La Norvège toujours sur sa dynamique de victoires
Après l'or des mondiaux, le quatuor de l'entraineur Autrichien Stoeckl remporte presque logiquement le concours de Lahti.
L'Allemagne, hors du podium à Falun, se reprend avec une deuxième place et termine juste devant le Japon.
La France se classe 10eme sur un total de 12 équipes.
A noter la présence de Sébastien Lacroix venu jouer le quatrième homme aux cotés des spécialistes Descombes-Sevoie, R.Lamy-Chappuis et Mayer.
Un concours individuel se déroulera dimanche.

Les réactions
Anders Bardal (NOR): "Today was a good day for us, we showed eight good jumps and that was enough for the win. It was good that we were able to have a competition. It was really windy on the hill, but it was a surprisingly good and exciting competition."
Richard Freitag (GER): "I think it would have been difficult to be in front of Norway today because their jumps were really good. We did well too, but I think 29 points is a lot. Overall it was a nice competition. My jumps were okay, but not good enough to beat Anders. They were not my best ones and there's room for improvement for tomorrow, but I'm looking forward to it."
Noriaki Kasai (JPN): "It's a happy day for us and we are very satisfied. After Falun we were tired, but we stayed in Helsinki for three days and went to a Japanese restaurant. That gave us power for today. The Finnish Sushi was good, but not as good as in Japan."
