With 272.8 points and distances of 133.5 and 141 meters, he won ahead of Poland’s David Kubacki (+1.3 points) and German Karl Geiger (+3.6). The best ÖSV man was Michael Hayböck from Upper Austria, who missed the podium by 3.8 points in fourth place. With Stefan Kraft and Manuel Fettner, who finished eighth and ninth, three Austrians made it into the top ten.
For Hayboeck, who struggled with back problems for a long time, it was the best World Cup result in a long time. “It was really close to the podium. I made two really cool jumps,” said Stefan Kraft’s roommate. “It feels infinitely good, it was a lot of hard work,” Hayböck looked back on difficult times due to health problems in an ORF TV interview. “It makes me incredibly happy because the last year and a half haven’t been that easy. I’ve had a good summer for the first time in a long time, only a short phase in which my back pinched a bit again.” Now he sees a good development. It has been a while since his last individual podium to date, specifically on March 1, 2020 in Lahti.
Satisfactory team result
“Three in the top ten, we’re happy with that. I’m always happy to take top ten, but there are still a few reserves,” said Kraft, who expected that the trainers Hayböck and himself for the mixed competition on Saturday ( 11.45 a.m./live Eurosport). “Normally it’s the best two. I think Michi and I will jump.”
ÖSV head coach Andreas Widholzl was “quite satisfied”. Hayboeck was always on point in all three jumps (competition and qualification). “We have three in the ten, it hasn’t been like it was in Ruka yet, but the hill here isn’t that easy to jump. The wind changed in between.” The Tyrolean knows that jumpers with a more aggressive style would have a harder time on the back with an old profile. “Krafti finds it a bit more difficult, his style is based on flight.”
In the overall World Cup standings, Kubacki is 34 points ahead of Lanisek with 370 points, while Kraft, who was second and Ruka winner, slipped back to third place (317). Hayböck is tenth in the overall standings. In the Nations Cup, Austria is still at the top with 95 points ahead of Norway.
