To give the 'idea of ​​the level reached by the stellar series today think that to get on the podium & egrave; It was necessary to overcome the point Hs.
The medal 'gold, and with it the title of world flight, & egrave; He went to the big favorite of the eve Peter Prevc, whose success was to & ograve; He was questioned by the middle passage vacuum suffered yesterday in the second set.
The Slovenian & ograve; today provided the 'umpteenth show of strength creating a perfect jump that allowed him to reach 244 meters (19 over the' Hs and 4 pi & ugrave, compared to the record of the trampoline that gi & agrave; belonged to him), but with a sketch of telemark.
The outstanding performance allowed him to climb to 3.7 points the 'grim Kenneth Gangnes, whose medal' silver testifies once more & ugrave; the talent of the Norwegian, for years ravaged by injuries.
The twenty-six Scandinavian has played a World beyond expectations by revealing himself as the most & ugrave; Prevc credible rival. Of course, the fact of not having supported the telemark in the third series (where & egrave; landed at 238.5 meters), & egrave; It was bloody in the rat race. However it must be remembered like yesterday, at the first jump, the winner is in turn landed feet together. The two dynamics, then, are compensated.
Bronze medal for the best Stefan Kraft, which proved very consistent nell''arco two days and even able to achieve the best score in the second heat. The 'Austrian was able to celebrate the step pi & ugrave; bottom of the podium because & eacute; Johann Andre Forfang today has reached 240 meters, but & egrave; It was inevitably affected by the judges due to a fall as spectacular as inconsequential.
Fifth Noriaki Kasai, in the race today "limitatosi" in a good performance that, in a context of competitiveness & agrave; stratospheric, him against his will made him lose ground heavily. Sixth place for Severin Freund, from which it was expected definitely more & ugrave; on the eve of the event. The German, who in the third series has found the best jump of the last days, he climbed over Anders Fannemel, out of contention for the podium "puncturing" the jump today.
So for Peter Prevc gets the 'gold iridescent flight ten days after the triumph in Tourn & eacute; and 4 trampolines. The ventitrenne Kranj, winner of eight of their last nine top-level competitions went on stage in his career he had not yet won a medal metal pi & ugrave; prized in any event (until now there were a silver and a bronze Olympic, one silver and one bronze world championship and a bronze at the World Championships in flight).
Despite the 'great tradition, & egrave; only the second world title of flight in the history of Slovenia's Robert Kranjec after that in 2012. Norway, despite not retain its lead from 2006, appropriates the fourth consecutive medal in the event.
Beyond the & agrave; of regret for not having seen the fourth set, it must be stressed as the top-five finish reflects the values ​​in the field and the weather conditions were really prohibitive to jump safely.
Tomorrow, starting at 14:15, the team event. On paper promises great struggle for the 'gold between Norway and Slovenia, Austria and Germany to play for the bronze.
