Nordic combination: Daniela Dejori made a big statement on Saturday in Ramsau (AUT) and made it into the top ten in the World Cup for the first time. When Norwegian Ida Marie Hagen won, the 21-year-old finished in tenth place. After finishing 15th in ski jumping, she was able to gain five positions on the cross-country ski trail. Things didn't go quite so well for their Val Gardena teammates: Samuel Costa and Aaron Kostner took 23rd and 24th place among the men, but they made up a lot of places in cross-country skiing. The victory went to the North Tyrolean Johannes Lamparter.
