Karl Geiger leads after day 1 in Planica
Karl Geiger
The first day of the Ski Flying World Championships could not have gone any better. It s an extremely exciting race for the top after the first two rounds on the Letalnica Ski Flying hill in Planica. After two of the four rounds, Karl Geiger leads with 431.2 points, followed by Norway s Halvor Egner Granerud (426.6 points) and Markus Eisenbichler (425.7 points). I m actually a bit surprised by my performance today myself. The jump in the first round was one of my best ever. I m extremely happy that I m in the lead at halftime, I didn t expect that, but tomorrow I ll continue to attack , Geiger set the motto for Saturday right after his second jump today.
