United Germany had never won this race, it had succeeded as West Germany in 1988 but the format was completely different given that it included three athletes per nation and not four, today Vinzenz Beiger, Fabian Riessle, Eric Frenzel, the greatest ever of this sport, and Johannes Rydzek have filled the gap. The jump segment was won by Austria but the Germans left with only six seconds of gap, the Japanese with 19 and Norway with 27, time to complete half the first fraction on the narrow skis and Geiger first reaches the Austra and then the leave in place before the change.
From that moment it is a walk through Germany, while behind the other three teams are recompensed, Japan crashes in the third fraction and will reach over a minute from the bronze on the finish line, while the last is the turn of Austria and then l Silver is Norway's Jan Schmid, Espen Andersen, Jarl Magnus Riiber and Jørgen Graabak 52 "7 from Germany and Wilhelm Denifl's Wunderteam bronze, Lukas Klapfer, Bernhard Gruber and Mario Seidl at 1'07" 8. The medal nations are the same as Sochi 2014 but with the first two inverted metals. Italy has closed the fraction of the jump in tenth and last position to just under four minutes from the head, in the bottom has lost another minute but thanks to Alessandro Pittin has reassembled two positions in the last fraction closing octave.
