The twenty-three registered with the SciClub of Hinzenbach & egrave; finally managed to get the coveted first victory in the World Cup, leading in the race the superiority & agrave; shown in training, winning by a margin of no less than 11.3 points down on the evergreen Noriaki Kasai and 17.1 points on the pi & ugrave; young compatriot, who then defended the lead in the overall standings for 6 lengths.
So Stefan Kraft won the 63rd edition of Tourn & eacute; and 4 trampolines. This is not a surprise equivalent to that represented by Thomas Diethart last year, however, the 'statement of twenty-one was not predictable at the start of the event.
In fact, the jumper of Salzburg started with meager chances of success, for INTED equal to those of Richard Freitag, with whom he shared the role of outsider because its overt inconstancy un''incognita was too big to be put among the favorites. Instead, the native of Schwarzach im Pongau swept away the perplexity & agrave; always remaining at the top and imposing with merit.
This is the 16th won by Vierschanzentournee & rsquo; Austria, a goal that allows it to reach Finland and the German movement as a whole on the top list of nations with pi & ugrave; statements.
The impressive figure & egrave; that almost half & agrave; of Austrian victories have come in the last 7 years thanks to a winning streak unmatched in the history of the event. In fact, before 2008 no country had won for pi & ugrave; three consecutive times and, even considering Germany broadly Filotto pi & ugrave; long had stopped to 4 during the years & rsquo; 50 and the years & rsquo; 60 (three statements of the German & rsquo; East Helmut Recknagel, one of that of & rsquo; West Max Bolkart).
& Egrave; altres & Igrave; astonishing to note that the seven recent successes Austrians are not children of the superiority & agrave; of a single athlete, but they arrived with six different men, born in a time span of 13 years and with the & ldquo; & rdquo participation; six different l & auml; nder. Schlierenzauer (born 1990) and Kofler (1984) come from the Tyrol, Morgenstern (1986) from Carinthia, Diethart (1992) from Nieder & ouml; sterreich, Kraft (1993) from Salzburg and Loitzl (1980) despite being born in Ober & ouml; sterreich you & egrave ; format in Styria.
Returning to today's race, Kasai for a change has further improved the record of pi & ugrave athlete; senior to the podium at the World Cup, taking it to 42 years and 214 days, but had to give up finish in the top-three ranking General Tourn & eacute; and 22 years after the first time. Peter Prevc fact & egrave; managed to defend third place 2.4 points. The twenty-two of Kranj Slovenia back then on the podium of Tourn & egrave; and after eleven years (the 'last Slovenian capable of so much had been Peter Zonta, third in 2003 -' '04).
Unfortunately the series finale & egrave; was marred by a nasty fall of Simon Ammann, the second of his Tourn & eacute; and, but unlike what happened nine days ago in Oberstdorf the 'impact with the snow & egrave; been without consequences Since & eacute; the 'Swiss & egrave; was taken away from the landing zone with a copious bleeding from the nose. We await news on the health of the red cross.
