In the windy conditions, the Czech representatives were far from progressing to the final eight in the fifteen-member starting field. All four performed evenly, Ulrich's 85.5 m long attempt was the best scored. Indráčková and Koudelka jumped half a meter less, Rýdl recorded 83.5, but the men started from a lower entry window.
The German jumpers, represented by the new world champion Katharina Althaus, Selina Freitag and the silver and bronze medalist of the middle bridge Andreas Wellinger with Karl Geiger, confirmed their role as favourites. Runners-up Norway beat by 12.7 points, Olympic race winners Slovenia lost 16.8 points.
