In bright sunshine the Norwegian jumped the furthest distance of the day with 102.5 meters (140.5 pts) and took the lead. Therefore, she was the first one to start into the 5 km at the Ried stadium this afternoon.

Rank 2 after jumping went to her team mate and Overall World Cup leader Gyda Westvold Hansen, who reached 101.5 meters and collected 134.9 points. She started the race 22 seconds after Leinan Lund.

Current Best Skier Ida Marie Hagen (100 mts, 126.4 pts) placed third 56 seconds behind her Norwegian team mate.

In the final lap she caught up with Hansen and passed her, but in the end she didn't manage to catch up with Lund.
