The day before, the Germans had claimed the entire podium in the 10 km Gundersen competition, with <\/span><b>Johannes Rydzek<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Julian Schmid<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><b>Vinzenz Geiger<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> delighting German fans with a sweep. These same German ski giants continued where they left off, once again taking a clean sweep in the cross-country segment, setting themselves up for excellent positions in the ski jumping portion later in the afternoon. This time, the first to cross the finish line was Julian Schmid, who had finished second in the previous day&#8217;s competition. Less than a second behind him was Geiger, who beat Rydzek by 0.1 seconds. Austria&#8217;s Johannes Lamparter, who finished fourth, was only 0.1 seconds behind Rydzek.

Germany\u2019s <\/span><b>Manuel Faisst<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> took third place.
