Ryota Yamamoto won the jump. In the cross-country part, the three athletes with the next best results in the jump, Greiderer, Julian Schmid, and Johannes Rydzek, soon caught up with Yamamoto and skied together, followed by another group 25–30 seconds behind. At 6 km, Yamamoto has already dropped out of medal contention, and Greiderer, Schmid, and Rydzek were 30 seconds ahead of the second group, then the gap started to narrow. The group caught up with Greiderer, but at 8.5 km Schmid and Rydzek were still 15 seconds ahead. Finally, they were caught up as well, and at the finish line Geiger was first, Graabak second, and Greiderer third, with Lamparter fourth not so far behind.
