The first competition at night in Engelberg, in the history of ski jumping, has just ended with an outcome in line with the prediction.

It should be emphasized that the weather conditions have affected extensively during the competition, leading to rising and rainfall between the two sets of race.

The athlete success of Upper Austria was built primarily in the first round, when he was jumping in the best possible time and a lower starting pole, by permission of the race direction. The good feeling with the race context did the rest, making him close the first segment of the race by a margin of 6 points on the second interim, Richard Freitag.
At the decisive moment Hayboeck demonstrated a new technical stability this season, but not a superior efficacy compared to the competition. However, for he is the first success in the World Cup in December and 5th all inclusive top-level competitions.
place of honor for Domen Prevc who found very complicated conditions in the first series, good, though, to get out of it thanks to technical improvements made between the spring and last fall. The best performance of the second set allowed him to climb well and 6 positions to win the sixth individual podium in the main circuit.
Back in the top three Andreas Kofler after the last time dated March 7, 2014, in that of Trondheim. The third position is the result mainly of a wild card given to him by Eolo, which allowed him to make a impronosticabile comeback from tenth position of the first set. Still continue the good feelings dates from the beginning of the season, despite some empty passage, see last weekend in Lillehammer.
At the foot of the podium we find Daniel Andre Tande, for a better time in the first run in the second. The state of the form remains the excellent of the opening of Ruka, demonstrating the excellent facts are not exactly jumping with favorable conditions, but remain zero victories in the season. Be warned, however, that with good technical stability and a super condition can take home, hands down, the next Four Hills Tournee.
Finally a Japanese to close the top 5! This is Daiki Ito, capable of redeeming a seasonal rather dull beginning of the whole team, in both jumps extremely helped by luck. In the second segment of the race it has been missing, however, the acute critical that caused him to lose the fight for the podium.
Today's winner of the title 'best comeback' is Markus Eisenbichler, bungling in the first series (closed to the 23 th position) as excellent in the second, finished in 7th place. Leitmotiv have had similar Stefan Kraft, Severin Freund and Maciej Kot: the first was saved more in the first jump and finished 6th; Teutonic, however, were both out of the top 20 at the end of the first run, but able to conclude a 10 ° and 12 ° in the decisive one.
Freitag, after the aforementioned provisional second place, collapsed to the final eighth, not worse, though, Dawid Kubacki passed from 4 ^ to 22 ^.
For the first time in the history of the special jumping World Cup were entered in the competition three brothers also have all scored points: needless to say are the Prevc. The second brother Dinners ended the second set to the 30th position, after an encouraging first jump and a second to forget.
For the largest, Peter, is to record the second fall season after landing: how to Ruka the decisive segment of the race was fatal. This happened just as he was beginning again to express themselves on a good level, when the toy was coming back to have it again the physiognomy of the past season. All this threatens to ruin a season finally started from absolute favorite.
Among the athletes out of the points there are it is excellent: Andreas Stjernen (31 °) showed non-feeling with them the Swiss race context, mind the race favorite Simon Ammann (35th) the top 30 has not hit for the second consecutive race. In general we've encountered two teams in difficulty: the white cross and Czech, with relatively no and only one jumper in points, ie Vojtech Stursa (17 °).
Recall that there are no Italian athletes to Engelberg, engaged between the FIS Cup Notodden and Coc Ruka.
The general classification sees Domen Prevc increase his lead over all the neighbors pursuers with 440 points, followed by Tande (358) and Kraft (271). Among the best 10, and prequalified, returns today's winner Hayboeck against the holder of the Peter Prevc crystal ball.
Tomorrow, early in the afternoon, it will replicate today's race to Engelberg. Qualification is scheduled at 12.30, while competition, the last before the Four Hills Tournee, to 14.00.
