Lukas Greiderer (AUT)
Lukas Greiderer approaches his jump at the take-off table with a lot of force and is then lucky that it still goes a fairly decent distance. After 92 meters only Thannheimer remains in front of him.
09:39
Stephen Schumann (USA)
Phew! Actually, the compact format would be Stephen Schumann’s great opportunity for a top result. After 81 meters, however, it could be difficult for him to achieve this today, even if the time intervals are smaller than in the regular Gundersen.
09:38
Ben Loomis (USA)
His compatriot can squeeze out a few more meters and after 90.5 meters he certainly has his chances of a good result in the afternoon.
09:38
Niklas Malacinski (USA)
Niklas Malacinski will not overtake the German. At 87.5 meters, he will certainly be starting from midfield today.
09:37
Wendelin Thannheimer (GER)
Will it be better for the next German? Yes. Wendelin Thannheimer got the timing well on the take-off table, found his jumping position fluently and placed the 94.5 meters into the slope. The grades are good and he can take the lead in the classification for the moment.
09:36
Andreas Skoglund (NOR)
Andreas Skoglund wants to follow suit, but then overspeeds on the take-off table and has to land before the 90 meter mark. Accordingly, he also has to find his way into the midfield.
09:35
Espen Andersen (NOR)
Espen Andersen shows how to land in this area. He gets down to 94.5 meters and does the telemark relatively cleanly, which is rewarded with high marks. He takes third place behind Flatla and Heinis.
09:34
Sora Yachi (JPN)
Sora Yachi catches on again and then seems completely surprised when things go this far. After 93.5 meters it pushes him down and he touches the snow with his hand. Conversely, there are huge deductions in attitude and instead of a place at the top, only 13th place.
09:33
Raffaele Buzzi (ITA)
Raffaele Buzzi also actually lost his jump at the take-off table when the technique wasn’t right. With 85.5 meters he is currently in 14th place, which is 46 seconds behind.
09:32
Simen Tiller (NOR)
Simen Tiller slides into the Norwegian squad for Oftebro. But he can’t take advantage of his opportunities. He overdoes it at the take-off table and that rarely goes well. At 87.5 meters it’s over.
09:31
Marco Heinis (FRA)
Marco Heinis catches a slight touch from the front and the Frenchman takes advantage of it! With good timing and a good flight attitude, he hits the 94.5 meters and makes the coaching team cheer. Together with Flatla, Heinis moves into first position.
09:30
Vid Vrhovnik (SLO)
Vid Vrhovnik also remains below his potential at 88.5 meters. The Slovenian can actually be trusted to do a lot more.
09:30
Aaron Kostner (ITA)
Aaron Kostner can’t go along with that at all. The jump doesn’t fit front or back and, of all things, in the format where he would have good opportunities, it’s only 80 meters.
09:29
Kasper Moen Flatla (NOR)
Kasper Moen Flatla sets the new best distance, but he doesn’t seem to be completely satisfied and as he rides out he throws his head back and slaps his hands on his legs. But 91 meters is certainly enough for the lead for some time.
09:28
Arttu Mäkiaho (FIN)
His compatriot presents himself completely differently. He moves away from the take-off table much too timidly and after being much too passive for the first few meters, the matter is already over at 85 meters. When the grades aren’t right either, things go back a long way.
09:27
Will Karhumaa (FIN)
The conditions and the access hatch ensure that some athletes can have fun. With Wille Karhumaa things fit together much better than in the last few days and he can take second place with 89 meters and 17 marks.
09:26
Tristan Sommerfeldt (GER)
Tristan Sommerfeldt is one of the weaker jumpers and has to get back into the World Cup after his corona infection. At 85 meters, he can be quite satisfied with his performance on the hill today. Now we just have to wait and see where it will end up.
09:26
Laurent Muhlethaler (FRA)
Yesterday he was frustrated, but today Laurent Muhlethaler can look satisfied in the run-out. With 89 meters he takes the lead from Walcher.
09:25
Jan Vytrval (CZE)
Jan Vytrval has to deal with many problems in the association in the Czech Republic and many of the jumps are in danger of falling into disrepair. This also affects the performance and he cannot deliver more than 84.5 meters.
09:24
Paul Walcher (AUT)
Paul Walcher shows that he wants to establish himself in the Austrian team. He comes off the take-off table solidly, lies well over the bars and sets the 88.5 meters stable in the snow. Thanks to the higher plus points for the wind and better attitude scores, that’s enough for him to take the lead.
09:23
Gasper Brecl (SLO)
Gasper Brecl used to be one of the strong jumpers in the field, but in recent years the Slovenian has lost his ability and has never really managed to catch up with the world’s best. After 86.5 meters he takes second place, but you can tell from his face that his expectations are actually different.
09:22
Iacopo Bortolas (ITA)
The wind blows a little more into Iacopo Bortola’s hill and he also has a hard time breaking Andrews’ distance. It comes down to 84.5 meters. He can’t save much from the grades either. He will have to wait and see what this width will do in the end.
09:21
Yuya Yamamoto (JPN)
Yuya Yamamoto, on the other hand, can’t get his technique on the hill at all and after only 80.5 meters the Japanese will go way back.
09:20
Grant Andrews (USA)
Grant Andrews can cheer. For him too, the cooperation with the Norwegian team on the hill is slowly paying off and he can go up to 88.5 meters. Since he set the distance with a tailwind, that was enough to secure the lead.
09:19
Domenico Mariotti (ITA)
Domenico Mariotti can’t keep up and the Italian lands after 83.5 meters. So it’s probably just a matter of a few points for him today.
09:18
Ondrej Pazout (CZE)
Ondřej Pažout ensures that Rakparov only makes a brief appearance in the leaders’ box. He sets the 89 meters into the slope and gets scores of 17, which easily put him in first place.
09:17
Chingiz Rakparov (KAZ)
Since this year, Chingiz Rakparov has been traveling with the Norwegian team and it seems as if the jumping style is gradually changing. He comes away from the jump table in a stable manner and can initially sit in front of the ÖSV athletes at 82 meters.
09:16
Jonas Fischbacher (AUT)
Will things go better for the next ÖSV starter? The conditions are still good and Jonas Fischbacher is taking advantage of his second World Cup ever to go down to at least 77 meters. But the top stars will also go a step further.
09:15
Marc Luis Rainer (AUT)
His teammate also lacks jumping form. He doesn’t get into the flying position cleanly from the take-off table and also has to land at 73 meters.
09:15
Kilian Gütl (AUT)
It’s ready on the ski jump in Ramsau and the first starter is Kilian Gütl from the national group of Austrians. With a light tailwind he brings his jump down to 73 meters.
09:11
The conditions
On Friday the ski jumping conditions were difficult with changing winds and snowfall. However, the jury still went through with the round, which caused dissatisfaction among some athletes. Today things are looking much better at the ski jump and the wind was stable during the rehearsal.
09:08
The opportunity for DSV combiners?
The German combined athletes have not yet been able to deliver the best performances on the hill this winter. Accordingly, today’s competition format should suit them. Manuel Faißt in particular, who can handle both the jump and the cross-country ski run well in Ramsau, can hope for a good result. But Johannes Rydzek and Julian Schmid can also calculate a lot. Vinzenz Geiger should also be among the favorites. Terence Weber, Wendelin Thannheimer, David Mach and Tristan Sommerfeldt complete the large line-up from Germany.
09:04
Austrians with opportunities
Austria certainly also has opportunities to provide the eventual winner. Johannes Lamparter in particular needs to be taken into account in this competition format. But Stefan Rettenegger is also certainly something to consider when it comes to awarding the top places. Lukas Greiderer could also use the competition as an opportunity for a place at the top. The large squad also includes ÖSV starters Thomas Rettenegger, Martin Fritz, Franz-Josef Rehrl as well as Paul Walcher, Jonas Fischbacher, Marc Luis Rainer and Kilian Gütl.
09:01
Oftebro is missing after a fall
After his fall yesterday, Jens Lurås Oftebro is no longer running today. The Norwegian was in hospital for a check-up and after a concussion was diagnosed, the Norwegian team decided to withdraw his participation for today.
08:54
Is competition striking again?
The World Cup premiere of the compact format in Ruka and yesterday’s mass start were the only competitions this winter in which competitors Jarl Magnus Riiber were able to beat. It will therefore be interesting to see whether the Norwegian will have to give way to one of his competitors again today or whether he will end up at the top of the podium. In addition to him, Jørgen Gråbak from the Norwegian camp also needs to be taken into account. Eero Hirvonen from Finland will also want to take advantage of his chance.
08:47
The process
Unlike in Grundersen, where the point gaps are converted into time gaps, in this competition format the placement is important. Depending on the position, there is a fixed gap to the leader. This is set out in the regulations. The second place starts six seconds behind, the third one twelve seconds, the fourth one 17 seconds behind. The maximum gap to the front is 1:30 minutes. The format is intended to give the stronger runners an advantage after the Nordic Combined recently shifted towards athletes with strong jumps.
08:38
Good morning!
The Nordic combined athletes are taking part in the competition this morning. The jumping round of the compact competition begins at 9:15 a.m. before hitting the cross-country ski trail in the afternoon at 3:30 p.m.
