The women's duo Laura Pletz and Katharina Gruber narrowly missed out on the podium and finished in fourth place.
"It's cool that it worked out like this today!"
Gfrerer and Walcher were delighted that their plan had worked out perfectly and are already eyeing a possible World Cup ticket: "It's cool that it worked out like this today. We were able to do a really good job both on the hill and on the cross-country ski run, everything we set out to do worked out," explained the man from Salzburg and the man from Styria in unison.
Now it's time to recover well and focus on Saturday. "That's clearly our highlight, as it's not just about medals but also a permanent ticket to the World Cup."
