On connaissait la famille Prevc, voici la fratrie Kobayashi

Superbe week-end pour les deux frangins avec un doublé pour l'ainé Junshiro devant son public d'Hakuba et une superbe deuxième place pour le talentueux Ryoyu, âgé de seulement 21 ans.​

Le Slovène Anze Lanisek complète le podium du jour.

Junshiro Kobayashi remporte sa troisième victoire en carrière à ce niveau. Son jeune frère grimpe sur son premier podium.

Même chose pour le Slovène Lanisek.

...

A noter qu'il manquait la plupart des meilleurs spécialistes mondiaux sur cette étape d'Hakuba.

Le Grand Prix se poursuit les 9 et 10 septembre en Russie sur le tremplin de Chaikovsky.

Junshiro Kobayashi (JPN): "I'm really glad that I won again today. I'm very satisfied with my performance because I had two good jumps. I was a bit nervous before the final round yesterday, so I tried to be calmer today.

It's great that my brother and I achieved this 1-2 finish, I'm very happy about that. After the first round yesterday I said to him that we both should be on the podium, but it didn't work. Today I didn't say anything about it to him, because it seemed he was a bit nervous."

Ryoyu Kobayashi (JPN): "I'm disappointed because I wanted to win. It was the first time that I was the last to jump in the final round so I was very nervous. I was also a bit early at the take-off. But this disappointment today will also give me additional motivation for the next Grand Prix competitions and the winter season." 

Anze Lanisek (SLO): "It was a really difficult competition today because the wind conditions were changing a lot. Especially during the first part of the flight it was changing constantly between head and tail wind.

I had two very good jumps today and I'm extremely happy that I was finally able to perform this well in a competition and not only in training and in the qualification like so far this summer.
