In fact, in mid-competition commanded Andreas Kofler and Jan Matura. Even the'' Austrian landed at 140.0 meters equaling the record set by official trampoline Roar Ljøkelsøy in 2006.
However, both have failed to be confirmed in the second series, respectively, slipping to fifth and seventh.
Jernej Damjan, third after the first jump, he instead repeated and won the first victory in the World Cup of his career, surpassing only 6 tenths of a point Peter Prevc. The twenty-Kranj has recovered seven positions after finding less favorable conditions of competition in the first series.
The podium was completed by Robert Kranjec, in turn able to recover four-poster bed. It should be noted as the'' average age of the top seven riders in the race today is nearly 32 years since the fourth position was the prerogative of the German Michael Neumayer and sixth Noriaki Kasai of Japan.
Moreover, the top 10 athletes on Saturday are the same as entered in the top ten again on Sunday, albeit in a different order.
Positive evidence of both Italians engaged because they have both marked points. Roberto Dellasega concluded immediately before David Bresadola twenty-sixth, twenty-seventh.
In the overall standings of the World Cup Prevc stretched rising to 812 points against 721 and 670 of Schlierenzauer of Stoch. Kasai is back in fourth place with 646 front Ammann (608) and Bardal (598).
