Jarkko Määttä got time to sit on the editorial site and give thumbs up to the television cameras after favorable winds helped him to a 133.5-meter jump in the second round in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on Thursday. Määttä finished in 18th place in the competition and was the only Finns managed to get to the second round.
The Norwegian Anders Jacobsen won the competition before the Swiss Simon Amman and slovenen Peter Prevc. Thanks to the victory Jacobsen is now in the race for victory in reversing the week.
Austrian Stefan Kraft kept the lead in reversing the week, but the margin to Peter Prevc is only 1.1 points. Treating Michael Hayböök and Jacobsen is four.
18th-place is Määttä fifth best ever, but the place in the second round hung by a hair. Määttä lost the duel against Germany’s Severin Freund but made it as one of the top five losers.
– The positive thing is that I improved large compared with the training and qualifying yesterday. Now it began to be quite good hope. The second round was different in the sense that the jump was clearly more relaxed and everything worked better, said
Lauri Asikainen lost the duel against German Michael Neumayer and site did not say in the second round. Asikainen’s hope measured 119 meters.
– A bad day and a miserable hope. Now helps nothing other than to accumulate and create a positive attitude towards competition in Innsbruck, said Asikainen.
Anssi Koivurantas 107.5 meters long jump was not enough to beat Daiki Ito. Sami Niemi jumped 120.5 meters, but his duellpar Michael Hayböök jumped 134th
– The service ran fine, it’s just to remember to drop the boom. But after it was all terribly. It runs just not said Koivuranta.
