13eme succès en coupe du monde pour Freund,
Le quatrième cette saison pour le sauteur Allemand qui vit actuellement la plus belle période de sa vie sportive. Déjà en tête de la première manche après un saut à 138.5m, Freund conservera son trône sur le second saut en se posant à 140m.
Cet après-midi sur le grand tremplin de Titisee Neustadt, il y avait Freund et les autres.
Son dauphin, le leader du général Autrichien Stefan Kraft totalise onze points de moins. Le troisième Peter Prevc, deuxième du général devant Freund, termine avec quatorze points de retard.
A noter que Peter Prevc a vu ce matin ses deux petits frères Cene, né en 1996 et Domen, né en 1999, prendrent la 5eme place par équipes lors des mondiaux juniors à Almaty.
Vincent Descombes-Sevoie se classe 43eme. Ronan Lamy-Chappuis non qualifié pour ce concours.
Les réactions :
Severin Freund (GER): "It was a great day for me. I've never had a very good result here so far, but today it went well right from the start and if the training jump is as good as mine was today, it makes the whole day a lot easier. Every win in the World Cup is fantastic and so I'm very happy about it, but it doesn't change anything for Falun. It would be nice if it would continue like that, because it would mean I'll go there in a good shape. The World Championships will be very interesting and I'm looking forward to it."
Stefan Kraft (AUT): "It's still some time until Falun, but first I want to show a good performance also tomorrow. It's a lot of fun for me right now and so I'll also go to Vikersund. After the ski flying at the Kulm I won in Wisla, so maybe this is a positive sign."
Peter Prevc (SLO): "At first I had some problems with this hill, but then I knew how to jump here it worked pretty well. It's my second time in Titisee-Neustadt and I'm very happy about the third place. I did a good job in summer, that's why I can jump on a high level now during the course of the winter season."
