Szczepan Kupczak
The pole, Szczepan Kupczak, wants to get the most out of his jump and lands more than bumpy. He cannot be satisfied with his 93.5 meters. However, the wind has also gotten worse again. The number of points is sufficient for fourth place.
09:46
Otto Niittykoski
Oh no! The Finn Otto Niittykoski had too much assist after landing and fell. At least he can leave the run on his own two feet. But of course the competition was over. Bitter! Ultimately, the Finns also have to do without Ilkka Herola, who has corona.
09:44
Jakob Lange
Solid attempt by Jakob Lange. The DSV athlete starts the jump a little cautiously, but does not have to make any major corrections in the air. 94 meters are quite good, but for the time being it is only enough for ninth place because the wind has turned a little and there is a slight updraft.
09:42
Thomas Rettenegger
Wow! Thomas Rettenegger made a first exclamation mark with a jump to 100 meters. The Austrian uses his levers perfectly and catapults himself to a grandiose height. The athlete seems a little surprised himself and doesn’t even fly the jump completely. When landing, the ski also takes him quite a long way away. Still, he’s taking the lead for now.
09:40
Gasper Brecl
Gasper Brecl jumps a little too late and has to work a lot in the air to stay in the perfect flight position. At 92 meters, it is in fourth place.
09:38
Philipp Orter
The former junior champion from Austria does not quite reach the required height and lands at 92 meters. In the intermediate ranking, that’s enough for third place.
09:37
Marco Heinis
The Frenchman Marco Heinis comes off the table well and glides over the slope in a compact flight system. However, he loses his balance exactly on the fall line. That gives heavy deductions, although not all of the five judges have rated the sentence as overturned.
09:35
Jared Shumate
The US boy Jared Shumate can also be satisfied with his jump. 96 meters are enough for first place.
09:33
Andrzej Szczechowicz
Andrzej Szczechowicz has to climb off the beam again because of the strong tail wind. But it works in the second attempt. The young Pole comes off the table well at his World Cup premiere and reaches 95 meters.
09:28
It’s about to start!
In three minutes Andrzej Szczechowicz will be the first of 50 starters to go off the hill. The facility in northern Italy is one of the smaller with a K point of 97 and a hill size of 104 meters. Accordingly, we can prepare for a short and exciting jump round. For the somewhat weaker athletes, the tailwind could lead to problems, which was already shown quite clearly in the rehearsal.

Lamparter in the trial run in front
The trial run ended a few minutes ago. Johannes Lamparter showed the best jump. The Austrian was able to assert himself with a jump of 102.5 meters against the surprisingly strong Espen Andersen (NOR) and Mario Seidl (AUT). Vincenz Geiger (4th) and Eric Frenzel (6th) were also in good shape. The 93.5 meters of Johannes Rydzek, which were enough for the ninth highest number of points, also give hope.
09:12
Lamparter and Seidl want to attack the front
The ÖSV team starts with a total of nine men. Philipp Orter and Thomas Rettenegger, who were last active in the COC, will go off the hill in the starting phase with the numbers five and eight. PCR winner Franz-Josef Rehrl wants to set a fragrance brand with number 22. Lukas Klapfer, Stefan Rettenegger, Martin Fritz and Lukas Greiderer follow with the start numbers 26, 32, 35 and 37. However, the hopes rest mainly on Mario Seidl (45), who will be wearing the blue jersey of the best jumper in the field, and on Johannes Lamparter, who completes the jump run with the number 50

DSV athletes want to recommend themselves for the Olympics
The DSV starts with seven athletes. Jakob Lange kicks off with the number 12, who yesterday was allowed to compete in his first World Cup outing this winter in the mixed team. For the remaining German starters, who all start much later, it is sometimes about an Olympic starting place. In particular, the veterans Johannes Rydzek (number 36), Fabian Rießle (38) and Manuel Faißt (starting number 43) have to stretch. Julian Schmid (46), Eric Frenzel (48) and Vincenz Geiger (49) should almost certainly have their starting place. On the other hand, Terence Weber, who is third overall in the World Cup, will be missing today, who will be given a break after his strong performance in the mixed team
09:00
The favorites
The great dominator Jarl Magnus Riiber unfortunately has to pass due to back problems. Accordingly, an open and close race is almost guaranteed. With Vincenz Geiger, Eric Frenzel, Julian Schmid and Fabian Rießle, the German team has at least four hot contenders for a very high place. However, in the provisional round of the competition, the Austrians were also able to draw attention to themselves with Franz Joseph Rehrl in first place and Johannes Lamparter in third place. The same applies to the two Japanese Yoshito and Akito Watabe, although it will be difficult for Yoshito in particular on the track. The Norwegians around Jørgen Gråbak and Jens Lurås Oftebro are likely to show themselves strong here, but they haven’t settled down so well on the hill so far.

Looking back on yesterday
The weekend opened with a mixed team competition consisting of two women and two men. As expected, the team from Norway prevailed. The other podium places went to Austria (2nd) and Germany (3rd).
