Norway ranked second after the first half, 11 points behind Germany.

But with a big jump in the second half, Daniel André Tande ensured that the German lead was eaten away and Norway had acquired a solid lead.

But then Johann André Forfang was disappointed. With a jump of just 202.5 meters, Norway finished nine points behind, and the Germans once again had their two strongest cards. Markus Eisenbichler and Karl Geiger.

But Geiger missed the last jump, at the same time that Granerud took a big jump, and there were Norwegians cheering on the plain at Planica, after the gold vanished with 0.5 points for Granerud, only to Geiger on Saturday.

– The reason I win today is because I am in the best team in the world. Today there are many emotions, Johann André Forfang, who disappointed in his second jump, but was saved by Granerud and the rest of the gang, told NRK.

– I think today I also do two very good jumps. So it’s completely crude to look at Granerud during the day. You see in him that he oozes confidence, said Robert Johansson.

Forfang and Tande have participated in all three gold medals. Robert Johansson was with the last time, while this weekend’s silver winner in the individual competition participated for the first time.

Norway won the team competition twice in a row in 2004 and 2006, but finished bronze at the next attempt in 2008, when Austria won. It was his first gold in a row of three in a row.
