The fight for the final victory ended already in the middle of the race, since Lanisek and Junshiro Kobayashi, second and third of the general, failed to gain access to the second jump. The first series has been tormented by the wind that has changed direction often, conditioning the athletes' performance in good and bad. Despite the difficult conditions, Kubacki scored the best score with 1.3 and 1.4 points advantage over Wellinger and Forfang. Distant Kraft and Tande, detached from 6.9 and 9.8 lengths. Excellent performance for the Italian team that for the third time in the summer brought three athletes to the points area. Several top-level athletes were unable to enter the thirty, including Prevc, Zyla and Gangnes. Negative day for the Slovene team who qualified for the second act only Anze Semenic.
In the second jump Kubacki also put the seal on the race today. A 130m jump allowed him to stretch out on Wellinger, second in the end and landed at 127.5m. For the third position, Forfang has easily ruled Tande. Behind the Norwegian couple an Ace Poker consisting of Schlierenzauer, Ammann, Stoch and Kraft. Great test for Norway that placed two more athletes in top 10, Johansson and Fannemel.
The Italians have been able to confirm how good they did in the first jump and in general in the summer event, closing all in the top 20. The internal struggle was won by Bresadola who ranked 18th, Behind him Insam 19 ° and Colloredo 20 ° .
With 500 points, Dawid Kubacki won the Summer Grand Prix 2017, following Maciej Kot, a winner last year. In those months, Nowy Targ's 27-year-old was the absolute number one, he wondered if he could reconfigure himself in the World Cup (where he never got up on the podium) when all the big ones are at maximum shape. His former compatriot's former team is certainly encouraging as Kot managed to play a great winter season. Fifth success in history for Poland after the triple of Adam Malysz and the aforementioned victory of summer 2016.
Summer was quite positive for the top three Italian athletes. The fruits of the work carried out by Lukasz Kruczek have been seen and the leap of quality was evident. In particular, what struck most was the constant presence in the points area and the fact that all three boys had a top 10. In total, the blue got 299 points, compared with 4 last year and 39 2015.
Now the focus goes to the World Cup which will open on November 17 in Wisla (Pol).
