16:45. One competition follows another and Valentin Foubert continues to impress. 4th in the qualifiers, the Frenchman scoredhis third top 10 in a row in the World Cup on Sunday 7 December on the HS134 big hill in Wisla (Poland). Highly confident, the CS Courchevel licensee put enough height into his jumps to erase his mistakes. 11th after the first, he finally finished 10th with marks of 130 m and 128 m.
Up front, the duel was once again concentrated between Domen Prevc and Ryoyu Kobayashi. In the lead after the first jump, the Japanese eventually ran out of distance on the next one (129.5 m against 132 m) to limit the Slovenian’s comeback.
In the end, only 0.9 points separated them. Domen Prevc completed the double, having dominated the normal springboard competition the day before. This result puts him in the lead overall, while Anze Lanisek was only 8th. “It’s a responsibility and a pressure. We’ll have to get back to work,” said the new yellow bib.
Germany’s Philipp Raimund rounded off the podium, having already been on the box the day before. Austria, on the other hand, had a very complicated Sunday, with not a single jumper in the top 12.
