The World Cup 2019/20 in ski jumping continued on Saturday with the team jumping in Lahti. The German team secured victory after a tremor.
Lahti - Germany won the second team competition in a row and made an important step in the fight for the Nations Cup. The end result could hardly have been closer.
What a dramatic team competition in Lahti, Finland. The German team had a 2.3 point lead after eight rounds on Slovenia and celebrated their second success in the team. Most recently, Germany had won in Zakopane.
Austria landed just 4.8 points behind Germany, which is still in the lead in the Nations Cup, but lost 100 points to the German team. With 179 points behind Germany is in second place in the Nations Cup. Here is the interim result in the Nations Cup
Ski jumping: Schmid pats, victory seems lost
After the first round, Constantin Schmid, Pius Paschke, Stephan Leyhe and Karl Geiger were ahead of Slovenia.
But then start jumper Constantin Schmid failed badly in the second round and brought the German team behind.
Ski jumping: "With this mistake you can actually no longer win"
However, Pius Paschke, Stephan Leyhe and final jumper Karl Geiger compensated for their teammate's mistake, with Geiger's last jump Germany won and the all-important points for the Nations Cup. "With this mistake you can actually no longer win. We are glad that we still managed to do it," said national coach Stefan Horngacher after the jump.
The World Cup in Lahti ends on Sunday with the second individual competition. Then Geiger also wants to make up ground for the leading Austrian Stefan Kraft in the overall World Cup.

17:37: Enough !!! Germany wins the team jumping in Lahti. What a dramatic jump.
5:36 pm: Anze Lanisek also jumps only 121 meters. Yes madness, it is now incredibly tight.
5:35 pm: Oh, that's just 121 meters for violinists. That's enough for Austria, but it's not the hoped-for super jump. Now Slovenia is coming, it's about victory.
5:34 pm: Force jumps 126.5 meters, the man is simply in shape. Austria will probably be third and get 300 points for the Nations Cup. Now comes Karl Geiger.
17:32: Stefan Kraft then wants to secure third place for Austria. The gap to Germany and Slovenia already seems too big.
17:31: Geiger has the advantage that he is the penultimate on the hill. The Oberstdorfer can produce and put Lanisek under pressure.
17:29: So now we are experiencing an incredible showdown between Germany and Slovenia. Anze Lanisek is 0.7 points ahead of Karl Geiger. The athletes now start in reverse order of placement.
17:27: Oh, only 121 meters for Hayböck. Austria falls significantly behind here. That is 12.2 points on Germany, Kraft will not catch up on violinists
17:26: Madness, that's only 0.7 points between Slovenia and Germany. Now Austria.
17:25: Stephan Leyhe has decent conditions and makes a great jump from the hill. 125 meters, Germany is getting closer again.
5:24 pm: Leyhe gets ready. Now Willinger has to bring Germany back to Slovenia.
5:22 pm: Now comes Prevc. Can it withstand the pressure? That is 121.5 meters, which was decent, but offers opportunities for Leyhe and Hayböck.
17:21: This is about important points for the Nations Cup. In the best case, Germany could catch up 100 points on Austria today. To do this, the DSV eagles would have to win and Austria would be third.
17:20: So let's focus on the fight for victory. Peter Prevc is coming for Slovenia, Stephan Leyhe for Germany and Michael Hayböck for Austria. In the first round Leyhe was clearly the strongest.
17:18: Two more jumpers per nation are coming. Slovenia leads 8.6 points ahead of Germany, Austria is only two points behind. It will be a spectacular finish. The nations behind are already too far away.
17:16: Stefan Huber can once again bring Austria close to victory. At 128 meters, Austria is suddenly back in the game, what a thriller here.
17:15: Good jump from Paschke. That's 122 meters, so he doesn't lose much on Zajc. In the first round he lost a lot more.
17:14: Poland falls out in the fight for the podium, Norway is still there. But now all eyes on Paschke.
17:12: And now we already see Zajc. That's a good 124 meters, this will be a tough nut for Paschke.
17:11: Pius Paschke will start for Germany. For Slovenia, the outstanding Timi Zajc jumps.
17:09: It wasn't going well for the German team. The clear lead is 3.9 points behind Slovenia. But three jumpers are still coming, nothing is lost here.
17:08: And from behind, Austria is suddenly coming much closer. The best jump is 123.5 meters. Aschenwald lost almost 17 points to Schmid.
17:06: Schmid with a big mistake. That is only 112 meters, Germany falls behind Slovenia. That is bitter.
17:05: Johansson jumps only 120.5 meters, it is not far at the moment. Can Schmid change that?
17:04: Cene Prevc is the supposed vulnerability in the Slovenian team. That is only 120.5 meters, Schmid can expand the German lead immediately.
17:02: Finland and Switzerland are the only nations that have no chance of a podium here. All other teams can still make it onto the podium.
