L'' now twenty-seven of Zakopane has proved stronger than the'' athlete'' day in the arch of the reason for having two jumps narrowly on Severin Freund and Anders Bardal.
The German proved to be in great shape by getting the fourth position in the first two positions in as many post-Olympic competitions, but had to bow down to 3.8 points. The Norwegian instead achieved the best score in the second set, but paying 4.9 lengths by the winner of a first jump is not all'' height than the Polish.
The aforementioned Prevc today did not particularly shine and has not gone beyond the fourth position, however, remains very detached from the podium, thus yielding 50 points in heavy Stoch in the absolute ranking of the World Cup. The bi-Olympic champion has led to quota 1.231, while the twenty-Kranj chases him in 1128.
Wanting to use a tennis terminology, we can say that the Polish did the "break" taking a lead of over 100 points, equivalent to a race. Freund on the other hand you are drawing closer to third place as it is increased to 987 with Kasai, now eighth, 867.
The Japanese'' is not the only veteran in the top ten as a great Simon Ammann he finished fifth and Jakub Janda an especially close to retirement has taken the luxury of finish seventh. It should be noted as Ville Larinto, finding himself in a position to jump into favor in the first series, was third after the first half before sinking into the twenty-first place.
The top ten, however, has changed several minutes after the end of the competition. Thomas Diethart initially tenth, was disqualified for irregular shoes and then sold his place in the top ten of his compatriot Gregor Schlierenzauer, for which the evidence today is a step backwards compared to those of Lahti. Sebastian Colloredo home in Italy and Daniele Varesco have not passed the qualification.
