WC Zakopane/POL

Yesterday wow, today rather meager. Yesterday full of hope and pleasant anticipation for today`s individual competition and then our boys scraped along with moderate till bad jumps. The victory, second and third place have made others among themselves. At relatively steady tailwind won the Pole Kamil Stoch (1st round: 130,5 meters, final round: 131 meters, total score: 287,4 points) on his home hill ahead Andreas Wellinger (1st round: 130,5 meters, final round: 133 meters, total score: 285,8 points) and Richard Freitag (1st round: 132,5 meters, final round: 131 meters, total score: 284,2 points) from Germany.

Best Norwegian man was once again Daniel-André Tande. After the first round he was with a jump on 132 meters on the 4th place and thus within range to the podium. But cause of a little mistake his second jump was not so far (129,5 meters) and he landed on place 7th (total score: 278,5 points) at the end.

It`s really frustrating that the performances of the others are a single up and down. Yesterday in the team competition have especially Tom Hilde and Johann André Forfang shown two really good jumps. But today both missed the final and achieved only place 36th (1st round: 119,5 meters, total score: 119,1 points) and 42nd (1st round: 116 meters, total score: 112,9 points). As well as Joachim Hauer wasn`t in the second round and became 48th (1st round: 112 meters, total score: 99,2 points).

Likewise there isn`t much to say about Anders Fannemel. Yesterday he has shown at least one good jump, but today he only became 30th (1st round: 125,5 meters, final round: 115 meters, total score: 240,1 points). Leastwise Andreas Stjernen landed among the top 20 - with solid jumps on 124 meters and 125 meters he came on place 19th (total score: 263,8 points).
