The German already from training jumps had shown a great feeling with the Lysgårdsbakken, clocking 142.5m. During the qualification jump performed in an exemplary manner, finding a perfect detachment time, maintaining such share until landing occurred at 140.5m. In addition, the Teutonic was impeccable on telemark, not really usual, going to collect the highest stylistic feedback of day.
Second place for teammate Richard Freitag, however, trailing by 11.2 lengths. The Saxon has found a good jump from 134.5m, ahead of only one-tenth the Stefan Kraft. The leader of the general i is found to jump in difficult conditions, limiting the damage being able to get to 130.5m.
Fourth place for Andreas Wellinger, in close contact with the two athletes who preceded him, came to 131m coming at the head of complex conditions on the tooth. Robert Johansson 5th instead has exploited well the good wind, going to land at 137.5m and turning out the first of a Norwegian-row.
Indeed followed Andreas Stjernen 6th and 7th Anders Fannemel, the latter to the first jump of the Raw Air, as in Oslo disqualified before making their own performance and then excluded from the team competition. Roman Koudelka finished 8th with a convincing jump, going to precede a Scandinavian way, Johann Andre Forfang 9th, and closed the top 10 Piotr Zyla.
Good performance for the Slovenian Jernej Damian 11 ° and 13 ° Anze Lanisek, went to precede Peter Prevc, which is once again far from his best version.
Kamil Stoch came 25th, finding a really difficult jump in complex conditions. It should however be noted that these were the same faced by Kraft, uscitone off to a very brilliant.
In the rear there is also the returning Domen Prevc 33 °, positive in training with higher dividend rate, while in qualifying was more distressed. But what is striking is the indolent attitude with which he made the landing, also openly criticized these days by members of the Slovenian team. Black mood for Daniel Andre Tande 51 ° (but pre-qualified), who has bungled very outgoing from the tooth, angry with the leadership race for having given way under very difficult conditions.
They managed to overcome the obstacle of the qualifying Alex Insam 43 ° and 46 ° Bresadola David. The Azzurri have found two good jumps, despite the wind very penalizing. Nothing to do for Sebastian Colloredo 60th and Roberto Dellasega 66th.
Today there have been excellent victims, as they have not exceeded the cut for the first time this season Dawid Kubacki 53 ° and 56 ° Evgeny Klimov. The first not to its own merits, since nothing has been able to do with the gale behind found on the tooth, the second is wrong jumping and showing himself in trouble from the technical point of view.
Good test for Fatih Arda Ipcioglu 57th of 71 starters, turkish first athlete at the start of a test of the World Cup.
The ranking of the Raw Air sees Kraft (823.6) maintain leadership, with a margin virtually unchanged on the second position of Wellinger (802.7). instead shortens the distances Eisenbichler (785.4), which widens the gap from 4 ^ square, in the hands of Piotr Zyla (765.3)
