Austria's Nordic combiners fight for the first medal at the Nordic World Cup in Trondheim. The mixed team, consisting of Claudia Purker, Stefan Rettenegger, Johannes Lamparter and Lisa Hirner, fought fourth after ski jumping. The gap to the leading Norwegians, which are in impressive form, is 45 seconds. Gold course holds the domestic quartet with Ida Marie Hagen, Jens Luraas Ausbro, Jarl Magnus Riiber and Gyda Westvold Hansen, who dominate from the start, like laola1.at reported.

Japan and Germany are in the chasing positions, with Japan being only 14 seconds behind Norway and Germany is already 28 seconds ago, which makes the tense competitive situation clear. Lamparter commented concerns about the challenge: "It will be really difficult that we are fighting for the medals here. But maybe a surprise will succeed."
