For the athlete of Schwarzach im Pongau there is to record a convincing performance of 134.5 meters (over 4.5 HS) point, framed by a sumptuous telemark. It must be said that the environmental conditions have gradually improved during the test, thus facilitating all the big circuit.
Tomorrow, however, the star could not be Kraft: in the training jumps, in fact, has always imposed the one who is at the top of the ranking of Tournee, namely Kamil Stoch. Polish opted to desert the qualification, then tomorrow will start with bib number 50, challenging today's winner.
Among the contenders for the golden eagle, Daniel Andre Tande appeared to back: since the training jumps confirmed the little feeling with the Bergiselschanze, then tomorrow will start again these 8/10 minutes before Stoch and Kraft, with all the case related to the wind variations.
Returning to today's competition, behind home favorite there is the Polish duo of Maciej Kot and Piotr Zyla, both more convincing than in the past, about Stefan Horngacher.
Who has not confirmed the excellent results of the training was Michael Hayboeck, as manuel fettner: for them there will still be a leading role in the race scheduled between 24 hours.
Debut in this Tournee of 4 trampolines for the Italian delegation: Sebastian Colloredo is that Alex Insam, respectively, in 43 ^ and 44 ^ square, have passed the qualification rock. Tomorrow, in the head-to-head, Vincent Descombes Sevoie will challenge Tarvisio, while Fettner jumper Val Gardena.
There are many interesting direct clashes happening tomorrow, among them on all the aforementioned Stoch-Kraft, to follow-Fannemel Zyla, Freud-Hayboeck, Ito-Prevc D., Koudelka-Ammann and Tepes-Freitag. It goes without saying that some of these athletes are struggling exceedingly, especially Anders Fannemel and Severin Freund.
Important deletions there were not: since the last weeks there has been a backward step by Vojtech Stursa (57th) and Tom Hilde (58th). Increasingly in crisis the Japanese Kento Sakuyama (58th) and Ryoyu Kobayashi (53 °), whose failure to qualify is no longer news.
Tomorrow will begin the first round at 14.00, the hope is that everything can take place in conditions that are as homogeneous as possible, given the disruption it will invest the Tyrol in the coming hours.
