L'Autriche, conduite par un super Gregor Schlierenzauer, a remporté samedi le concours par équipes de Planica (Slovénie), comptant pour la Coupe du monde de saut à skis, devant la Norvège et l'Allemagne.
Les Norvégiens se contenteront volontiers de cette seconde place en attendant de fêter comme il se doit le globe de cristal historique qui sera sauf catastrophe remporté par Anders Bardal dimanche.
L'Allemagne avec un excellent Severin Freund complète le podium. La Slovénie avec un Kranjec à nouveau impressionnant termine au pied du podium.

Gregor Schlierenzauer (AUT): „It is always great to win with the team. Winning the final team competition is the biggest motivation for the next year. It was a great competition. It was a bit windy and the jury did a good job. I’m satisfied with my jumps and now I’m looking forward to the final event tomorrow and then to a little break. I think it will be a hard fight tomorrow, there are many jumpers who are very good. I want to jump well and then we will see the result.”
Rune Velta (NOR)): "It was a great day for our team, everyone was doing a good job and we achieved a really good result for us. The Austrians were really good today. We need eight very good jumps to beat them and we were not able to do that today.”
Richard Freitag (GER): “It is special here in Planica. The weather conditions were really nice and the crowd is so loud, especially after the first jump of Robert Kranjec. It is amazing. The other teams were better than us today, but we will do our best to beat them in the future. Tomorrow it would be nice if I could be in the Top 10. I hope the conditions will be as good as today and the audience is in the same good mood again. I’m looking forward to the competition.”
