La Suissesse Bigna Windmueller prend une belle 6e place. Léa Lemare se classe 30e.

Les réactions :
Sara Takanashi (JPN): ”The wind conditions today were very bad. We had to wait long for our jumps and the gate was changed very often. It was a difficult round. My jump was good, but the landing was not. I need to work on that.”
Yuki Ito (JPN): ”It’s a pity that we couldn’t complete the final round. I was lucky with the wind conditions during my jump. I want to be again on the podium in Zao tomorrow.”
Carina Vogt (GER): ”Today it was a very difficult competition due to the strong headwind and long waiting time before the jumps. I think that jury made the right decision to cancel the second round. I’m in a good shape and I will try to improve it even further before the Olympics in Sochi.
