The best competition is in mid-Severin Freund,'' the man in form in recent weeks. The German has produced two solid jumps and marked 391 points, ahead of Norway's Anders Bardal 10.1 lengths, which blew among the first and made the most of the favorable time than the big shaft has emerged in several minutes later.
"Solo" third Prevc Peter, considered the pre-race favorite in the light of the results of the training. Slovenian, in the lead after the first jump, missed the second, where, between a detachment speed too low, and most importantly kept in vertical slopes, landed suddenly losing ground as a result.
The twenty-Kranj pays 15.4 points in Freund and has a lead of one length on'' stainless Noriaki Kasai, fourth and extremely competitive despite windy conditions hostile to him. The race for the medals could be reduced to these four men, or at most to expand Kamil Stoch and Roman Koudelka, fifth and sixth respectively, trailing by a dozen points off the podium.
Already out of the game the winners of the last three editions of the event: Robert Kranjec, Simon Ammann and Gregor Schlierenzauer are all far away from the top positions. The two Italians engaged, Sebastian Colloredo and David Bresadola, they closed position respectively in the thirty-ninth and fortieth seeing so finish their World already after a jump as well as the names of some weight as that of the Slovene Jernej Damjan and Germany's Michael Neumayer .
The race, however, was marred by a grotesque incident to Antonin Hajek, crashed violently against the billboards due to an unusual fall when it was in the parterre. The Czech was on the ground and has had to resort to slide to evacuate to the hospital''. There is still no news about his condition.
Saturday 15, from 16.00 pm, the third and fourth series, you can always jump. In fact, the weather forecast is not encouraging as there is a wind storm. It is therefore possible that this ranking becomes final.
