Outstanding performance of Halvor Egner Granerud (original) (raw)
With his third place today, Markus Eisenbichler could move up to third in the overall ranking of the Willingen/6. "I was lucky with the wind conditions and now I'm very happy that I could be on the podium today. With conditions like that it can go either way", said Eisenbichler.
The surprise of the day was Klemens Muranka in fourth. The Pole, who holds the hill record in Willingen since Friday, confirmed today that he can jump really well on the Muehlenkopfhill in Willingen. Pius Paschke finished in a strong eighth place.
After finishing 12th yesterday, Simon Ammann was ninth today, a very strong performance by the 4-time Olympic champion after his long drought.
Stefan Kraft and Daniel Huber came in sixth and seventh today after they were struggling with the conditions in Saturday's competition. Stefan Kraft told after the event: "It was extremely difficult today and I didn't expect that the jury would carry out the competition, although it was far from fair. But still, you have to say that the best were in the Top 3 again today. In such conditions, you have to attack and I was able to do that today. I'm definitely very satisfied with my jump."
The World Cup continues next weekend with two competitions in Klingenthal. As always, they can be followed in our Ski Jumping Live-Ticker.
