12:20 p.m
Slovenia
Ema Klinec can’t match the distance of Althaus and leaves something behind, because the conditions would have allowed a jump over 130 meters. With 125 meters, she made up a few points that the team surprisingly left behind in the previous groups.
12:19
Germany
Now it applies to the German team. Katharina Althaus was really good at the rehearsal and now everything fits together again! From top to bottom it delivers a smooth flight and slams the 131 meters into the slope. The grades are also top and she gets the 18.0 three times. It passes Italy with a sovereign lead. Now it will be exciting to see what the competition can do.
12:18
Poland
Sure, she can’t match Takanashi’s distance, but Nicole Konderla’s 115 meters is completely within the range that she is currently able to achieve. Poland is ahead of the USA.
12:18
Takanashi weakens for Japan
12:17
Japan
As usual, Sara Takanashi delivers a technically clean flight and with 121.5 meters can set the best distance so far in this group. When landing, however, the series winner leaves a lot behind and only takes low values with it. As a result, Japan falls behind Italy.
12:16
Italy
Jessica Malsiner also twitches briefly in the lane and is somewhat disturbed in the process. But she does her job well and can still get 119 meters out.
12:15 p.m
Finland
Jenny Rautionaho is already having minor problems on the track and the snow seems to be stopping somewhere. She handles it well, but maybe it added a bit of stress to the process at the end. After 111.5 meters, however, Finland remains fully on course for the final.
12:14
Romania
She won’t be happy with that. Daniela Vasilica Haralambie is actually already close to the extended world class, but is too passive today and cannot show more than 105 meters.
12:13
United States
Annika Belshaw is on the road for the USA. The team would currently be in the final, but Poland is lurking and still has Dawid Kubacki behind. Belshaw can’t get much out of it for her team and after 109 meters it’s over.
12:12
Michael Hayböck expands Austria’s leadership
12:11
Austria
Michael Hayböck uses all his routine and ensures that Austria can continue to pull away! Despite a slight pull from behind, he can still put the 129.5 meters in the snow and also has good values for his posture. With 19.8 points, the ÖSV team is already at the top. Germany is in second place. Norway is third.
12:11
Bendik Jakobsen Heggli stays behind Germany
12:10 p.m
Norway
The Norwegian head coach has opted for one of his youngsters in second position. But now Bendik Jakobsen Heggli has to lose some feathers in difficult conditions with cross winds. With 121 meters it falls just behind the German team.
12:09 p.m
Slovenia
Slovenia missed a bit in the first half, can Timi Zajc bring his team back up? Not really. At 121.5 meters, he doesn’t manage to conjure up a really long jump out of a hat either. Slovenia lags behind. Only fourth place is currently available.
12:08 p.m
Constantin Schmid sets an example
12:08 p.m
Germany
Constantin Schmid throws his arms in the air! The German shows that things are still going well on the hill and with a great speed in the inrun and a good transition at the table, he really gets going. After 129.5 meters, Germany is in first position.
12:07 p.m
Piotr Zyla also has problems
12:07 p.m
Poland
Little surprise! Piotr Zyla can’t deliver what you’re used to from him either. After 118 meters he has to land and the mood in the outrun is correspondingly subdued, even if not much would have been possible anyway due to the weaker women’s team.
12:06
Ryoyu Kobayashi is struggling
12:06
Japan
Ryoyu Kobayashi was able to unpack solid jumps yesterday, but today the star from Japan is struggling again and misses some important points for his team. In the end you are only 2.1 points ahead of Italy. Certainly not Kobayashi’s claim.
12:04
Italy
Alex Insam can add a few meters and with 123.5 meters with a slight tailwind Italy is ahead of Finland with 10.4 points.
12:04
Finland
Niko Kytösaho decided not to try the jump and the Finn is going straight into the competition. With a slight updraft, he jumps out 120.5 meters. Although his nation lands sovereignly on the one, he himself should certainly not be satisfied with it. There was more in it.
12:03
Romania
Daniel Andrei Cacina is one of the young athletes from the Romanian team and there is still work to be done on his jumping form. He is very passive on the take-off and after 94.5 meters it’s over for him too.
12:02
United States
It is the second group’s turn and thus the first of the men. However, he will not get much out of it for his team. After 113.5 meters it’s over and he can’t fix much about the grades either.
12:01
Marita Kramer puts Austria just at the top
12:00 p.m
Austria
Now it applies to Marita Kramer. A further leap must be made now, because she also has good conditions when the release comes. And he’s coming! After 127 meters it is her turn in terms of distance. The attitude gives some deductions. Is it still enough for Norway? Yes! Austria takes the lead after the first group by a mere 0.5 points.
11:59
Anna Odine Strom takes the lead
11:58
Norway
Anna Odine Strøm presents herself completely differently! The Norwegian uses the good conditions for her jump, gets into the jumping position very well and then lets herself be carried. The landing comes at 128 meters and Norway moves up to first place with 7.3 points.
11:58
Nika Kriznar opens for Slovenia
11:58
Slovenia
Surprised! In the rehearsal, Nika Kriznar had really unpacked one, but now she too has a lot to do with the tailwinds and cannot unpack her best attempt. With 120 meters and lower grades, Slovenia comes in just behind Japan and Germany.
11:57
Selina Freitag remains behind the Japanese
11:56
Germany
Can Selina Freitag put the German team in a good position? The training went well, in the rehearsal she caught a slightly worse jump. And now? Now it will be a solid attempt, but in which much more was possible. Shortly after the take-off she had to intervene and thus lost speed and meters. With 121.5 meters, the DSV team initially lagged behind Japan.
11:55
Poland
Kinga Rajda is fighting her way back into the World Cup after a knee injury, but it’s still easy to see that she doesn’t have the necessary confidence in her body. Poland initially has to settle for fifth place.
11:55
Yuki Ito is Japan’s first jumper
11:55
Japan
Yuki Ito was really good in the trial round, now the Japanese is a few meters behind. She can be credited with 120.5 meters with grades in the 17 range. How much that is worth will be shown after the next athlete, because then the top nations will come.
11:54
Italy
What can Lara Malsiner do against it for the Italian team? She’s in a similar situation to Kykkänen earlier and can’t get much more out of it at the end. She is very upright after the table, giving the wind so much surface area we can only go 115.5 meters. As a result, Italy lags behind Finland by a hair’s breadth.
11:52
Finland
Julia Kykkänen has much more experience and can immediately add a few meters to the slope. Her 116.5 meters should by no means be a hurdle for the best athletes in the first group.
11:51
Romania
Delia Anamaria Folea of the Romanian team is next in line, but she can’t put up a good distance with a tailwind either. It is still very steep in the air and the technology is still lacking. With 90 meters, the team is already well behind the USA.
11:51
Paige Jones opens the competition
11:50
United States
Paige Jones from the USA opens the mixed competition. The young athlete still has a lot to do in the air and has to land at 109 meters. The main thing for her team today is to make it to the final.
11:44
The conditions
Winter has arrived in the Black Forest and the mixed competition will start under snowfall. Despite the circumstances, the facility is well prepared. The women open the competition before the first group of men follows.
11:40 a.m
That’s how the test went
In the practice round, Slovenia showed that they want to make life difficult for the competition today. The team collected the most points in the four jumps and finished well ahead of Norway and Austria. The German team ranked close behind.
11:33
Who else needs to be considered?
In addition to Germany and Austria, Slovenia and Norway currently appear to have broad-based teams in the women’s and men’s divisions. In addition, Japan belongs to the narrow circle of favorite teams. Meanwhile, Poland is considered a blatant outsider in the mixed competition after the ski jumping nation missed out on promoting women’s ski jumping.
11:27
Austria also in the role of favourites
The team from Austria is also clearly one of the favorites today. With Marita Kramer as the starting jumper, the team has a strong athlete in first position and Michael Hayboeck also showed that the hill in Titisee-Neustadt suits him. Eva Pinkelnig is currently wearing the yellow jersey in the women’s World Cup. The form curve is also right for Stefan Kraft.
11:23
DSV quartet in a good mood
The German team has every chance of winning the first mixed race in winter. Selina Freitag, who already cut a good figure in the women’s training sessions on Friday, opens the competition. She is followed by Constantin Schmid. The third position is taken by the experienced Katharina Althaus, before Karl Geiger will mark the end.
11:15
Ten teams registered
For the first time this winter, the ski jumpers will be taking part in a team competition. A total of ten nations were able to field a team for the first mixed of the winter season in Titisee-Neustadt. Not included is Switzerland, among others, whose women’s team did not travel to the Black Forest. The eight best teams make it to the final. The first run will start at 11:50 a.m.
Warm welcome
Hello and welcome to the mixed team competition from Titisee-Neustadt! The live ticker begins in good time before the start.
