Prevc and Zupancic the best again
Like already on Saturday, the two Slovenes Cene Prevc and Miran Zupancic were the best also in the second Continental Cup competition in Kuopio, Finland.

18-year-old Cene Prevc dominated on the large hill at the Puijo with 133.5 m and 128 m and a total of 258.0 points. This means that the jumper of Kranj was on the podium in five of the six Continentalcups this summer, he won three of them.

Once again the second place went to Miran Zupancic with 130 m and 123 m (243.3 points). For him it was already the fourth Top 3 result in the last weeks.

The hosts could also celebrate a top result on Sunday. With Olli Muotka in third a Finn made it to the podium in this event. With 127.5 m and 124.5 m (230.5 points) he overtook Germany's Stephan Leyhe, who was third at halftime and came in fourth in the end.

The two best Poles in this competition were Aleksander Zniszczol and Bartlomiej Klusek in fifth and sixth. Behind Russia's Anton Kalinitschenko (7th), Mitja Meznar finished eighth and with Andraz Pograjc in tenth a total of four Slovenes were in the Top 10.

Junior World Champion Jakub Woly came in ninth, his teammate Stefan Hula had some bad luck. The Pole, who was sixth after the first round, showed the longest jump of the round with 133.5 m in the final but he fell and so the 27-year-old finished 11th.

Cene Prevc now has a clear lead in the overall ranking with 482 points. Miran Zupanic is second with 343 points, Jakub Wolny follows in third (214 points).
