Slovenians had started the match in the south of Norway well. Domen Prevc as the first team jumper landed at 237.5 m, which put Slovenia into fourth place. The second Slovenian, Jernej Damjan, jumped 207.0 m, bringing Slovenia in third place after Norway and Austria.

Slovenian head coach Goran Janus was pleased with the performance: "I would like to congratulate the team. We know that it's very difficult to get past the knoll and the P point at the ski hill in Vikersund, and we've seen a lot of failed jumps. We're on the podium, that's what we've wanted, and we're very glad. Compared to yesterday's qualifications, the Germans weren't as good today but all things considered, the second place would be the maximum we could achieve. But it doesn't matter, the third place is great! It's well known that Norwegians are good fliers, we can only admit that at the moment they're the best. "
