Un concours "seconde division"

Si les meilleurs filles sont venues en nombre sur le sol Russe, c'était loin d'être le cas pour cette épreuve masculine boudée par une bonne quarantaine de sauteurs.

Kranjec remporte sa troisième victoire en carrière en GP, la première depuis Hakuba en 2009.

Anze Semenic fête son première podium à ce niveau tout comme le prometteur Allemand Karl Geiger.

Un second concours est prévu dimanche.

Les réactions (source FIS)

Robert Kranjec (SLO): "My two jumps were really good, in the second round I also had some luck with the wind. I like this hill, it's like the large hill in Planica. Before I came here I wasn't in a good shape, in Japan I had some problems with the inrun position.

I will try everything to win again tomorrow, but it's a new day and there are many others who are jumping well."

Anze Semenic (SLO): "This result was a surprise for me, but I was already close in training. My jumps already got better and better during our training in Planica. This hill is very similar to the one in Planica and I really like it. Tomorrow I want to show by best jumps again."

Karl Geiger (GER): "There are a few reasons why it went better for me today than yesterday. First it's the stress of the competition, which helps me to focus. I also analyzed yesterday's jumps and drew conclusions so I could jump better today.

It would be a highlight to be on the podium again tomorrow, but I just want to have another good competition and then we'll see."
