Prevc and Severin Freund wiped out in the second series of the hill record in Bischofshofen, both exceeding the limit of 140 meters, but it was indisputably better Slovene. Finally he lived to see a time when friends took him on his shoulders, and he could raise his hands. It was not an easy road to the summit, although Prevc years is considered a great talent. Until Thursday in the decisive moments of a career he survived but a few disappointments.
March 22, 2015 Prevc of the year could have doubted that it would ever be number 1. Two days earlier won the penultimate contest of the season in Planica, which gave him a real chance to fight for the Crystal Globe. He led after the first round last competition, but the second stroke victory took his teammate Jurij Tepes, better by 2.8 points. If Prevc kept the lead, have won the World Cup, finishing second, gave him Freund, who scored the same number of points (1729), but won more victories in the season.
Slovene when he was behind her disappointment at the World Championships Falun, where he has not won a medal. Crystal Ball eluded him for the second time – in 2014 it from being lost in the Olympic form of Kamil Stoch. Prevc began to flourish quickly: no medals in the world championships in Val di Fiemme and the Olympic Games in Sochi, but not a single gold.
On Thursday, finally stood on the highest step of the podium prestigious event – the 64th Four Hills Tournament. In Bischofshofen he won in style, beat Freund and today is finally the star No. 1. He paused streak of seven wins Austrians in the Four Hills Tournament. This season in 10 competitions of the World Cup podium finishes, including as many as 6 times at the highest level. The adjusted rate can be called a dominator.
A thrilling battle was also behind his back Prevc and Freund for third place in the overall standings, which fought the Austrian Michael Hayboeck and Norwegian Kenneth Gangnes. Hayboeck comeback, making the Austrians rescued even though the place on the podium.
At the opposite extreme are the Poles, which on SCT could afford to play only frustrating, trzecioplanowych roles. Three – Stefan Hula, Maciej Kot and Andrew groaned – advanced to the final round, but took place from 24. to 30. Stoch was gone after the first jump, landing on the 33rd place. In the general classification, and so it was in the best in the team Lukasz Kruczek, occupying 23rd place. The last tournament as weak as this year our athletes passed in 2009, when the general classification was 33. Malysz, Stoch 36, 40. Conductor Peter and Maciej Kot 58.
But the players entered Kruczek in the season with great expectations. In November, team coach, president PZN apoloniusz tajner, and themselves jumpers assured that the team is stronger and better prepared than ever. The actual picture early in the season, however, is disastrous: lost feeling even Stoch, in which twice Olympic champion in Sochi hard to believe. Over the crew hung a black cloud of helplessness and uncertainty after the competition in Bischofshofen Stoch interrupts compete in the World Cup to training with snag in Szczyrk, look for increases in disposal. On the weekend of the World Cup competitions Willingen B team coach Maciej Maciusiak take Hula, Kota, groaned, James Free and Jan Ziobro.
