Il s'agit du quatrième podium de la saison pour la jeune sauteuse (17 ans) des Contamines-Montjoie (Haute Savoie) qui pointe au 3e rang du classement mondial dominé par Takanashi.

Dimanche un second concours est prévu sur ce tremplin d'Hinterzarten.

Les réactions (source FIS) : 

Sarah Hendrickson (USA): "I always liked that hill in Hinterzarten, we are having a good relationship. Before this World Cup weekend we have already been training in Hinterzarten and it went really well for me." 
 
Sara Takanashi (JPN):  "I managed to show two good jumps and even set the telemark in both rounds. At the take-off, however, I was a bit early and I hope to do that better tomorrow. The hill is prepared in a fantastic way." 
 
Coline Mattel (FRA): “Usually my jumps in the second round are really good. I am satisfied with my second jump today as well, but Sarah and Sara were just a bit better than me."
