The square'' s honor was won by Peter Slovenian Prevc, which continued the'' fittest man of the moment, while the podium was completed by the German Richard Freitag who has found a good jump with favorable conditions. Gregor Schlierenzauer and Kamil Stoch had to settle the twelfth and seventeenth place. Clicking the full results are available here, while the ranking of the World Cup sees Stoch control with 721 points against 670 for Schlierenzauer and 632 of Prevc. At home Italy David Bresadola closed the twenty-sixth and thirty-Sebastian Colloredo. We will not dwell on'' sporty appearance because it is marginal in the light of what happened today'' quest, which is a glaring inability management by the race direction. The first foul deed took place immediately after the jump Severin Freund. In Zakopane has unleashed a storm that caused the melting of snow and slowed down considerably ducts. Although the situation was clearly changed, the jury decided to blow up anyway Andreas and Thomas Wellinger Diethart. The two found themselves having to make their jump in the toughest conditions. The strong (and sensible) protests by Werner Schuster and Alexander Pointner led the race direction to grant two athletes to re-jump'' after the last athlete in writing, or Kamil Stoch. Immediately after the jump Bardal, valsogli victory, the wind turned, Prevc but still managed to get an excellent performance with which he harpooned second place. It was decided, however, to give the green light to Schlierenzauer, finding himself with air to jump even more penalizing. At this point the second fattaccio. The chief of competition, the Polish Renata Nadarkiewicz, opted for a long break, waiting for the wind changed direction again. Obviously the next jump was just the Polish Kamil Stoch. At last quest'' has been given the green light when the wind was back front, but the'' idol failed to take advantage of the "gift" carry a negative jump. Finally, the third foul deed. Just before the new jump Diethart and Wellinger, it started raining again, with its new slow ducts. The race direction is then gone haywire taking the'' absurd decision to lower the pole, but immediately canceled. '' The Austrian and German have jumped, but again in an unworkable situation and are classified in the rear. Once you have completed the first series, which began 40 minutes late and lasted for almost two hours, it was decided to approve the whole thing and did not play in the second. '' Substantially quest today staged a farce'' authentic,'' the second of the winter after that Klingenthal in late November. There were no conditions to ensure a regular testing, but is especially perplexing the overall management of events, which now seems to be boundless in amateurism. The next week he competes in Sapporo, Japan. Hopefully with a much better management that does not make losing further credibility to the system-jump.
