The final events of the FIS Nordic Combined Continental Cup USA tour took place in Lake Placid (USA).
On 25./26. March two Individual Gundersen competitions were on the program for the Nordic Combined men.
On day one on the newly renovated MacKenzie Intervale HS100, Tate Frantz took the victory of the Ski Jumping round on home soil. The American jumped to 89 meters and collected 121.7 points, being the first one on the cross-country track in the afternoon.
Rank 2 went to Wendelin Thannheimer (92.5 m, 121 pts) from Germany, who went into the 10 km race only 3 seconds behind Frantz.
American Jasper Good (92.5 m, 117.4 pts) took the third place, which gave him a 17 second backlog on his team mate in the lead.
The furthest jump of the day was performed by German Nick Siegemund with 96.5 meters, who lost valuable points during the landing and took the 8th place (113.6 pts, +32 sec) after the jumping round.
During the race, Jakob Lange of Germany, who was 25 seconds behind after the Ski Jumping round, showed a brilliant comeback and crossed the finish line first, with the fastest skiing time of 24:08.4 min for the 10 km course.
Thannheimer defended his second rank, reaching the finish line 5 sec after his German team mate. Stephen Schumann from the US placed third, 8.8 sec behind Lange.
