In the late afternoon today was staged the second jumping competition with the long weekend of Nordic disciplines in Ruka ski. Today the weather conditions you are made to feel better, so much so that they have handed victory to Severin Freund, able to take advantage of the great.

Compared to Friday's competition the race management has opted for a more selective competition, blasting athletes with relatively low speeds, going to sacrifice the performance in favor of security. In fact, among the race yesterday and today's qualifying, it is different falls are registered, least those of Joachim Hauer and Denis Kornilov. So first win of the season for the Bavarian twenty-eight, finding himself to jump in idyllic conditions in the first series and shaking the official record of the trampoline belonging Gregor Schlierenzauer, landing at 146 meters, four beyond the point HS. Despite the excellent performance Freund has found the command with only a few points on the second, because of the wind linked compensation. In the decisive race did not became intimidated by the overwhelming comeback Daniel Andre Tande, adjusting it to the second end position thanks to a very solid jump, although again with favorable weather conditions. In contrast, the most unfortunate of the whole weekend was just the young Norwegian, the favorite of the vigil for both competitions scheduled. In the first series, to be honest, there has also put a bit 'of his getting only the eighth interim square, but in the contract decisive segment performed better technical movement, registering the best jump of the week -end and risking complete a comeback that would have been incredible. Third place for the increasingly incredible manuel fettner, who equaled the best result of his career and clocked his second top three personnel in the maximum circuit of snow competitions. You will not get the class blows of the discipline leader, but it certainly has a technical stability that few have, the proof is the fourth place in both race series. At the foot of the podium one Stefan Kraft excellent only half the excellent test valsagli the provisional second position after the first run, is the quid pro quo the decisive jump, run at a time with strong gusts of wind side, who could not to deal with them. Vincent Descombes Sevoie is showing the world that with hard work, assimilated a step at a time, and with a great desire to surprise you can get out dall'ordinari results. Proof of this is the fifth place today, depending top 10 in two races. See him to slap (metaphorically) the dominator of last season, at a time theoretically unfavorable to him, is a impronosticabile event, well he succeeded. An example to follow for our own jumpers. Confirmations from around the opening of the World Cup were Andreas Kofler (6th) and Karl Geiger (9th), capable of taking a placement in the top 10 in both races go on stage on Rukatunturi, an unfavorable springboard to the characteristics of both, not exactly renowned for fliers. He regretted that the result of today's Polish Maciej Kot, capable of fighting for the podium in the first set, bungling, however, in the decisive one in which he wanted to overdo leaving the tooth, sacrificing speed and finally finishing eighth. Therefore remains taboo podium on the snow for the winner of the last Summer Grand Prix. The Prevc brothers have suffered most of all low speed in-run, staying out of the fight for the top three from the first segment of the race. Peter managed to save a final seventh place, catching up five positions. Domen, however, came in 13 th position, returning to the ranks compared all'exploit valsogli the first victory in the maximum circuit. Just before the third of Kranj brothers he finished an excellent Evgeniy Klimov, the best result in his career. Actually, this result is not entirely surprising, because the Russian had already jumped very well in both qualifying and in general in recent days. The points collected are very heavy optic World Ranking List, vital crossroads for increasing the share of the chest at the disposal of Russia (currently only 3). In the qualifying round on stage before today's race victim was its champion junior David Siegel World, unlucky not to find that step of headwinds needed to obtain a measure to make the cut. Similar conditions have happened also to Johann Andre Forfang in the first heat, which obtained the 46th score, and Jurij Tepes, Andreas Stjernen, and Anders Fannemel in the decisive set, respectively, relegating them to the 30 ^, 29 ^ and 21 ^ final position. To underline for all four of the technical errors that were committed in the execution. Homemade Italian Sebastian Colloredo has once again demonstrated the best, dramatically exceeding the qualification and finding it difficult in race conditions. Still it got a 41st place that bodes well for the next steps. David Bresadola had back problems in qualifying, rock failed extensively.
