Last WC this weekend in Xiamen

The seventh and last Lead WC takes place in Xiamen this weekend but there is not so much excitement. Among the female, the overall podium has already been set; Janja Garnbret, Jessica Pilz and Jain Kim. Among the male, Jakob Schubert and Stefano Ghisolfi have secured gold and silver. Romain Desgranges will most likely get the bronze if not Domen Skofic wins the last event. Also the Combined ranking, where you count the two best results, based on the relative ranking of the ones doing Combined, is more or less set as the best Japanese will not participate. On Sunday there will be live-streaming from Xiamen starting with semi at 13.00 and finals at 18.30.
