Stefan Kraft crashed again in Garmisch-Partenkirchen with bad luck in 18th place, so the fifth in Oberstdorf in the overall classification was out of the race prematurely. Although his teammates presented themselves as strong as a whole, it was not enough for the podium, led by fourth-placed Manuel Fettner, in Norway’s Halvor Egner Granerud’s second victory.
Granerud, who was also successful at the start, cheered in spring weather in front of 20,000 spectators, well ahead of Anze Lanisek (SLO) and qualification winner Dawid Kubacki (POL) about another sovereign success. Fettner, on the other hand, was almost 15 points short of the first ÖSV podium in Garmisch since 2017. Jan Hörl (5th), Daniel Tschofenig (7th) and Michael Hayböck (10th) also ended up in the top field. Granerud’s advantage in the Tournament standings before the third competition on Wednesday in Innsbruck is comfortable.
Kraft had bad luck in the first round with a strong crosswind for a short time. “I do think that the wind was to blame,” said the man from Salzburg and was annoyed that he was released immediately despite the unfavorable conditions. “It’s about the tour, waiting a minute wouldn’t have been stupid.” After several good jumps on the Olympic hill beforehand, it was particularly bitter, added the 2015 Tournament champion, who had been beaten several times in Bavaria in recent years. In the final, he only managed to limit the damage a little from 22nd place.
