Marius Lindvik is in the lead after two series of individual competition. The Norwegian is 6.5 points ahead of Stefan Kraft with jumps of 232.5 and 226.5 meters. The Austrian was measured 225.5 and 230 meters on Friday.
Great flights in the trial series. A very good jump by Jakub Wolny
In the trial series, the favorites showed class. The longest flight was shown by Timi Zajc, who measured 245 meters. This placed first. The Slovene started from the 7th starting beam. This is important information, because the judges often changed the length of the inrun. The fight for gold is going to be exciting, because he jumped 232 meters from the 5th beam and was second. Behind him was Stefan Kraft, who landed 1.5 meters closer and started from the beam positioned one step higher.
Karl Geiger, defending the title, also showed off a fantastic flight. The German was counted as much as 242 meters. Such a jump in the third series would certainly allow this jumper to advance, because he is currently in the second ten.
He did very well. The highest-ranked Pole at the halfway point, this time achieved 230 meters from the 9th starting beam. It was enough for seventh place. The rest of the Poles again without a flash. Piotr Żyła took 15th place after the attempt at 207.5 meters.
Kamil Stoch jumped even weaker. The world vice-champion from four years ago achieved 190 meters and was 21st. Paweł Wąsek was two places lower after a jump on 181 meters.
