first. Much the same for Noriaki Kasai, twelfth.
For the 'Italian & egrave; got the 'excellent ninth place of David Bresadola, the best result of his career. The 'blue benefited from favorable conditions in the first series, closed even in fifth place, but has legitimized the top ten finish building the twelfth score in the second jump.
This is the first exploit seasonal jump blue. We can therefore reveal how, about a month ago, the 'head coach Paolo Bernardi had let go off the records saying that, with a little' 'of luck, in his view it would not be impossible to see the twenty-six in the top Trentino ten nell''arco the season. It took four games to bring to pass this prediction.
Nonostanto zero, Ammann remains overall leader with 236 points. Follow Kasai to 222, to 210 Fannemel, Koudelka (today eleventh) to 190 and Hayb & ouml; ck to 179.
