The last of the qualifying on Monday Poles Piotr vein, collide on Tuesday KOs with one of the great favorites of TCS, a German Severin Freund. Runner-up World Cup jumped brilliantly, and what he did Pole, can be considered very lucky “crawled” into the top fifty, which gives the right to take part in the competition.

The jumpers Lukasz Kruczek acquitted on Monday as in previous competitions of the season. In addition to the Hula rest he slid from the door to the hill stealthily disappear without substitutes smile. But from what I enjoy, when Poles form is awful from the beginning of winter? Clement Muranka not even managed to win qualification.

Stoch earned 121.5 m, which was enough for 33rd place. This means that in the first round of the competition in Oberstdorf two-time champion of the Games in Sochi will face Andreas Wank, and it will be Germany was considered the favorite. In qualifying I received 128 landed in 18th place. It seems that the first challenge for the leader of our staff will not fight with the leaders, but penetration to the final thirty to chances of achieving a good place in the TCS not lost at the start. – Certainly we have no right to exchange Stoch among the favorites to win the tournament – said vice-president of the Polish Skiing Association Andrew Wąsowicz.

The best Polish was the Hula (22nd place in qualifying). On the one hand it looks shockingly, he turns upside down the hierarchy in a team, on the other – confirms the results of the current season. For 29-year-old jumper from Szczyrk many fans have already placed the cross. Meanwhile, he hopes the best and most evenly from the whole team. Unfortunately, this is not the result of increases in the form of Huli, but rather collapse colleagues. That’s what happens with Stoch, is downright shocking. Player of the class and of such repute falls from the landing as someone who does not dream of victories, but he just wants to jump to survive.

After the recent World Cup in Engelberg Stoch admitted that he feels lost and does not know what happens with his form. Causes searched nervously, before TCS Polish athletes got new suits. Nothing, however, has not changed. The crisis continues and characters out of the impasse in sight.

– I think Camilla would break one good jump and that this jump will come quickly – hopes Wąsowicz.

While Polish jumpers accompany Monday funeral march, it rivals jumped phenomenally. The limit is 130 m broke the entire top ten, with Peter Prevc at the helm, although the leader of the World Cup started from a lower acceleration than the Poles. Slovenia won with Feundem by 6.2 points. In the opinion of experts, the two have to fight for victory in Oberstdorf, as well as the whole of TCS. They will not be easy, however. Stefan Kraft was fourth, giving excellent jump (136 meters), well he wrote to his compatriot Michael Hayboeck (sixth place). The Austrians will fiercely defend a series of seven consecutive victories in the general classification TCS, since 2008 no one in it is not defeated. Prior to Kraft Hayboeck made phenomenon cracked up to be Prevc squeezed into the general classification on the lowest step of the podium.

The results of the qualifications could also breathe hope into a crowd of two of the most charismatic athletes in the field. 43-year-old Noriaki Kasai was seventh and although he lost to Prevc up 18.8 points, showed that he is able to fight for high goals. The same four-time Olympic champion Simon Ammann. Swiss extend his career to give yourself a chance to win TCS. This year he came to Oberstdorf, being 14th in the overall standings of the World Cup. On Monday he took 15th place, but the leap beyond the limit of 130 meters indicates that the top does not split it gap. The gulf seems to share her jumpers Kruczek. It remains to pray for a miracle that can happen only in increments.

Couple of Poles in Tuesday’s contest (beginning at 17.15, live on Eurosport and TVP 1): Stefan Hula – Robert Kranjec (Slovenia), Maciej Kot – manuel fettner (Austria), Kamil Stoch – Andreas Wank (Germany), Peter Vein – Severin Freund (Germany).
