Statements of the Top 3:

Daiki Ito (JPN): "It was very windy today, so the competition was maybe not completely fair and I’m glad that the second round was cancelled. Of course I’m very happy and I’ll train more in the future and do my best also next time. I will take part in the competitions in Wisla and Hakuba and then I’ll stay in Japan to get prepared for the winter.”

Adam Malysz (POL): “The competition was very difficult because it was so windy. Maybe there was even more wind than yesterday when the qualification was cancelled. I’m satisfied with the second place because my two jumps yesterday were not that good. The jump in the competition today was not one of my best, but still pretty good.”

Maciej Kot (POL): “It’s great for me to be here. That was the first podium finish of my career and I also won the qualification. That’s why it was a very good day for me.”

The next two Competitions will be held Wisla, the hometown of Adam Malysz.
