The winner of the competition yesterday in the first series has created a competitive leap to repeat the success, but fell into ruin after having crossed the queues. '' The Austrian failed to get up and was taken out of the landing area on a stretcher. The first, fragmentary information about the twenty-seven of Villach are optimistic, however, the'' athlete was transported to the hospital to carry out the necessary investigations. This is the second of a bad fall season after the Austrian Andreas Kofler suffered from Klingenthal. Moreover, the twenty-nine of Innsbruck has missed out on points despite having jumped very well in the qualification held in the morning. Overall, the'' Austria is the disappointment of the day because the best was Gregor Schlierenzauer, eighth, which confirms that it is far from its highest levels. The great protagonist of today's Kamil Stoch who scored a convincing success,'' the first of the season and eighth of his career, thanks to a jump from the opening frame. The Pole then capitalized on what has been done in the first series of nearly 8 points batteno Simon Ammann. '' The Swiss has appeared again brilliant and scored a podium number 70 in the World Cup of his career, making it the seventh athlete from history to touch this threshold. About the podium, the lowest rung was occupied by Noriaki Kasai. The Japanese became the first ultra-forties to get a place in the top-three in the maximum circuit special jump. To be precise Kasai on the podium at the "tender" age of 41 years and 192 days. The Japanese beat eight-tenths of the Norwegian Anders Bardal, while the fifth place was occupied by another veteran, Janne Ahonen. In a nutshell the'' average age of the top-five today is over 33 years! At home Italy Roberto Dellasega concluded forty, creating in each case a jump more than decent. Sebastian Colloredo was, however, the first of the "cut" in qualifying where instead Bresadola David was disqualified. World Cup overall standings shorter and shorter. Schlierenzauer commands commands with 298 points against 256 Freund, 255 Takeuchi, Stoch of 230, 225 Kasai, 221 Morgenstern, 206 Ammann and Bardal. Basically we have eight men (four of them with at least a crystal ball on the bulletin board) in the'' arc of 92 points. Titisee Neustadt - LARGE HILL (II) 1. STOCH Kamil (POL) 300.72.
