Greetings! Due to a very busy week, the weekend preview will be published only on the blog. I'll try to make a post-race thoughts video on Saturday (today), or Sunday. After this short informational package, let's get to the preview.
The previous weekend in Hinzenbach didn't bring major surprises. Friday saw two practice sessions on the Trambulina Valea Carbunarii hill. Hill record belongs to Eva Pinkelnig. Austrian jumped 101.0 meters on the second training round 6th of February, 2015. Slovenian male jumper, Anze Lanisek, jumped 100.5 meters in 2013. The results of the training rounds give a good source for the preview.
Both of the training rounds were won by the same jumper: Eva Pinkelnig. 26-year-old Austrian jumped on the first training round 96.5 meters, with a compensation of (+1.3/+5.9) from gate 33, collecting 80.2 points. On the second round Pinkelnig set the hill record. 101.0 meters (-2.5/0.0) brought her 79.5 meters. Yuki Ito's good jumps followed her to Romania. 2nd place behind Pinkelnig with 78.0 points, 96.0 meters, (+0.1/+5.9), and 4th on the second round: 95.0 meters (+0.9/0.0) gathering 76.8 points. Sara Takanashi presented two stable jumps finishing third on both of the training rounds: first round 96.5 meters (-1.5/+5.9) total of 77.4, second round 96.5 meters (-1.1/0.0) converting to 77.8 points. World Cup leader Iraschko-Stolz jumped the longest jump of the first training round: 97.0 meters (-3.6/+5.9), 4th place with 76.3 points. On the second round she finished right behind Pinkelnig with 78.4 points, 97.0 meters (-1.5/0.0).
Friday practice brought more promising results to Carina Vogt. Latest World Cup competition winner jumped 94.5 meters (-2.3/+5.9), and 94.0 meters (-2.5/0.0). 6th position of the first round with 72.6, and 5th place on the second round with a score of 71.4 points.
Last season Vogt was relaxing after the Olympic Games, so she didn't participate in the competitions. Both of the competitons were dominated by Takanashi. Japanese jumper won the first competition by 25.6 points ahead of Norwegian Maren Lundby, and Yuki Ito. The second competition Takanashi finished 10.4 points ahead Jessica Jerome, followed by an Italian jumper, Evelyn Insam.
Carina Vogt has finished in six previous competitions in TOP2. She has a great chance to continue her fantastic results: she definetly will be in TOP6, but most likely on the podium, as in Hinzenbach she saved her best jumps for the competitions. Takanashi seems to know the hill very well, so she is a podium contender. World Cup leader Iraschko-Stolz is maybe the biggest candidate for the win, next to Eva Pinkelnig, who has been very impressive this weekend. She was absent from the competitions last season, so she has adapted to the hill quickly. Black horse of the race is Yuki Ito. As the second round is in the progress, My TOP3 guess is: 1. Vogt, 2. Pinkelnig and 3. Iraschko-Stolz. More detailed information on about the first, and all the other rounds on Monday.
That's all for this weekend's preview. It's time to follow the competitions, and hope for great results by Carina Vogt, who jumps with number 38 on Saturday. Enjoy the weekend, check the links, and follow the blog for future posts! :)
