Natalie Geisenberger can no longer take victory in the overall classification.
With 74 points ahead of world champion and defending champion Julia Taubitz (Oberwiesenthal), the Miesbacher only has to finish in the top 15.
At the World Cup final on the natural ice rink in St. Moritz, Dajana Eitberger (Ilmenau) can decide the German triple triumph with third place in the overall standings, but has to defend her 12-point lead over the Austrian Madeleine Egle.
NORDIC COMBINATION
World Cup in Klingenthal, Germany
9.30 a.m .: Jump from the large hill (Eurosport) 11.30 a.m .: Ten-kilometer run (ZDF and Eurosport)
The first triple success of the German combined athletes since the 2018 Olympics has inspired Vinzenz Geiger and Co.
In the absence of Norway's dominator Jarl Magnus Riiber, who is training for the World Cup at home, the protégés of national coach Hermann Weinbuch are the measure of all things.
On Saturday Geiger won ahead of Fabian Rießle and Eric Frenzel.
This trio is again considered to be the favorite on Sunday.
After cancellations in Beijing and Lillehammer, it will probably be the last competition before the World Cup in Allgäu.
