Die Siegesserie von Thomas Morgenstern im Sommer-Grand-Prix der Skispringer ist am Sonntag gerissen. Der Weltcup-Gesamtsieger musste sich am Sonntag bei äußerst windigen Bedingungen nach einem 112,5-m-Sprung aber nur dem Polen Kamil Stoch (118,0) geschlagen geben.

Die Konkurrenz wurde nach dem ersten Durchgang abgebrochen. Dritter wurde der Norweger Rune Velta, zweitbester ÖSV-Adler war Manuel Fettner als Achter. Nun folgt eine zweiwöchige Pause, ehe es in Hakuba (JPN) und Almaty (KAZ) weitergeht.

 

Statements der Top 3:

Kamil Stoch (POL): “I’m very happy about my victory today, especially because I worked very hard and fought for that since the beginning of the summer. I already knew in the morning that it would be a difficult competition because of the wind. The only thing you can do is focus, and that’s what I did. I tried not to think about the distance, but only about what I have to do.

Thomas Morgenstern (AUT): “It’s never perfect if a competition is decided after only one round. But when the first round already took two hours it’s probably a good decision to cancel. It was a challenge to stay focused for so long and that’s why I’m happy about the second place.”

Rune Velta (NOR): “I’m very happy about my result in today’s competition. I jumped very well, of course you can always speculate if the wind helped or not and, for sure, I did not have bad conditions. But I think I also jumped well.”
