With jumps on 97m and 93m the 20 year old Slovenian Rok Justin could win his 3rd COC-Competition just 0.9 points ahead of German Pius Paschke and Ronan Lamy-Chappuis from France . Pius Paschke, who was leading after the first round and local hero Ronan Lamy-Chappuis both jumped the first time on a COC – Podium. The best Team Performance was shown by the Germans which could place four athletes in the Top 10. Daniel Wenig on Rank 4, Karl Geiger on the 6th place and Jan Mayländer on 9th place all proofed their good shape in the moment. Also two Polish athletes showed up in the first ten with Aleksander Zniszczol right behind Wenig on the 5th place and Bartolomej Klusek on Rank 10. That showes that we can expect a strong national group in the next Worldcups in Poland. Robert Hrgota from Slovenia and Simen Key Grimsrud from Norway completed the Top 10. The Slovenian Team was strong the whole COC season, as they batteled with the Austrians for the victory was a bit disappointing today as after Hrogta the next Slovenian jumpe followed on the 17th place. The Norwegian team could bring another competitor in the second round and with the 18th place young Mats Berggaard could claim a good result. For the Austrians it wasn´t a really good but also not a bad day. Their best jumper Manuel Fettner missed on position 11 the Top 10. In the last COC he was twice on the podium. All in all they had a very compact Team Results with the places 11, 14,- Clemens Aigner, 15- Daniel Huber, 16 – Markus Eggenhofer, and 18 – Markus Schiffner. The best Italian on this day was former Worldcup starter Andrea Morassi who could grap one little COC-Point on place 30. 1. Rok Justin 267.6 2. Pius Paschke 266.7 3. Ronan Lamy-Chappuis 266.3 4.
