WC Willingen/GER - Team Competition

After the first round one could have thought that the teams on the podium are clear. But in the final round everything was through-mixed and the Polish Team (total score: 931,5 points) won ahead Austria (919,2 points) and Germany (910,7 points).

And the Norwegian Team improved from 6th to 5th place (total score: 778,5 points) as final result. Not the result the Team wanted, because it was definitively more possible. Daniel-André Tande (1st round: 133,5 meters, final round: 127,5 meters) and Andreas Stjernen (1st round: 131 meters, final round: 127 meters) both have shown two strong jumps. But it`s a team performance and if two of four only have shown half power the 5th place is justified.

It`s not so that the jumps of Anders Fannemel (1st round: 120 meters, final round: 124,5 meters) and Robert Johansson (1st round: 124 meters, final round: 113 meters) weren`t too bad, but unfortunately two weaker jumps get the whole team down.

Anyway, tick off today`s performance and keep going forward step by step ... in tomorrow`s individual competition (starts at 15:05, CET) and the next team competition at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Lahti on March, the 4th.
