Also former overall World Cup and 4-Hills-Tournament winner Primoz Peterka took part in the competitions in Almaty. But as 17th and 20th he could not achieve very good results.

Stoch the best on both hills

With these results the long trip paid off for Kamil Stoch, who came to Kazakhstan to secure one more quota spot for Poland in the World Cup via the COC. Because the favorit could also win the competition on the large hill with jumps of 137 m and 136.5 m and a total of 273.3 points.

With 262.5 points two athletes shared the second place: Jakub Janda from the Czech Republic (134 m /133.5 m) and young Bulgarian Vladimir Zografski (133.5 m / 134 m), who could achieve his first podium finish in a Continental Cup.
