Today’s race in Zakopane was a really tough one…especially during the second session of jumps with a heavy snowfall, but despite the weather conditions the competition went on and the final result was a good one for Poland which saw Kamil Stoch win on the home country hill ahead of German Richard Freitag and Austrian Andreas Kofler. Other good notes today…a positive result also for Finland (finally) with Janne Happonen who finished the race at 7th place today, with Anssi Koivuranta at 13th -so far the best results of the season for Pekka Niemelea and his boys-.As Finland can celebrate their best result, Norway instead had a bit of bad luck and maybe also a lack of concentration today, best results inside team Norge came from Rune Velta 14th and Vegard Sklett 17th while Anders Bardal couldn’t qualified for the second round after a bad jump of only 98 meters (he found really bad weather conditions during his jump if truth be told!)It was also a good day for Slovenia who placed four jumpers in the top 15th (Peter Prevc 4th, Robert Kranjec 5th, Jurij Tepes 8th and Jernej Damjan 11th). A good 20th place for Sebastian Colloredo who had to fight against such terrible weather conditions as well just like the other jumpers.But today is the Kamil Stoch day, the young polish never hide he wanted to win on the home hill (like he did last year).Since Malyzs retired last season, Stoch became the jumper the polish team channel their big expectations, and today he paid off.
