In the second half of the 10km cross country, which started 1 minute 26 seconds behind the top, he finished in 9th place, although he narrowed the gap to 48 seconds with a tenacious slide.

Watanabe finished in 3rd place for the first time in 2 seasons in the overall ranking.
On the other hand, Yamamoto took the lead in the longest unbeatable 143m jump in the first half of the jump, and competed for the lead up to the 5km point in the second half of the cross country.
I was gradually pulled away and lowered the ranking, but I finished in 5th place, which was my best.
The winner was Jarl Magnus Riiber of Norway, who won the overall individual victory for the third time in a row.
