Laurie Genovese (FRA4) and Yael Margelisch (SUI4) both just made TP5 Lermoos-Tiroler Zugspitz Arena. They signed in together. They are in 17th and 18th position. Yael was upbeat as she left TP5 and started to hike again. "I'm doing good thank you. I'm good, I signed in and now I'm going for another 1000m hike up. My flights today weren't great. My first was a nice glide, but I didn't get any height. I tried at least. Then the take-off at Zugspitz was in the rain, so not cool."

About the overall race she said: "I am not checking the rankings but I saw the guys are out in front and they are flying super well. It's good. As long as I keep going like this it's good. My team is happy, they are all carrying water up on the hikes so they are getting fit too!"
