The Slovenian had not stolen the 'eye in training yesterday and seemed even to difficulties & agrave; in that of today.
In the race, however, there '' & egrave; He was playing. The twenty-three of Kranj & egrave; out on top in the first series, in spite of the poor conditions in which you & egrave; found to jump, after which & eacute; He has created a vacuum in the second - where instead found a favorable environment - past the point Hs and simply proving superior to the opponents.
Nothing could Severin Freund, however, suffered a bad fall (fortunately without consequences) nell''ultimo jump training. The German turned in a test along the lines of that of Prevc making a remarkable jump in a hostile situation in which it was followed by an equally great in a circumstance friend. The Bavarian however had to give more than 10 points at most & ugrave; young, and now unassailable opponent, despite a performance by applause.
The podium & egrave; It was completed by the increasingly & ugrave; Kenneth Gangnes convincing despite not being expressed to its fullest potentials & agrave; in the second series. Norway has however defended third place on countryman Johann Andre Forfang thanks to the margin previously earned.
Fifth, and definitely disappointed, Michael Hayb & ouml; ck. As seen yesterday the 'Austrian had toyed with the' idea to break the bank, but unlike Prevc and not Freund & egrave; He was able to get on top of the evil wind found in the first round, where he lost ground heavily. The twenty-four has since shown its full potential, but the 'impression & egrave; which at most would aspire to annoy the German because & eacute; Slovenian reiterated that they belong to a category s & eacute; right.
Therefore the first five of Innsbruck are the same race in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, also in the same order except for the 'reversal of Freund and Gangnes. In addition, the top five today corresponds to that in the overall World Cup, except for the 'reversal between Forfang and Hayb & ouml; ck. In other words & egrave; clear what the current values.
They remained well below expectations Richard Freitag and Stefan Kraft, major players on this trampoline last year, but today in big difficulty & agrave; in the first set when they were unable to defend themselves in very bad condition. The two have recovered in the second round, but have not gone beyond the tenth and eleventh place.
Do not make more & ugrave; news issues Kamil Stoch, sixteenth, and Gregor Schlierenzauer, even eliminated in the first set as clearly beaten in the match by Noriaki Kasai and unable to enter the ranks of the five lucky losers. Not exciting either proof of Simon Ammann, the twenty-second.
Conversely & egrave; got the best result of the season for Andreas Wellinger, so far definitely over par's reach sixth just ahead of the firmest Noriaki Kasai. The palm of surprise of the day goes to the French Vincent Discombes Sevoie, fourteenth and good at exploiting favorable conditions in the first series. No Italian has participated in the trial.
As for the overall World Cup, Prevc extends again rising to 824 points against the 639 of Freund. Gangnes strengthens the third position with 550 on increasing Hayb & ouml; ck (427) and Forfang (416).
