The crazy first “10” in Beijing
The Sunday competition on the normal hill had an unexpected course already in the first round. Only 17th place was the Norwegian, 21st German Karl Geiger and 22nd Norwegian Halvor Egner Granerud. Markus Eisenbichler did not even qualify for the second round.
The best “10” of the competition after two jumps was also unexpected. There were only three competitors from the top “10” of the current World Cup classification – Japanese Ryoyu Kobayashi (runner-up of P¦), Marius Lindvik (he was seventh and fourth in P¦) and (he was 10th, and in P ¦ is 8.) Interestingly, there were the same number of jumpers from the fourth ten P¦. 37th in this classification Dawid Kubacki won a bronze medal, 31st Russian Yevgeny Klimov took fifth place, and his compatriot, 33rd in P¦ – Dani³ Sadriejew was in eighth place.
In the first “10” in the competition on the normal hill in Beijing, as many as five jumpers were not on the podium in World Cup competitions at least three times this season. Manuel Fettner and they were in the best “3” twice, Yevgeny Klimov – once, and Dawid Kubacki and Dani³ Sadriejew – not once.
