The next station for me was the COC of the skijumpers in Klingenthal.It’s always nice to go there even if the conditions (most of the time it’s really windy!) are not always easy. This time the wind wasn’t the only problem. No, this time it was also rain! It was almost raining the whole weekend. Really terrible… it wasn’t heavy rain, but it was drizzling all the time. Not very nice, but hey, there’s no bad weather, so it couldn’t stop me from taking photos! And all in all it was better than the heavy rain from the Nordic Combined competitions. ;)
On Saturday we had two training rounds in the morning followed by the first competition in the afternoon. During the competition we had some wind breaks, because it got more and more windy – but we already know about that, so it was no real surprise. The first comp was won by Jakub Wolny from Poland. But his suit wasn’t okay, so he got disqualified. That’s why Anze Lanisek (144,0m , 132,0m , 259.1 points) became the winner of the first competition, followed by his teammate Peter Prevc (127,0m , 128,0m , 232.4 points) and Markus Eisenbichler (133,5m , 128,5m , 226.7 points) from Germany. Vincent Descombes Sevoie from France became fourth with some pretty good jumps on 129,0m and 134,0m. It really looked promising and it would be really important for the French team if he can keep it up.
New day, new chance but unfortunately the same bad weather like the day before. The second competition was cancelled during the second round because of the wind. Luckily we had a result after the first round, so almost everyone expected that the second round got cancelled after many wind breaks. This time Jakub Wolny was not disqualified and so he won the second competition with an awesome jump on 143,5m (133.4 points). Peter Prevc became second again (145,5m , 129.9 points), Wolfgang Loitzl third (129,0m , 111.8 points).
