- possibly in the title add ": presentation of the men's season of the special jump" --- Winner of the crystal ball and undisputed ruler of last season - stained only by the havoc staged during the individual competition by the normal hill of the Seefeld World Cup - Kobayashi is expected to confirm the title in the maximum circuit that the discipline expects from the times of gold of Janne Ahonen, at the end of March 2020 will be 15 years since the last time the Finn succeeded in this enterprise. For his part, Stoch will not need to live the entire season at a high level, but rather to present himself at the start of the World Ski Championships in Planica with a compromise of psycho-physical form / materials from the first class, to try to put in bulletin board the only trophy that the collection lacks. If he were to succeed, the thirty-two-year-old from Zakopane would become the second man in history after Matti NykkÃ¤nen able to win the crystal ball, the four-spring tournament, the individual world gold at the Nordic Ski World Championships, the individual Olympic title and the individual laurel World Championships.
