Brixen female finalists struggle in Innsbruck

In comparison to the Brixen World Cup, all Top-10 underperformed relatively speaking, in the first two rounds in Innsbruck. Natalia Grossman, who won in Brixen, was fifth in the Innsbruck semifinal. Chaehyun Seo, #2 in Brixen, was #19 in Innsbruck and Stasa Gejo dropped from #3 to #15. Out of the other seven Top-10 in Brixen, only four participated and they were on average around #30. On the other hand, Futaba Ito, who was #45 in Brixen, is #2 after the semifinal. Four of the six finalists in Innsbruck did not participate in Brixen, and Oriane Bertone skipped the last Boulder World Cup which would have given her a shot at winning the overall, as out-placing Grossman in Innsbruck, more or less, would have given her the title. Complete results.

Elnaz Rekabi was #23 scoring 35 and was very close to making it to the final as she had her hands on one top.
