Unlike what usually happens in the Women's Jumping World Cup, in today's race (as it will happen in Race -2 tomorrow) 50 athletes took part and not 40. Among the three blue present in Ljubno, the only one to have passed the cut of the qualification was Jessica Malsiner, who finished 46th after having faced Marita Kramer in the head-to-head. The "KO system" is the other big news for the women's sector brought by the "Silvester Tournament". As foreseen for the Tournée races, in the first series the athletes challenged each other in a head to head, with the pairings established by the result of the qualification: 1 vs 50; 2 vs 49; 3 vs 48 and so on. The 25 winners of the head-to-head matches and the best five "losers" had access to the second series. In Italy, in addition to the youngest of the Malsiner sisters, there were Martina Ambrosi, on her seasonal debut in the World Cup, and sixteen-year-old Martina Zanitzer, on her absolute debut in the top circuit. Both did not enter the top 50 but did not disfigure, finishing in 53rd and 55th place among the 71 entered in the qualification. The complete report soon!
