WC Oberstdorf/GER

Today were difficult wind conditions - sometimes upwind, sometimes back wind. Therefore some skijumpers couldn`t show their best jumps. Altogether the audience in Oberstdorf have seen an exciting competition and a new hill record from 234,5 meters by Andreas Wellinger. At the end today`s winner was Stefan Kraft (1st round: 227,5 meters, final round: 218 meters, total score: 439,9 points) from Austria close ahead the German Andreas Wellinger (1st round: 234,5 meters, final round: 222,5 meters, total score: 434,8 points) and Kamil Stoch (1st round: 222,5 meters, final round: 217 meters, total score: 425,4 points) from Poland.

After Robert Johanssons 3rd place in yeterday`s qualification one expected a strong competition. But unfortunately Robert couldn`t fulfill the expectations. He didn`t cracked the 200 meters and only landed on 185 meters and 185,5 meters. Place 27th at the end.

In case of Daniel-André Tande it seemed to be right that he needed some time to take to the new hill. Today Tande has done a strong performance with jumps on 215,5 meters and 229 meters. At the end he landed on the 4th place (total score: 418,2 points).

Andreas Stjernen hadn`t such a good start yesterday, but today he did good jumps on 217,5 meters and 197 meters and secured himself place 15th (total score: 361,7 points).
